I always ask my couples if there's any important photos they want to make sure I get on their wedding days

Analiese told me it was pictures of her mama 🫶🏼

So all day, I was observant of mom. And I know how important these photos are. We intentionally created this time with bride and mom to just have a moment together. Documenting it was so special.

Asking questions like what is important on your wedding day to you helps me capture your wedding in a unique way. And also makes your gallery special to YOU!

Planning a wedding and feeling overwhelmed?

Here’s where I would start if I was planning my wedding!

🎀 First things first, HAVE A DATE! Every other wedding vendor will ask this question first. From caterer to florist to photographer…they will all need to know this!

🎀 Kind of hand-in-hand with the date, FIND A VENUE!! Your venue is easily the biggest vendor you will choose in my opinion. It solidifies the date, sets the vibe, lets you know if you need a different area to get ready, how many guests, etc. Truly just so so much!

🎀 Next, PICK YOUR TOP 3 PRIORITY VENDORS AND BOOK THEM! Each couples 3 will be different, but good vendors book fast. My top 3 vendors would be photographer, florist, and food. These are the 3 things that mean the most to me. So decide what is most important to you and get them booked ASAP!

🎀 Finally, MAKE A CHECKLIST! This is definitely the “type A” list lover in me coming out, but a wedding is a BEAST! It is so easy to feel overwhelmed and let things fall through the cracks.

If you do these things it will make you feel like your conquering all things wedding and planning the day of your dreams!!

PS, if a wedding to do list sounds like a great idea, but the thought of making one overwhelms you LET ME HELP YOU!! I will gladly send you my wedding day to do list! Comment below and I will slide into your DMs!

Can I tell you a secret?

I used to be afraid of heights.

So you know what I did?

I went skydiving.

Want another secret?

I used to be crippled by a fear of failure and rejection.

So I started my own business where I’ve failed and have been told no more times than I can count.

To be honest, I still wrestle with the fear of failure and rejection. I face it every day when I get told by potential clients “we’ve gone a different direction.” Or worse yet, they just straight up ghost me.

It’s easy in this business to take it personal. To let the lies creep on in and tell me I’m not good enough. It’s something I have to work really hard at to not believe. To not let it affect my business, my day, the art that I create, the clients I do have and am serving.

Because the truth of the matter is… I’m not for everyone

Just because an inquiring client goes another direction doesn’t mean I suck at this job.

Being ghosted doesn’t mean I’m a horrible person and am not qualified.

Easier said than done, yes.

But you know what I learned when I faced my fear of heights by going skydiving?

I learned that fear is just a lie. It’s a bully. I learned that fear can’t cripple you when you face it head on. It can’t speak into your soul when you give it no space in your life.

This is something I’m not very good at. I’m very much a work in progress over here.

But facing fears has been worth it in my experience every single time.

Because now, I’m not afraid of heights. Now, I have a business that I’ve built from the ground up that I love with every ounce of my heart. And that is pretty dang worth it in my book. 🫶🏼

"Lauren is amazing at what she does! She was well organized and also very flexible and adaptable during our wedding day. I love her editing style, keeping the photos looking natural but also giving them some sort of honey glow to make you look fabulous! She was able to capture all the moments we ever dreamed of and more.. and she even did it outside in the pouring rain for us! She was very dedicated to capturing our special moments and is a fun, kind hearted presence that we very much enjoyed on our wedding day. Would 10/10 recommend Lauren!!"

Truly rain or shine over here! 🫶🏼 I have the very best clients that I would do anything for! And I can honestly say this was one of my favorite all-time wedding days! It was so fun!

I want to get you and your love in front of my camera 👀 and yes, I'm looking at you 😉

I've always been mesmerized by the morning preparation of a wedding day

They're always filled with a bopping playlist and joy
Lots of hairspray and a flurry of getting everything prepared
They're typically always a little behind schedule
But they're full of anticipation and excitement
Full of the sweetest moments of the bride and her closest family one last time before she becomes a wife 💕

I've always loved these moments of the wedding day. It's honestly my calmest part of the day before the action starts. They always feel quiet to me even if it's a cluster of activity. It's the moment of the day I get to watch a real-life princess take shape! And that is really really fun!

And if you're beginning to prepare to get ready on your wedding day, here are some tips and tricks I'd recommend:

🎀 Pick a place to put on your dress that is well lit! Your photos will be DREAMY!

🎀 Clear the getting ready area of clutter. Trash, clothes, bags, makeup...pack it up and put it away. You don't want them to be in your pictures. It's helpful if you pick a designated clutter area and keep everything there (think closet or spare room)

🎀 Pack a crochet hook if your dress has buttons! This helps the process so much! Especially if the person putting you in your dress has their nails done

🎀 Have items gathered in a box or bag that you want to have photographed for flatlay/detail pictures! Think shoes, perfume, veil, flowers, sentimental items, rings, vow box. The possibilities are endless here, but it's so helpful to have the items gathered.

🎀 Pack a pretty hanger for your dress. You'll thank me later 😘

Happy wedding prepping lovelies! 🫶🏼

Hey!! Happy Monday!

I'm coming to you with my spring session availability!

Just a couple notes:

- I only book sessions about 3-4 months in advance just so I can finalize my wedding and travel schedule and give my wedding clients prime pick of engagement spots. So if you want a summer session check back in late March/April

- My weekend availability is slim due to me shooting mostly weddings and taking Sundays off. But if you need a weekend, reach out and I can see what I can do. :)

To book, message me or inquire through here: https://laurmarphoto.com/book-me -canvas
