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!

Mylynh + Randy : Old Town Alexandria / Mount Vernon Engagement {Virginia Portrait Photographer}

Where do I even begin on this one?  I guess I would have to go back to 6th grade because that’s when I first met and became friends with Mylynh.  There are some people in your life that, even if you don’t stay in touch with them for years, you know they will always be there to pick things right back up and forever call you their friend.  Mylynh is one of those people in my life.  I adore this girl.  She is truly one of the sweetest and most kind-hearted people on the face of the earth and I am so incredibly lucky to have met her and known her for so long.  When she emailed me a little while ago telling me she got engaged I was over the moon happy for her.  I had no idea she had a special guy in her life (again….years without catching up and she has kind of fallen off of Facebook, which is what I look at to pretend I still know what’s going on with people that I never see) so I was so happily surprised.  Randy is one lucky guy and, while I don’t know him very well seeing as how their engagement session was the first time I had ever met him, I know that he must be one incredible guy to have won the heart of Mylynh.  Mylynh told me that, ever since she saw I started doing wedding photography, she fell in love with my photos and hoped that whenever she found her man she would be able to have me take their pictures.  Wish come true, Mylynh!!  Yay!

Mylynh and Randy, I couldn’t have been happier to do this for you guys and, from the bottom of my heart, I wish you all the love and happiness in the world!!  And thank you again for brunch!!  I’m still thinking about that andouille sausage and crab dip!  😉     After wandering around Old Town Alexandria and having Mylynh and Randy show me some awesome spots, we headed to Mount Vernon.  Under that huge tree you’ll see in a few photos down is where Randy proposed  🙂
