It’s mid October! Can you believe it?! I’m just trying to wrap my mind around the fact that I’m only 5 weddings away from the end of my busy wedding season! How did that happen?! I feel like it was just April and I was just getting started! Jameson and Lauren’s wedding day has seemed SO far off for such a long time, it was almost surreal to be shooting it!! Ever since their engagement session, I have been thinking about this wedding and all that Lauren was planning. She shared some ideas with me and I knew it was going to be beautiful but I had NO idea how AWESOME their theme would be!! Jameson and Lauren LOVE the water.
Jameson works on a boat and the sea is his life. Lauren shares this love for marine biology and everything about their wedding reflected that! Let me just give you some examples… Jameson’s wedding band has the coordinates of their ceremony location engraved in the outside of the band…their centerpieces included stacks of old National Geographic magazines, vintage globes and nautical pieces…. and their cupcake toppers? Little whales! CUTE!!! Jill and I were having a blast!! Jameson and Lauren’s shared interest not only made for an incredible wedding theme but it also makes them a perfect pair. Lauren’s sister toasted the happy couple and mentioned that she knew from the first time Lauren mentioned Jameson that he would end up being “the one”… and she was right!! It is so obvious that these two are best friends and as I photographed their wedding day, I was so thankful to be working with such an amazing couple once again.
Lauren and Jameson, what an incredible day!!! THANK YOU for allowing me to be a part of your celebration! I hope your honeymoon is amazing!! Enjoy some of my favorite moments from your wedding day!!
Lauren and Jameson’s wedding was held on private property of a friend’s and then their reception was held on Lauren’s dad’s property in Maryland. So beautiful!!
how cool is that ring?!! 
Beautiful lace garter!!

Ok, let me explain… this is Lauren’s pet Chinchilla!!! She’s had her for 5 years! I was freaking out… I’ve never even HEARD of Chinchillas before! So cute!
Stunning!
She made her own bouquet… no big deal.

Picnic time! Lauren had some food packed for them to eat together after the ceremony. They had a few minutes to just be together and I’m LOVING that idea!
May be my favorite!
