Sometimes you meet people and you just instantly love them. That was definitely the case for me when I first met Lauren and Luke in 2018! I’m so happy that they were able to say their vows with their close families, despite everything that happened/is still happening this year. Take a peek at how these two pivoted from their large wedding plans to this beautiful & intimate backyard elopement-styled ceremony!
