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!

Chesapeake Beach Southern Maryland Wedding : Katie + Johnny

chesapeake-beach-southern-maryland-wedding-katie-johnny-67There’s always something extra special about weddings between two people that already have children together and are bringing that family together “officially” (though obviously they’re already a family).  It just seems like there’s even more love and happiness to go around.  It’s not just a marriage between a bride and groom, it’s a marriage between a mom and dad, and that deserves a celebration.  So that’s exactly what Katie and Johnny did, along with their three kiddos!  Their Chesapeake Beach Southern Maryland wedding was a laid-back, fun, tear-filled, smile-filled, awesome celebration.

I started the day out with Katie at a beautiful rental home overlooking the Chesapeake Bay where I got to see her amazing bridal Converse sneakers, take pictures of her daughter spinning in her adorable dress, and save a skink from being smashed by a sliding glass door.  Afterwards, we all headed to the church where Johnny, in his Jordans, held back some tears as Katie walked towards him to exchange their vows.  It was then off to the boardwalk in “downtown” Chesapeake Beach for bride and groom portraits where I finally got to photograph the two pairs of shoes together  😉  After walking the boardwalk and finding a beautiful little spot with flowers and glowing light, we headed to the fire hall where Katie and Johnny were introduced into the ballroom filled with their anxious and excited guests.  The food from Adam’s Grille was absolutely delicious, specialty drinks were poured, and the new husband and wife enjoyed the rest of the night with those they love the most!

Katie and Johnny, thank you so much for welcoming me into your wedding day!  I wish you and your family so much happiness!chesapeake-beach-southern-maryland-wedding-katie-johnny-2chesapeake-beach-southern-maryland-wedding-katie-johnny-4chesapeake-beach-southern-maryland-wedding-katie-johnny-7chesapeake-beach-southern-maryland-wedding-katie-johnny-6chesapeake-beach-southern-maryland-wedding-katie-johnny-8chesapeake-beach-southern-maryland-wedding-katie-johnny-3chesapeake-beach-southern-maryland-wedding-katie-johnny-16chesapeake-beach-southern-maryland-wedding-katie-johnny-18chesapeake-beach-southern-maryland-wedding-katie-johnny-19chesapeake-beach-southern-maryland-wedding-katie-johnny-20chesapeake-beach-southern-maryland-wedding-katie-johnny-21chesapeake-beach-southern-maryland-wedding-katie-johnny-23chesapeake-beach-southern-maryland-wedding-katie-johnny-29chesapeake-beach-southern-maryland-wedding-katie-johnny-34chesapeake-beach-southern-maryland-wedding-katie-johnny-37chesapeake-beach-southern-maryland-wedding-katie-johnny-38chesapeake-beach-southern-maryland-wedding-katie-johnny-42Johnny and his two boys all wore Jordans  🙂chesapeake-beach-southern-maryland-wedding-katie-johnny-44chesapeake-beach-southern-maryland-wedding-katie-johnny-35chesapeake-beach-southern-maryland-wedding-katie-johnny-46Katie’s son walked her down the aisle, which I thought was so sweet.chesapeake-beach-southern-maryland-wedding-katie-johnny-47chesapeake-beach-southern-maryland-wedding-katie-johnny-48chesapeake-beach-southern-maryland-wedding-katie-johnny-50chesapeake-beach-southern-maryland-wedding-katie-johnny-51chesapeake-beach-southern-maryland-wedding-katie-johnny-53chesapeake-beach-southern-maryland-wedding-katie-johnny-55chesapeake-beach-southern-maryland-wedding-katie-johnny-57chesapeake-beach-southern-maryland-wedding-katie-johnny-61chesapeake-beach-southern-maryland-wedding-katie-johnny-62chesapeake-beach-southern-maryland-wedding-katie-johnny-63chesapeake-beach-southern-maryland-wedding-katie-johnny-65chesapeake-beach-southern-maryland-wedding-katie-johnny-66chesapeake-beach-southern-maryland-wedding-katie-johnny-68chesapeake-beach-southern-maryland-wedding-katie-johnny-72chesapeake-beach-southern-maryland-wedding-katie-johnny-74chesapeake-beach-southern-maryland-wedding-katie-johnny-76chesapeake-beach-southern-maryland-wedding-katie-johnny-77chesapeake-beach-southern-maryland-wedding-katie-johnny-79chesapeake-beach-southern-maryland-wedding-katie-johnny-81chesapeake-beach-southern-maryland-wedding-katie-johnny-83chesapeake-beach-southern-maryland-wedding-katie-johnny-85chesapeake-beach-southern-maryland-wedding-katie-johnny-88chesapeake-beach-southern-maryland-wedding-katie-johnny-91chesapeake-beach-southern-maryland-wedding-katie-johnny-92chesapeake-beach-southern-maryland-wedding-katie-johnny-94chesapeake-beach-southern-maryland-wedding-katie-johnny-95chesapeake-beach-southern-maryland-wedding-katie-johnny-97chesapeake-beach-southern-maryland-wedding-katie-johnny-100chesapeake-beach-southern-maryland-wedding-katie-johnny-102chesapeake-beach-southern-maryland-wedding-katie-johnny-103chesapeake-beach-southern-maryland-wedding-katie-johnny-105chesapeake-beach-southern-maryland-wedding-katie-johnny-106chesapeake-beach-southern-maryland-wedding-katie-johnny-113chesapeake-beach-southern-maryland-wedding-katie-johnny-115chesapeake-beach-southern-maryland-wedding-katie-johnny-134chesapeake-beach-southern-maryland-wedding-katie-johnny-116chesapeake-beach-southern-maryland-wedding-katie-johnny-128chesapeake-beach-southern-maryland-wedding-katie-johnny-117chesapeake-beach-southern-maryland-wedding-katie-johnny-129chesapeake-beach-southern-maryland-wedding-katie-johnny-109chesapeake-beach-southern-maryland-wedding-katie-johnny-112chesapeake-beach-southern-maryland-wedding-katie-johnny-145chesapeake-beach-southern-maryland-wedding-katie-johnny-137chesapeake-beach-southern-maryland-wedding-katie-johnny-140chesapeake-beach-southern-maryland-wedding-katie-johnny-150chesapeake-beach-southern-maryland-wedding-katie-johnny-121chesapeake-beach-southern-maryland-wedding-katie-johnny-122chesapeake-beach-southern-maryland-wedding-katie-johnny-126
