Virginia Beach portrait and lifestyle photographer specializing in comfortable portraits and candids
NO RULES. That was the only rule for the day. If I could photograph weddings like this one every weekend, I’d do it. They had their priorities in the right spot from the beginning. Fun. Relaxed. Good Food [Donnie is a Chef, so that’s assumed!]. Laughter. Dancing. Ahh! From the beginning, this wedding was going […]

Everyone needs someone like Corinne and Tim in their lives. These two are some of the most positive, welcoming, and encouraging people I’ve had the privilege of working with since I’ve been a wedding photographer. And after meeting their family and friends, I see where they get it. Just kind people, y’all! Their wedding day […]

This gorgeous couple got married in Charlottesville at the Clifton Inn and they had one of the prettiest days of the year! After photographing Kristen’s brother’s wedding a couple years ago, being with their family again made this day extra special for me. One of my favorite things about the day was the magical venue – around any corner was […]

What a pleasure it was to be able to photograph Emily’s King Family Vineyard wedding a few weeks ago! I knew they were planning a rustic chic wedding, but had no idea how awesome her style would be! Check out those Kate Spade keds and those amazing invitations! Ahh! I’m so excited to get to […]

The rainy day weather held off until right after their portraits finished so we ushered in the washout, […]

The door to the carriage house was open, allowing sunlight and sweet spring air to pour in while the soft melodies of hymns poured out. Laura and her girls were getting ready in a cloud of hairspray and excitement. I imagine that when Laura and Justin chose an April date, they were just praying it […]

Katie and Brian said their vows this past weekend at Castle Hill Cider right outside of Charlottesville, Virginia. It is my favorite place to shoot because the mountains, the farmland, and the small town southern feel all mesh together so cohesively. Katie, as reiterated by her maid of honor, has the gift of encouragement. She […]

When we spoke on the phone for the very first time, Meghan emphasized one thing: her desire to spend time with her guests. Most photographers really value and push for a long portrait time. Personally, I try to push for what you want. [Knowing a few portraits are necessary, of course!] After all, it is […]

This is not your typical blog post. But then again, this was not your typical wedding. Anne and Nick just wanted photos of the most important parts of their wedding. To them, the ceremony, the actual binding of hearts, was the most important part, along with portrait time. So I arrived in time to snap […]

“I just got nervous!” Brittany said as I walked into the room, “It just got real!” Of course I hate making people nervous, but I love that I represented the gravity and excitement for the day as I walked in with my camera. She took a few deep breaths, and I imagined her picturing herself at […]
