Behind the Scenes 2015 DC & Baltimore, Maryland Fine Art Photographer

Can you believe that we’re already halfway through December? With wedding season officially over for 2015, I am so excited to spend the next few weeks reflecting on the season and showing off some of my favorite parts!  Today’s post however is one of my favorites to share because it gives me an opportunity to share all the aspects of my job on a wedding day… I think you’ll agree that I wear quite a few different hats!  Enjoy a peek of what it looks like for me behind the scenes on a wedding day!  A big thank you to Nichole Meredith & Bekah Kay Creative for capturing these images!! Happy Tuesday, friends!

You can usually find me…

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.

Jersey Shore Engagement 

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.

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.
