Nick & Claire Mt. Washington Dye House Wedding, Baltimore

You guys!!! I have been looking forward to Nick & Claire’s Mt Washington Mill Dye House wedding since I first met them.

From the first few minutes you spend with this sweet couple, you know they’re meant to be. They’re just so comfortable with one another.  Plus, you probably remember them from their adorable winter engagement session in Annapolis last year. That time it was 0 degrees out? Yeah, they’re serious champs!

Well for as much as I anticipated this day, it was even better than I could have imagined! With Adriana Marie Events at the helm, I knew the day wouldn’t just run smoothly, but that everything would be beyond beautiful, too! From the carefully planned paper suites by Kelsey Malie Calligraphy to the epic floral arrangements created by Blossom & Vine, nothing was out of place!

And the party that ensued… it only could have happened with District Remix running the show and making sure the guests had the best time!

Above all though, the best part of this day? It’s the one that Nick and Claire have been waiting for.  Beyond the pretty details, these two were just so joyous… smiles never left their faces.

From the beginning they decided that they would see each other for the first time when Claire made her way to the front of the aisle to meet Nick.  Both of them beaming beneath teary smiles, they finally had the moment they had been waiting so long for.  Eight years in the making, a story that started in their high school parking lot, according to Evelyn, the sweetest, wittiest maid of honor!

If you’d ask them, it was everything they hoped for! The only thing I think we were *all* a little sad about was when the day was over!

I’m so excited to give you a tiny peek (or not so tiny, let’s be honest) into an incredible day!

Nick & Claire, I can’t thank you enough for allowing me to be  part of your wedding day.  It’s been an absolute honor getting to serve y’all! I hope you treasure your photos, and when you look at them, they transport you back to this perfect day!

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.

"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.
