Blaine + Gabi Naval Academy Wedding

Oh friends, if you love joyful and colorful celebrations filled with thoughtfulness then this wedding is certainly for you!  Ever since their engagement session, I’ve been looking forward to Blaine and Gabi’s wedding day.  These two are just so sweet and they compliment each other so well.  She’s the calm force to his outgoing and whenever he’s around she is just simply filled with joy and peace.  They’re the perfect pair and it was such an honor to get to witness their first day of forever.

Maybe it was the way she whispered I love you in the chaos of a roudy dance floor, the way that they looked at each other as they said “I Do”, or the fact that her dress sparkled perfectly at sunset. Maybe it was the way they planned their details to make their guests, both present and away, feel welcomed and like one big happy family.  Maybe it was the joy they had as their Navy boys sang “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling” or the way the sun kissed her face as he carried her through the tall grass at sunset… In any case, this day was special and so full of joy! I’m so excited to share some of my favorite images from the day! Happy Tuesday, friends!

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.

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.
