Andrew + Gwendolyn Eastern Shore Wedding

From the first time we spoke on the phone, I’ve been looking forward to Andrew and Gwendolyn’s wedding day.  When she would talk about their life together, I could almost hear her smile through the phone.  And when we finally met at their engagement session, I came to adore these two even more.  Their love is something that’s cozy and joyful.  They care so well for each other and for the people around them!

I knew from the start that their wedding day was going to beautiful! Their venue was the home that Andrew grew up in and it was the perfect backdrop for their day: an relaxed yet formal affair.  This riverside gathering to celebrate their marriage was nothing short of perfection, especially with Kari and her team designing the event!  I can’t say enough how honored I was to be a part of such a special day! Thank you A + G for welcoming us into your first day of forever! Congratulations, again! Enjoy a few (too many!) of my favorites!

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

THE JOURNAL

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.

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.
