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!

Darci and James : Fall Patapsco Valley State Park Engagement

Patapsco Valley State Park Engagement Darci James-48I’m sure I’ve said it before, but it’s worth repeating…..when a couple books you because they were at a wedding you photographed in the past and ended up loving the photos, it is one of the biggest compliments you can get as a photographer.  It lets you know you’re doing something right.  James and Darci attended the wedding of a childhood friend of mine and I couldn’t be more honored to now get to have them in front of my camera.  They’re a fun, laid-back couple and, if you know me at all, you know that’s just my type!  🙂
I loved getting to wander around a small part of the huge Patapsco Valley State Park with them this past Fall.  I had never been but have always seen photos from other sessions so I was excited to finally have my shot at it.  We crossed streams……..well ok Darci and James crossed streams while I got to be lazy and stay on the other side…….upset a grumpy lady on the suspension bridge because I asked her for just 2 minutes and then she could cross, talked about ghosts and murders, and hiked a little ways to a gorgeous spot with a waterfall and an overlook of some of the most colorful trees.  Success!!!
I can’t wait for these two to get married next year along the shores of the Bay at the Beach Club.  I don’t think it’s haunted there but I’m sure we can make something up haha!!  😉Patapsco Valley State Park Engagement Darci James-2Patapsco Valley State Park Engagement Darci James-4Patapsco Valley State Park Engagement Darci James-6Patapsco Valley State Park Engagement Darci James-7Patapsco Valley State Park Engagement Darci James-13Patapsco Valley State Park Engagement Darci James-11Patapsco Valley State Park Engagement Darci James-14Patapsco Valley State Park Engagement Darci James-16Patapsco Valley State Park Engagement Darci James-17Patapsco Valley State Park Engagement Darci James-19Patapsco Valley State Park Engagement Darci James-22Patapsco Valley State Park Engagement Darci James-23Patapsco Valley State Park Engagement Darci James-24Patapsco Valley State Park Engagement Darci James-27Patapsco Valley State Park Engagement Darci James-28Patapsco Valley State Park Engagement Darci James-29Patapsco Valley State Park Engagement Darci James-30Patapsco Valley State Park Engagement Darci James-31Patapsco Valley State Park Engagement Darci James-32Patapsco Valley State Park Engagement Darci James-36Patapsco Valley State Park Engagement Darci James-37Patapsco Valley State Park Engagement Darci James-38Patapsco Valley State Park Engagement Darci James-39Patapsco Valley State Park Engagement Darci James-40Patapsco Valley State Park Engagement Darci James-41Patapsco Valley State Park Engagement Darci James-42Patapsco Valley State Park Engagement Darci James-45Patapsco Valley State Park Engagement Darci James-46Patapsco Valley State Park Engagement Darci James-47Patapsco Valley State Park Engagement Darci James-48Patapsco Valley State Park Engagement Darci James-49Patapsco Valley State Park Engagement Darci James-51Patapsco Valley State Park Engagement Darci James-53Patapsco Valley State Park Engagement Darci James-54Patapsco Valley State Park Engagement Darci James-55Patapsco Valley State Park Engagement Darci James-56
