Brent + Emily The William Paca House

As I was thinking about how to start this post for these two, there was a single moment from their day that came back to me.  Right after the cake smash, Brent so gently and so sweetly began to help wipe the remnants of icing from Emily’s face.  To me, that is the perfect picture of service and it was an incredibly sweet way to start their marriage.  Brent and Emily are Naval Academy graduates and are absolute sweethearts.  They love each other so well and they clearly love the people around them well, too.  There are literally so many things that I could write about them, because I just adore them, but instead, I think you’ll be able to tell from the photos what a perfect day it was for Brent and Emily.  Brent and Emily, it was an incredible honor to get to capture and partake in your special day!  I hope you two are enjoying your time as husband and wife in St. Lucia and that you love this photos as much as I do! Xo!

Wife, mama, wielder of light & joy, and capturer of moments.  I thrive off of conversation and genuine connection.  In between wrangling our kiddos, and hanging my husband, you'll find me dreaming up my next idea or creative endeavour.  It's these things that culminate to give my imagery a warmth and joy to them - the greatest compliment I could receive.

I'M LAUREN

Lauren grew up spending her summers at the shore, and when she and Nick got together, she couldn't help but introduce him, too!  Their session in New Jersey was filled with gorgeous light, sweet smiles, and so much love & laughter.

Connor and Alli's wedding celebration was full of lush florals, gorgeous details, and a whole lot of joy.  Their first look was one of the most sacred moments I've witness on a wedding day... filled with so much delight and love!

One of my greatest inspirations comes from exploring and the California coast fulfills that wanderlust like nothing else.  Anytime I have rolling hills and oceanside views, I'm in heaven.

"Lauren made everything fun and flexible."

Nate & sofi, baltimore Maryland

She's the ultimate hypewoman. I was pretty nervous about being photographed and Lauren made everything fun and flexible. Honestly, I can't imagine the day without her and her team. They were wonderful and hearing from Lauren was always a genuine delight.
