On a lovely spring day, Mitch and Amanda stood before friends and family to tie the knot.  With the fresh breeze from the Chesapeake Bay sweeping across their ceremony, it was the perfect way for the two to become husband and wife… by the sea!  It’s where they found love and now where they’ve publicly declared it.  Mitch and Amanda have this way about them… when they’re together they forget about everyone else!  This celebration was absolutely wonderful and I am so honored that my friend Krista asked me to help her capture their big day!  Enjoy a few 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 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.
