FAMILY SESSION (BRIGHTON, ENGLAND)

It's summer planning time in Lydia's world! Lots of amazing opportunities and adventures are on the horizon. I can't wait to share them with you. But looking ahead always causes me to look back for at least a second. Which is when I realized that I never posted this wonderful family session! I photographed this session on the beautiful Brighton coast right before Hannah's incredible wedding. <--(FYI, this is one of my favorite weddings of all time so if you haven't seen it yet pshh, what are you waiting for?)

These people are so very dear to me. It's a little nuts to realize I've only known them since Reuben & Ruth's wedding in London two years ago. They have treated me with real kindness and generosity and I'm very lucky to know them. And I don't care what stereotypes Americans give the Brits, these Brits know how to go a little crazy! I think I was laughing outloud the entirety of this family session.

Then...

...and now :)

One of my favorites from the evening

Hahah guys, don't kill me for posting this. It's one of my favorites. I miss you all.

MR. AND MRS. HARRINGTON (HOWARD COUNTY CONSERVANCY, MARYLAND)

Hello all! It's Monday and everybody hates a Monday so here's a wedding to brighten your day a bit. This wedding is especially cheerful and sweet. Occasionally I'll shoot a wedding and think "Wow, these two people are going to do something big in this world together" and this wedding was one of those. Will & Kate's wedding ceremony was royally rained out. The chairs were all set up in the garden when it rained some serious cats and dogs. But you would have thought Will & Kate didn't notice the way they didn't skip a happy, smily beat and rearranged their entire wedding day to bring the ceremony inside. If you aren't smiling along after looking through these photos then your Monday must have really sucked and I'm truly sorry haha.
