When I met Lauren and Mitch for the first time last year, I immediately adored them, but what really struck me about them was their connection – the interwoven ways in which they were connected without even knowing it. As they told me the story of how they came to be a couple, I couldn’t help but be amazed by how fated their meeting was, and, the more I heard and the more I got to know them, the more I saw how truly special their relationship is. There are certain people you meet that you just know are supposed to be together and Lauren and Mitch are that kind of pair. There is no way around it – they are perfect for one another and I can’t say what an absolute honor it was to document the start of their lives together as husband and wife at their lovely wedding at the W hotel in Midtown Manhattan.
Certain weddings radiate with emotion, and Lauren and Mitch’s was one such wedding that simply exuded happiness at every corner. One of my absolute favorite moments of their day was when they saw each other for the first time during their first look. I don’t think I’ve seen a pair so genuinely joyful to see one another. They literally just beamed and it made everyone around them smile. And that, my friends, is simply the affect that Lauren and Mitch have on you. Everytime I’m with them, my face ends up hurting from smiling so much.
Lauren and Mitch, may your lives together always be filled with as much love and joy as you bring to the lives of those around you! Thanks so much for allowing me to share in your special day! It was such a joy!

Maggie,
The photos are AMAZING!!! And after working with you on our E shoot, I’m not at all surprised. I can’t say enough fabulous things about your work! Every person that met you at the wedding said how sweet and professional you are–and your talent, well that speaks for itself!!! Mitch commented after the wedding that every time he wanted to take a picture with someone, it was like you were already there and shooting–you really covered it all and got all the right shots! We can’t wait to work with you again. I know that the next exciting milestone in our lives will certainly include your photos. We are so grateful that you were there to capture these special memories.
Thank you for everything,
Lauren + Mitch
