The little girl who insisted on going barefoot in Michigan winters and the youngest little brother who has was ready to party found each other and married a few weekends ago in Old Town Alexandria. Mackenzie and Brendan’s wedding day was one of my favorites this year. Mackenzie’s backless dress made me want to be […]

Completely overwhelmed with gratitude and heart eyes due to this amazing wedding… how do I even begin? When Emily Weddings connected me with this couple, I was so excited. We met in Norfolk for their engagement session and I knew their wedding day would be spectacular. We started at the best room in the Hilton […]

A historic farm house right on the South River in Maryland, gardens overflowing with summer blooms, and a water loving couple with coastal style… my July wedding did NOT disappoint! The only thing missing? Their little dog, Beaker. Although it was hot, Alex and Luke had a beautiful day for a wedding on the water. […]

My heart exploded with happiness on this couple’s wedding day. Not only for these two and their future, but because they couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful day in Lebanon, Virginia to get married. They got married at Elizabeth’s newly-renovated childhood home and it was a dream. With a double-wide stone wraparound porch decorated […]

Every year, I have weddings that fill my heart with propelling joy. They make me say, “YES! This is why I do this!” and give me such good energy that lasts all season. And Andy and Kelsey’s Richmond, VA wedding at the Armour House was one of them. When they told me they were keeping […]

From the moment Mia inquired, I knew we’d work so well together. She and I became email buddies through her planning process.

Every once in a while, I have a couple who does something outside of the norm when it comes to their wedding day. This year, it seems like I have more of those than usual, and I’m loving it! Ally and Nate had an intimate wedding at the always-lovely Old Metropolitan Hall in Charlottesville on […]

Lee and Tracy knew each other for so long before they officially started dating, but once it happened, everyone knew they were perfect for each other. Lee is so social and friends with everyone, and Tracy is loyal and such a strong woman – and SO beautiful! One of the most unique things about their […]

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 […]
