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!

Stephanie and Evan’s Annapolis Engagement Session

Annapolis Stephanie and Evan Engagement-31A couple weekends ago I met up in Annapolis, Maryland with Stephanie and Evan for their engagement session.  It was one of the first REALLY nice weekend days this year and I had no idea the masses of people that would come out.  It was ridiculous.  Luckily, they’re a super laid-back couple and laughed along with me when tourists would ruin a shot or seemed to be oblivious to the fact that “hey, we’re trying to take a picture here!”  (I’m talking to you, old couple that ended our time down by the water with the perfect setting sun behind us!)  😉  They were also extremely cute with how nervous they were.  We worked through the nerves and now they’re going to be total experts on their wedding day!  But seriously, I had a great time wandering around to little side spots with them, their dog Harper, and Stephanie’s Dad, who came to serve as dog wrangler/entertainer (thanks, Dad!).  Downtown Annapolis is absolutely gorgeous and you can find spots for photos on every street you turn down.  Colorful houses, flower lined sidewalks, murals…..Annapolis has it all.  There are also some pretty nice waterfront views….you know….if you’re into that sort of thing.  😉
I cannot wait for their October wedding at The Steppingstone Museum in Havre De Grace.  A gorgeous venue.  An awesome and photogenic couple.  One of the best wedding planners around, Elle Ellinghaus Designs.  And Evan is a chef so you know that the food is going to be amazing.  Yep, it’s going to be one killer wedding.  I’m so excited!!Annapolis Stephanie and Evan Engagement-1Annapolis Stephanie and Evan Engagement-3Meet Harper  🙂Annapolis Stephanie and Evan Engagement-4Popping a bottle of champagne at City Dock.  Whatever.  No big deal.  Annapolis Stephanie and Evan Engagement-7Annapolis Stephanie and Evan Engagement-8Annapolis Stephanie and Evan Engagement-10If you look there by Evan’s watch you’ll see a tattoo.  And yes, it’s what you think it is.  I’m pretty sure that’s an avocado.  He has a full sleeve of all these different fruits and vegetables (I told you he’s a chef…..just in case you’re confused).  It is so cool!!  Maybe it can make an appearance in the wedding photos.  Hint, hint Evan  😉  Annapolis Stephanie and Evan Engagement-13Annapolis Stephanie and Evan Engagement-16Annapolis Stephanie and Evan Engagement-18Annapolis Stephanie and Evan Engagement-19Annapolis Stephanie and Evan Engagement-20Annapolis Stephanie and Evan Engagement-21Annapolis Stephanie and Evan Engagement-22Annapolis Stephanie and Evan Engagement-24Annapolis Stephanie and Evan Engagement-27Annapolis Stephanie and Evan Engagement-28Annapolis Stephanie and Evan Engagement-29Annapolis Stephanie and Evan Engagement-26Annapolis Stephanie and Evan Engagement-31Haha!  The twirl into the dip didn’t go so hot.  Annapolis Stephanie and Evan Engagement-32Annapolis Stephanie and Evan Engagement-39Annapolis Stephanie and Evan Engagement-41Annapolis Stephanie and Evan Engagement-42Annapolis Stephanie and Evan Engagement-44Annapolis Stephanie and Evan Engagement-46Annapolis Stephanie and Evan Engagement-47Annapolis Stephanie and Evan Engagement-49Annapolis Stephanie and Evan Engagement-50Annapolis Stephanie and Evan Engagement-51Annapolis Stephanie and Evan Engagement-52Annapolis Stephanie and Evan Engagement-53Annapolis Stephanie and Evan Engagement-54Annapolis Stephanie and Evan Engagement-57Annapolis Stephanie and Evan Engagement-58Annapolis Stephanie and Evan Engagement-59Annapolis Stephanie and Evan Engagement-60
