If you’re a fan of wedding portraits, this is the post for you! Ben and Mary decided it would be a lot to drive back and forth into DC on their wedding day. Rather than adding more stress to their day, they made use of their engagement session time for a bride and groom portrait session! We […]

Ben and Mary know how to do things right. From their color heavy florals to planning bride and groom portraits on a separate day and then when she changes into her reception dress… this wedding had so many reasons to say, “take note, future couples!” But really, it was the MOMENTS that made me a super fan of […]

[The more appropriate title for this post is, “MY DREAM CAME TRUE!” But, casual, Ali… keep it casual.] Meet Nellie and Golar. These two are working in Oahu and just recently got engaged! This is pretty exciting for me because… Nellie is my cousin and that can only mean one thing… another Zangas family wedding! […]

This joyful girl. I’ve loved having Caroline in my life. About a year ago, we started helping out with youth group at our church and soon after, Caroline and Daniel moved to town and became a part of the group of students. I can’t imagine it without them! They bring a sweet realness and spirit of […]

Sometimes you meet a couple and you have so much in common, it makes you question… is there such thing as fate? At our first meeting, we connected over our love for the Virgin Islands and live music, and since then, I’ve been looking forward to this day. In fact, I’m actually sad that their […]

Watching my wedding clients become parents has to be one of the coolest things ever. Most of the time I see it happen on Facebook, and I get to comment with all the heart eye emoji’s. I’m so thankful when it works out for me to meet the little ones in person, though. Y’all recognize this […]

Morgan and Andrew are married! They said their vows at Morgan’s home church in Richmond, VA, and her incredible team of vendors transformed the youth center into a beautiful modern ceremony and reception venue for the evening. What an awesome day it was getting to see these two join their lives together! Morgan and Andrew are two […]

Andelyn and Brett have to be the most dynamic duo ever. Up for anything at any time, dancing through life to their own beat, and completely unashamed. All that, and they’re kind, welcoming, and you just want to be their friend. It’s what I love most about my couples – the spirit of hospitality. Andelyn and […]

Oh how I’ve been looking forward to this day! I’d been crossing my fingers for an inquiry to book for Big Spring Farm in Lexington, VA, but when Jane and I spoke on the phone for the first time, it was way more than the venue that had me so excited. Jane and Red’s love story […]

I first met Andelyn when I was photographing her sister’s wedding. Jordan, who is now one of my best friends, has always kept me filled in on her family – and so I feel like I know Andelyn better than I actually do. But I’m just still pretending we’re besties because she’s so stinking cool. And […]
