On Saturday, I had the incredible honor of photographing Lauren & Jonathan’s Wedding at the United States Naval Academy Chapel with a reception at the Annapolis Marriott. When I first photographed these sweethearts downtown on the docks last month for their Nautical Engagement Session – I knew that their wedding was going to be incredible!
Lauren looked absolutely stunning in her wedding gown and we couldn’t have asked for more perfect weather! I absolutely loved getting the opportunity to photograph these two around the yard and stop at one of my favorite historic streets in downtown Annapolis with the trolley! It was such an incredible wedding and I was truly honored to be a part of this special day!
Congratulations Lauren & Jonathan!

Absolutely love the emotion you caught of each parent seeing their child for the first time as a bride and groom! So, so sweet!!
Oh this wedding was meant for you! Totally in your wheelhouse. Love the b&g portraits…just so classy. I think my favorite pic though is the b&w coming out of the church. Just such real raw emotion on their faces! Beautiful, clean, crisp photos!
These are all so beautiful! I love the shot with the airplane overhead and the color in the bridesmaid shots is amazing!
I can’t handle all this sweet emotion! Beautiful as always Natalie!
What a beautiful wedding! I love the father-daughter first look!!
Oh my goodness her daddy!! My heart! I love love love all of the Naval Academy portraits. Amazing!
These are some of the most beautiful wedding photos I have ever viewed. Absolutely stunning and breathtaking.
Did you just want to steal her getting ready dress? 🙂 These are stunning!
So pretty!
With a nautical couple’s session, I knew they would have to have a summery wedding in Annapolis! Such a beautiful set of images to remember their special day!
The way you see and capture moments is inspiring.
I love the little bride & groom crabs! So perfect for a Maryland wedding. You captured so many beautiful moments- I love the one of her and her dad before the ceremony. Just lovely!
