Lauren + BB Wedding | Portsmouth, Va

D
o you remember seeing Lauren's Bridal Session!?! Then you remember me saying how she and I 'clicked' instantly -- it truly felt like we had been friends for years! She is SO kind and SO sweet and her 'now' hubby - BB, is the EXACT same way! In fact, EVERYONE at their wedding was absolutely incredible.. From the amazing vendors to the wedding party to the families. I was greeted with hug after hug - and y'all know I love hugs.. I felt just like family -- and when I feel like family... my heart is the happiest.  
 
BB and Lauren have the kindest relationship -- and honestly, it's really hard to explain. Sweet gestures like BB pulling out her chair... soft touches like Lauren reaching out for BB.. I mean I could truly write a book on how these two love each other. It was an absolute honor to be a part of their day.  
 
Meet Lauren + BB 
 
Warning.... this could have been even longerrrrr
