I first met these two back in December when Shaq reached out to me about proposing to his girl!  He planned to pop the question to Kiara during a Christmas mini session. It was the perfect excuse to get her all dressed up and ready without her second guessing anything! It was perfect and the proposal went off perfectly! (click here to see it!) Fast forward a bit, she said yes and they decided to elope last weekend!! We met up at Lafayette Square Park for bridal portraits the day after they eloped and it was the best time!!

This was the day that winter decided to show up here in Missouri because it was only 11 degrees out during their session! Holy moly it was cold and these two didn’t even bat an eye. They were willing to do anything and everything to get some amazing photos! Walking around Lafayette Square laughing with these two was such a blast. The love these two have for each other is so evident and they are so kind hearted!

Kiara & Shaq, I am so incredibly happy for you both! Thank you so much for choosing me to photograph some of the most important days of your life!

Love,

Lauren
