John & Lauren: A Beautiful Southern Wedding at The Lodge at Little Creek

John and Lauren had such a gorgeous wedding sprinkled with lots of fun and sentimental details. One of the sweetest details to this wedding was the venue. Both Lauren and her mother told me at separate times that she grew up at The Lodge at Little Creek, where she was able to “roam wild and free”. What a wonderful transition it was for this to be the same venue where her wedding took place. Not to mention, that she and John are so in love and it just radiates from them (as is evident in the photos below). I hope you enjoy scrolling through the highlights of their day! Beautiful Southern Wedding at The Lodge at Little Creek_0001Beautiful Southern Wedding at The Lodge at Little Creek_0002
