I met Danny and Emily at Heritage, the foodie and cocktail lover’s dream of a restaurant nestled in the heart of Richmond. The couple is longtime friends with the owner, so we were able to sneak in before most of the patrons arrived for their engagement session! Oh how I love a couple with good taste […]

I recently traveled to the outskirts of Franklin, VA to Emma’s family farm for this couple’s engagement session. These two met at JMU in intervarsity, just like Chad and I, so I immediately connected with their story. After leading a mission trip together, the two decided to start dating. And finally, in the very place […]

Over the past couple of years, I have gotten to know Anna as a fellow photographer and now as a friend. One of my best friends. We’d been talking for over a year about vacationing together – even introduced our husbands to see if they got along – and we finally made it happen! We […]

On the first day of the year, Erica and Joe met me in downtown Fredericksburg for their wintery engagement session. You may remember when I photographed a small portion of my friend Jen’s wedding day! Well, Erica is her sister! We basically grew up together – many, many trips back and forth to the barn […]

I loved my time with Alyssa and Ben walking their old stomping grounds at William and Mary for their engagement session. It was the first really cold day we’ve had this fall – our hands had to be warmed up periodically… but I love when it’s on the cooler side because it allows my couples […]

This past Friday, I made my way toward Annapolis to meet Ali and John for their engagement session. John’s parents have a house right across from the bay. It was such a gorgeous location and I probably could have shot there for hours had the sun not been setting… These two are so much fun […]

I have to admit, I don’t remember much about 5th grade, but I do remember one of the sweetest and friendliest girls in the class was Emily! Thanks to Facebook, we’ve been able to keep up, and I’m so excited she is going to be a 2016 Alisandra Photo bride! I learned that Robby and […]

My assumption when people ask for my information in person is that they’re just being nice, but I most likely will not hear from them. So when I got a note from Grace and Charlie that they were looking for a photographer for their wedding, I was so excited! I met Grace where she works, a Family Center […]

I arrived at the Lincoln Memorial a few minutes early… a bit before sunrise. I had never seen so many runners, y’all! Apparently there was some local runner meet up happening. Once I cleared things up to make sure this would be ok for them to be photographed in front of all of these people, we […]

Cameron and Christophe were awesome enough to meet me before they went into work for their engagement session in the heart of Georgetown. Sunrise is really becoming my favorite time of day to shoot! For their session, we had a hazy sunrise, but as soon as that sun popped up, we got beautiful golden light! Cameron […]
