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 […]

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’m always excited when my brides decide they want to do a bridal session. I think there is something awesome – in the truest sense of the word – about the tradition of bridal portraits. Arriving on your wedding day and having a portrait framed at cocktail hour or even just for mom to hang […]

What a treat it was to be shooting only 10 minutes from my house! Since moving to Williamsburg, I haven’t really had a change to move my market focus here! I treasure local Williamsburg weddings and am always jealous of people who are actually shooting where they live! What started with a blind date has […]

While shooting a wedding, I arrived at the groom’s house to find the florist’s assistant and the planner’s assistant getting frustrated. They had 7 boutonnieres, 14 pins, and neither of them knew how to pin one. I wear many, many hats on a wedding day and one answers the question, “So, does anyone know how […]

Just a few months ago, I was fanning out because I saw Chris Harrison in Richmond. But it left me with the question, “Why is Bachelorette in RVA?” But when I visit, I’m reminded how amazing that city is, and because of that, iconic Richmond weddings have become some of my favorites. It’s hard to beat the […]

I’ve been looking forward to this day since I got the inquiry for this Baltimore Harbor wedding. First of all, these two love their city and chose venues that were special to them and their family. Living only a few miles away, Caitlin and Ryan got ready at the new Sagamore Pendry – right on the […]

The first wedding of 2018 is in the books! And man, what a fun day it was at CrossKey’s Vineyard! I’m so excited to share this one with you. Christine and Michael couldn’t have asked for a better day for their beautiful wedding. Christine’s bridesmaids wore the prettiest shade of blue; she chose it to match the […]
