Offbeat Bride | Golden Soul Love Shakedown photos from Lauren McGlynn Photography

This business has paid a fee to be listed on offbeatbride.com because they feel their wedding products and services are in-line with offbeat brides’ philosophies and needs … and I agree. Here's more info about how advertising works on offbeatbride.com.

Lauren McGlynn is a photographer based in Austin, TX and she friggen' rocks. She has this way of capturing little moments and making them look so epic. Take that engagement photo featured above — Epic, amaright?

Today I bring you more visual epicness from the wedding of the two pictured above and a special OBB discount from Lauren McGlynn Photography.

Starla and Thomas had one of the most heartwarmingly stunning weddings EVAR. Lauren tells me that they dubbed their wedding the "Golden Soul Love Shakedown." And wait till you see the rest of the rest of Lauren's incredible images from the Shakedown…

Just look at that amazing dress and tell me you don't want to have it for your very own. Also, I love how Lauren made a hotel room look so vibrant and beautiful. That, my friends, ain't easy.

"While the term 'photojournalism style wedding photography' is more in vogue at the moment, being a total photo geek I think there is a difference between photojournalism and documentary style. To me documentary photography means finding beauty in things or moments that would otherwise be considered banal."

-Lauren McGlynn

Even her photos in an elevator look HAWT!

The look on the groom's face just makes my stomach do a flippy-flop.

Offbeat Discount:
Lauren is offering a free "trash the dress" OR bridal portrait session to anyone who books her through OBB. Add one or the other free offer to any wedding package.

With Lauren's wedding packages starting at just $1200, I'd say that's one hell of deal. And it's one anyone can take advantage of because Lauren has no problems traveling!

So, as I see it you have two options now… Go to Lauren's blog to see the rest of the amazing photos from the Golden Soul Love Shakedown wedding or check out Lauren's website to see more of amazing portfolios. No matter which one you choose, it should definitely end in you booking her for your golden soul love shakedown.

I've been a fan of Lauren's photographs (and personality!) since before she got into the wedding game! She can see in-between moments for which few people have an eye. It's baffling to me! And she is an awesome woman, to boot!

The photo of everyone walking towards the camera with the sun at their back – and the horn and guitar on the left – that's a good capture.

That wedding dress is just amazing. I love my wedding dress (also a silk brocade) but that just blows mine out of the water. Jealous!

Wow! thanks, ya'll. It was such the perfect day and Lauren really captured the moment. I do just want to point out a couple of things.

1. My Grandma made my dress!

2. Lauren was an awesome photographer. She was natural about taking photos, people hardly noticed she was there! (which can be important). She is a creative photographer and has the ability to make you look good…really good. Plus, she totally was an off beat bride herself–so she loves taking photos of other OBBs! Working with her was a blast, she worked hard and didn't step on anybody's toes throughout the madness. Not to mention, the girl is a steal! Totally affordable for those who want high-quality photos but don't have a high-rolling budget.

The photos–well, they speak for themselves.

That is SUCH a beatuiful wedding. I especially love that last shot. The bride is so luminous, and she and the groom just… fit so well. I don't know how to explain it other than to say that they are a perfect fit. Absolutely gorgeous.
