Hi, I'm Lauren! Welcome to my blog! I'm a Maryland wedding and portrait photographer that loves beautiful light and has an obsession with the water. This is my pretty little place to show off all of my most recent photography adventures and the stories behind them. So get comfy and have a look around!

Belmont Manor Wedding : Mary + Chad

belmont-manor-boho-summer-wedding-lauren-c-photography-99Mary and Chad’s Belmont Manor wedding was a dream come true of a dream I didn’t even know I had.  Once I saw Mary’s blue and gold wedding dress, all her bridal details, and the amazing florals with bright colors and herb accents, I couldn’t help but feel inspired and refreshed.  I’m officially calling this a boho mermaid wedding and I now need more of them in my life.  Brides out there, if you’re planning on wearing a non-traditional wedding gown, PLEASE book me to photograph your wedding!  🙂

Mary and Chad met back in high school and have formed a love that is so evidently deep rooted and complimentary.  It is obvious that they bring the best out in each other and are best friends.  My favorite moment of the day (other than first seeing Mary’s blue dress and realizing I got to photograph her gorgeous self in that dress all day!) was seeing the drastic change in Chad’s demeanor after the ceremony began.  Before the ceremony began, while standing up at the alter, I could see that Chad was nervous and his expression was serious.  But once he was able to have Mary there in front of him it was a complete 180.  He was smiling, laughing, truly enjoying every moment as he married this amazing girl.  I love how one person can immediately brighten another’s day and watching Chad change just like that was beautiful proof of how in love with Mary he is.

All of Mary’s bridal details were another favorite part of their wedding day for me.  She looked like a stunning mermaid in her blue and gold gown with her hair in long curls gathered with jewels in the center.  During the ceremony she wore a custom gold veil and barefoot sandals.  A gold chain cuff wrapped around one of her arms and boho inspired earrings completed her bridal look.  Linens of purple, orange, and pink brought a Moroccan feel to the reception tent while all their guests enjoyed a delicious vegan buffet and cupcakes.  Oh and their sweet pup got to join in for part of their day, which always melts my heart.

I truly can’t wait for you all to see just how gorgeous Mary was and how her and Chad melt so perfectly together for amazing portraits.  Congratulations, Mary and Chad, and thank you so much for sharing your incredible day with me!
