If I had to give my weddings a title, this one would be: The Tiny Dancer and the Piano Man. Casey and Ash met as performers on cruise ships – more about that in their engagement session blog post. They are so talented and smart and probably the most fun travel buddies. They planned a […]

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 […]

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 […]

I met Christie when I photographed her sister’s 4th of July wedding. 2 years later, almost to the day, on a different mountain in VA, Christie and Matthew said their vows and became husband and wife! King Family Vineyard was the perfect location for these two to hold a destination wedding. Their family and friends came from all […]

And after meeting their family and friends, I see where they get it. Just kind people, y’all! Their wedding day […]

As it comes closer to Halloween, we near a special anniversary – when Robbie and AJ first met! The two were out with mutual friends and realized they had been on the same kickball team for months but had never been at the same games! Fast forward, and here they were at Early Mountain Vineyard on […]

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 […]

This post is a day late, but it’s worth it! I love these two, and I was so excited to see them get married this past Saturday at Early Mountain Vineyard! I’ve enjoyed the past year – I got to photograph their engagement session and engagement party, but seeing them get married was the best! […]

This past Saturday, I spent the day at Keswick Hall in Charlottesville celebrating with Amy and Michael. What an honor it was to be a part of their wedding day! They planned a small ceremony with so much meaning behind everything, the bulk of the content being pulled from letters they’d written to each other. Amy is so authentic […]
