Here is the story of the wedding day of Lauren and Madison.
It’s one of the most precious and holy weddings we have shot to date, and one that we wanted to share the full story on my blog (not just the ‘pretty highlights’). Their love for each other is intimate and beautiful, and their wedding day was a celebration of covenant made before God and community. We were honored to capture the first day of a marriage that will surely change hundreds of lives.
This is what Lauren had to say about the portraits shoot of the day:
“Athena took the most incredible and breathtaking photos of Madison and I this past weekend. I am completely overwhelmed with how talented and gifted she is. God has truly given her a gift of creating moments that capture who people actually are with one another, nothing felt posed, but as if she was bringing to life the love that is already there. She creates an atmosphere of peace wherever she goes and she seriously lights up the space anywhere she is… I cannot say enough how grateful I feel to have her take photos of us. The day was literally a dream. I cannot believe it was real life. Thank you so so much, Athena. You are such a blessing to everyone who has the honor to know you.”
