Hiiii! I’m Lauren Ward (soon to be Lauren Avant) and I’m the face behind the camera and the creative mind behind Moments By Thrive. I currently call Madisonville, Texas my home and I’ve lived in this small town my whole life! In my spare time I love shopping, tanning, and making custom trucker hats for one of my other businesses yolaurenco.
I’m a 2024 bride and I get to marry my High School Sweetheart VERY SOON. We started dating when I was 14 years old and he was just 16. I’ve always had a love for the wedding industry and during the planning stages of my wedding I came to the realization that I wanted to somehow continue in the world of weddings and events.
I graduated from Sam Houston State University in 2023 with a bachelor’s degree in general business with a minor in marketing. Following graduation I decided to open my own marketing agency. As the owner of a marketing agency, I have the privilege of being behind the camera, creating content and boosting businesses. Now, I get to bring this same creative energy to the wedding industry, combining my skills in marketing with my enthusiasm for weddings to make each event truly special.
