✨️MY 100TH WEDDING✨️

And funny story...my very first wedding couple were guests (shoutout )! Who knew that their Monday afternoon wedding where I drug my best friend along (second shoutout ) would lead to here. Wild to think that when I started this gig, I didn't even want to shoot weddings 😂

I think yesterday was a fun way to spend such a big milestone! A beautiful venue I've never shot, my favorite djs, andddd the most chill couple to ever exist!

Alyssa and Dalson, thank you for being you! For making your day 1000% YOU! Full of trucks, rock music, and bling! A good old rain storm and love!

Thanks for trusting me with such a special day 🫶🏼

100. Wild. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you to each and every person who trust me with their memories.

When one of your all-time favorite wedding couples have the most precious little babe and ask you to capture it too 🥹😭 I melt!

Beth and Elias, she's the literal cutest thing ever! I'm so happy for you and your lil' fam!

This one was a special one for me 🫶🏻

When Zach and Emma told me they decided to elope and asked me to capture it, it was a very easy yes! I love all weddings, but when it's family it's just a little more sentimental.

Also, if you can't tell, it poured rain. Not going to lie, I prayed pretty hard for an overcast afternoon, but pouring rain wasn't necessarily what I envisioned lol. However, God answered my prayer and opened the heavens. It genuinely made the most fun and memorable day!

Emma and Zach, I wish you guys all the years of happiness! Love you forever!

Introducing the Burket's ✨️

Yesterday was dreamy!!

From being a wildflower themed wedding to a venue I'd been dying to shoot to Morgan and Canaan 🫶🏻 it was dreamy dreamy for sure!

I made a comment about how Morgan's eyes probably make Canaan weak in the knees, and he goes, "You have no idea"...

I literally melted a little bit, but I think that is a great representation of these two. Just so utterly head over heels in love with each other.

Like isn't that the sweetest thing ever?!

07/07/2024

I fell in love with these two a couple years ago at another wedding I was shooting (shout out Ronnie and Racheal). When they hired me to shoot their wedding I did a little jump for joy. The more I get to know them, the more I become obsessed with them!

But you want to know what they love most about each other?

Lauren: “Peter is the most sincere, caring, and empathetic person I've ever met. He is so genuine and goes out of his way to make everyone happy and feel included. I admire so many things about his personality and his ability to be wholeheartedly, unapologetically himself. I also love that he is the only person I feel knows me to my core, more than my parents, sister, and best friends. I feel truly at peace and comfort with him.”

Peter: “The way her smile lights up not just a room, but the whole atmosphere any where she is. She brings joy and warmth to an entire area and can turn a mild occasion into a full party just by a silly laugh and a full body smile. When Lauren looks up at me or catches my eye from across the room, I get butterflies to this day that bring a calm, warmth to me that allows me to fully breathe and enjoy my life.”

I melt.

Watching these two yesterday, following them around, taking their pictures…what they love about each other was so evident. It was the sweetest thing to document! 🤍

The most special thing I've gotten to capture

01/07/2024

These two! 😍

Before I ever fell in love with Lex and Drew, I fell in love with Alexis' parents. It's easy to do when there are months I spend every weekend with them. Yesterday, I got the biggest honor of capturing their baby girls' wedding day. It's not lost on me the privilege of that.

When I tell you yesterday was absolute perfection, I truly mean it.

It was so so good!

Alexis was the most beautiful and chill bride. Full of bubbly joy and excitement all day long! She stole the breath of every single guest as she descended the stairs in true princess fashion.

Drew was the sweetest and kindest groom. Just in sheer awe of his beautiful bride from the moment he saw her.

I couldn't think of a better match for either of them. They are the very best pair!

Lex and Drew, thank you from the bottom of my heart for trusting me with your wedding! It means the WORLD to me! Imma be obsessed with you both for a long time! 🫶🏼

Elopement in the mountains 🫱🏻‍🫲🏽 LaurMar Photo

I spent the past couple days out in Wyoming capturing Lexi and Justin's elopement in the Tetons 🏔

This has been a couple years in the making in planning and flash forward to now and it actually happened! It was GORGEOUS! I honestly don't think I could have dreamed up better weather if I tried!

I'm so thankful for these two and the fact I got to capture their adventurous marriage! It was so much fun exploring somewhere I hold so dear to my heart.

24/06/2024

What a whirlwind of a weekend filled with so much goodness. I put together this sneak from Saturday on my flight to Wyoming and I'm so excited to FINALLY share a glimpse of the Holsinger wedding! 🫶

These two cuties officially became Husband and Wife at 2:22pm on 6.22.24 (how stinking cool is that?!). When the preach said the time before announcing them Mr. and Mrs. my heart skipped a little beat for them

You see 222 is such a holy number. 2 in the bible means "faithful witness" or "someone who is set apart for God." And these two got the sweetest blessing by tying the knot right at that time.

How incredible!

I feel like that represents their testimony and story so well.

Anna and Brandon, I wish you a lifetime of being set apart for God! Fully following where He calls. Falling more and more in love with the Creator each day with your best friend beside you!!

Thanks for letting me share in such a special day!

Only Jesus!

I have taken thousands upon thousands of pictures, but absolutely none of them are as beautiful or important as these

I cried for basically 2 hours straight as I captured people getting baptized today at church

Big tears rolled down my face as I watched my brother come out of the water new. Tears of joy flowed as my cousin got her spiritual birthday with her actual birthday. I sobbed as my sister came out of the water redeemed. Many people from all walks of life came out of the water with fresh life.

I’ve seen nothing as beautiful and Heaven rejoiced big!

If you’re reading this and thinking, “I’m too far gone,” “I’ve made too many mistakes,” “I’m not a good person”

I am here to tell you…
JESUS LOVES YOU!
There is redemption waiting for you
There is new life
There is freedom that is so sweet

Jesus can change your life if you let him. He's waiting with open arms, my friend! Running toward you!

I have so many moments from yesterday I want to share, but I kept staring at these ones. So these are what the world gets to see first!

I quite literally said "this is my favorite photo I've ever taken" after a few of these, but who am I kidding...I'm OBSESSED with them all. I mean...LOOK AT THEM 😍

Liz and Trenton planned one of the sweetest weddings I've had the honor of being a part of!

- The first touch with a tequila shot
- The pearl Trenton saved since elementary school to give his future wife that Liz wore yesterday
- for dinner
- Liz's dress 😍

And so so much more!

I can't wait to watch these two step into marriage! I cheering for you and am so thankful for you!

✨️Just delivered!✨️ And look what my bride sweet Bella said 🥺 I just can't!!

She also left this on Google, and I'm a PUDDLE, y'all...

"Lauren was our photographer for our Wedding and she is the absolute BEST!! Her kindness and care shows in her work and she made the day go so smoothly! She knew exactly how to pose us and get us pictures that we wanted and we are so happy with how they have turned out! I can not recommend her enough to anyone needing a photographer for any occasion :)"

Why hire LaurMar to capture your wedding?

Look, I get it.

This is a BIGGGG investment. It's thousands of dollars. And it's a big decision to pick someone you trust with such an important life milestone, whose personality you vibe with, and whose style you love.

That's why every single time I send out a contract or an inquiry pops into my inbox I'm so humbled and honored because I genuinely LOVE this job!

But why? Why should you invest in me??

To put it simply were different around these parts...

I genuinely care for each and every person who comes into my inbox! You are prayed over and I don't think it's a mistake that you found your way to me.

I care more about client experience and what YOU desire for your wedding day than making sure it's about being "insta perfect" (but man, can this app be fun!)

I am with you every step of the way while planning! I don't just take your money and dip for a while! I'm with you in it! From helping timeline plan, to answering all your questions, to sending emails packed with info, to my wedding guide. I put as much info in your hands while I walk right beside you.

I care about your memories! Not only do I shoot your wedding, but I spend HOURS meticulous editing, backing up, protecting you cherished moments so nothing happens to them even if you lose them years down the road.

I get photos into your hands within a week of your wedding! So you don't have to wait for the full gallery to re-live your wedding.

I send you gifts because gift giving is a love language of mine, and how can I not?!

Oh and all my wedding and elopement packages come with a complimentary engagement session!! Who doesn't want that?!

I care about you! And your investment in me! I would truly love to capture your wedding day! It would mean the WORLD to me!

30/05/2024

These cuties all graduate tonight! It was an honor to capture this milestone for them in their lives! Plus, I love them all to pieces! 🫶🏻

I hope you all dream big BIG dreams! That you chase them for all that your worth. Maybe it's traveling the world, maybe it's being a stay at home mama, maybe it going to college and getting your dream job...Whatever and wherever this life takes you, I hope you embrace it, chase it, and fall in love with this life you get to live!

And just know, my door is always open!

27/05/2024

The amount of love I have for these two is unmatched 🫶🏼

I met Emily and Tyler at another wedding I was shooting. When they reached out for me to shoot theirs, I squealed extra loud! Now, flash forward to yesterday, I SHOT THEIR WEDDING!!! And it was perfect! Absolutely perfect!

These two have a love like I haven't seen... It's fun and sweet. And yesterday was exactly those things! Fun and sweet (and a little sweaty 😂)

Mr and Mrs Sisler I am so happy for you guys!!! Thank you for letting me be part of your wedding day! Now should we plan Greece???

A couple of weeks ago, I drove to Philly and got the privilege to get Sam & Gus in front of my camera!! We explored one of the prettiest parks and captured such a precious season of life 💕

I'm always so thankful to capture special seasons. It's the biggest highlight of this job!

And big thanks to for sending your sweet friends my way!! I loved them just as much as I loved you!! Ps, please hire them for all your videographer needs so we can work together again 🥺

Bella + Vince’s story is one of true fate

You see, Vince's sister was getting married in York. Well, Bella went to college in York and had a friend also getting married there that same weekend! Luckily, both weddings picked the same hotel for their hotel blocks, and Bella and Vince met in the hotel lobby that night…

What happened in the hotel lobby is why w got to celebrate their wedding yesterday. And that is the sweetest thing I’ve ever witnessed!

I can't tell you how much I fell in love with Bella and Vince and their people. They were the sweetest and most welcome people! It's always an honor to be chosen to capture a wedding, but it's so so much sweeter to build the friendships and connections I did yesterday!

I'm so excited for the newest Mr and Mrs Krchnak to enter the adventure of marriage!!!

16/05/2024

- going to Wyoming, Italy, and Montana

It's going to be the absolute best!! I'm so excited you're all here for the ride!

The theme of my year so far has been to be obedient to where God leads

And in that obedience He’s been leading me to the most incredible places

Enter workshop!

This week, attending this workshop in New York has been the biggest blessing. The sweetest of gifts, actually.

I walked in, not knowing a single soul but left with 25+ new friends. A group of women who became the little photo community I’m realizing I’ve been longing.

As I’m sitting here trying to process everything I’ve learned and the magnitude of this week, I’m left with a full heart. But I’m also left with a renewed love of my business and a passion to make it the best version it can be!

Thank you honestly doesn’t seem like quite enough for and

The knowledge they pour out
The Jesus they show
The prayers they’ve prayed over us all
The community they create
They truly pour out so so much

And I’m just humbled that I got to be in the room! 🫶
