These two met at William and Mary, both involved in Greek life. As we walked around campus, we were just in awe at how pretty it is. It’s hard to take it in when you’re a student with all of the work and stress in the way! Ashley and Wyatt made me smile all session […]

Kara and Marc are getting in just a few weeks [ahh!] but we wanted to squeeze in an engagement session. It’s so comforting knowing that your photographer is more of a friend than someone you’ve never met. Because November is crazy this year – all my fault – I’ve been trying to find creative times […]

Before it actually became winter, I met Brittany and Greg at Mount Vernon for their engagement session! All three of us realized we hadn’t seen Mount Vernon up close in person since our schools took field trips here! But we had such a great time exploring like we were kids again. Oh, and we took a […]

I’m quite certain that every session should start at the beach and end with some local seafood under the stars. It was so much fun getting to spend time in Virginia Beach on the perfect fall day! Brett and Andelyn are two have free spirits and the world in front of them. They’ve been dating for a year now and […]

DJ came to NYC for a job interview, where Abbey was living at the time. He had received opera tickets, and as smooth as can be, he Facebook-messaged Abbey, “the cute girl who sang opera at the German Honor Society Induction in high school” to see if she’d like to go. Well, safe to say she […]

These college sweethearts decided to have their engagement session where they first met – University of Richmond! Nick and Nora met in a biology class. Nora was the first to talk to him, but Nick was the one who made some effort to make sure they sat at the same table so they could work […]

As we walked around Old Town Alexandria for their engagement session, we talked about Robbie and AJ’s engagement, how he proposed and how mom almost let the cat out of the bag! Retrospectively, most girls wish they had their nails done when they get engaged. There is no other time during your life where people want […]

These two are proof that you don’t know when the rest of your life will walk through the door. Kristen and William struck up conversation while they were out with their friends one night. Neither knew each other and they didn’t even have mutual friends, and now they’re getting married. I was so excited when […]

As a Virginia wedding photographer, I love photographing couples all over the state. However there’s nothing I love more than a beautiful couple by the sea. I’m excited to announce that I have a shoot coming up in the Hampton Roads area, and I’m currently looking for a real couple to model! I’ll be shooting in […]

Tim and Corinne invited me up to Brooklyn to photograph their engagement session, and I’m so glad we were able to make this trip work. NYC is such a vibrant city, so I love any chance I get to visit! I met them at the cutest little cookie shop before starting our shoot [which I went back […]
