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. […]

I remember it vividly – sending my dad links to properties for sale in Charleston during my freshman year of college. My mom and I began vacationing there, and I fell in love with the sites, the food, the history, the architecture… Once I got married, mother-daughter trips were harder to come by, but I […]

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 […]

Kelsey and Andy are medical students who live in Richmond, they’d just been placed for residency when we shot their engagement session! It was an exciting day for so many reasons, and we had a blast! I love the chemistry between these two. It’s obvious that they share so many qualities – ambition and a […]

Another romantic sunrise session for y’all! Nestled into the hustle and bustle that is Northern Virginia, there is this sweet little town. It’s right on the river and kind of feels like a fairy tale. There are tons of mom and pop shops and restaurants that have been here forever, and at sunrise, it’s basically […]

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. She shared her dress, and asked for makeup and florist recommendations… Mia and James got married in Charlottesville Virginia at the UVA Chapel [complete with entertainment from the Hullabahoos], and it was quite […]

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 […]

Washington DC proper has some really fun locations for portraits besides the iconic monuments. You know I love sessions at the monuments… but even more, I love that Mia and James chose a location that meant so much to them. We shot at Meridian Hill Park, near where James lives in DC. These two have […]
