From the Bride to be:  It’s funny because Sam and I can’t really remember when we met. We have been friends since high school in Clinton, MS (Sam was 2 years younger than me). After college at Mississippi State, I moved out of state, but we would still see each other occasionally. When I moved home to Jackson, MS nearly ten years later, we started hanging out a lot since we were the only ones of our friend group that was single and in town. It took a year of spending time around each other before I think God opened both of our hearts to the idea that maybe we were meant to be more than just friends. When you realize that you can’t imagine life without a person, the way you start to think about them changes and it is  the most amazing and fun experience in the world. We knew we loved each other but I don’t think we realized how much that love would grow and bless both of our lives the way it has. So now, getting to marry the person that is truly your best friend in the entire world is just the icing on the cake for us! We can’t wait to spend the rest of our lives together.

Lauren and Sam, I loved photographing your sweet love story. You both are so full of love and happiness and I count it a privilege to be able to document the love that you share with one another. I can’t wait to capture your wedding day in December!
