Last fall, Taylor of Alyson Taylor Events invited me along for a tour of one our favorite Richmond wedding venues! How lovely is this location? With the ability to dress it up or keep the space as is, this venue boasts rich history with modern appeal. I would love to have any type of event in […]

I just think these two are the sweetest. Ali said over and over again how she was nervous – I hear that and get excited [sorry, Ali!] because that means my clients will trust me to do my job! But honestly, it also means that their session will be amazing. Ali and Mike were so […]

As I scooped up all of Mallory’s details, I couldn’t help but notice how they perfect fit together. Her Jimmy Choos and Chanel and gorgeous lacy veil… they were made for each other. And that is how I feel about Mallory and Will. Made for each other. They are just the happiest of couples and […]

Lindsay and James got married in Richmond at the Bolling Haxall House in downtown Richmond a couple of weeks ago. Their’s was so special to me because I rarely get to photograph weddings in my own city, and it’s something that I LOVE. After their engagement session, I knew this wedding would be so much fun! […]

My assumption when people ask for my information in person is that they’re just being nice, but I most likely will not hear from them. So when I got a note from Grace and Charlie that they were looking for a photographer for their wedding, I was so excited! I met Grace where she works, a Family Center […]

Brian and Brenna had a dream wedding, I’m convinced. Although warm, they had perfect weather, ideal locations, and the best team of vendors Richmond has to offer. I was so honored to be a part of their day. It started at The Jefferson where Brenna dressed and shared some sweet moments with her family and […]

A few days prior to their shoot was the first time I’d been down to the canal walk. I’m so used to the canal in Georgetown having spent so much time there, but the two are totally different. RVA’s is industrial and more manicured. It’s just a different feel. However, the glowy light from the […]

I woke up Friday and it was raining. I checked the weather anticipating I’d have to make a call to postpone or cancel our shoot, but there was hope in the weather report, so I just leaned on hope a little harder. Kacie and Jake had emailed me a few weeks earlier – they were […]

When a bride has a request, no matter how crazy, I want to make it happen. It’s just my personality. I’m a little stubborn that way. So when Leslie casually mentioned that she would love to have her engagement session in the snow, I got a little worried. I’ve lived in Northern Virginia and mountain […]

WOW. It feels like we just got to Charlottesville. Oh wait. I did. A little over 5 months ago, Chad and I were unpacking from Winston Salem, eating Chinese on the floor of our new two bedroom apartment. As I sat just a few days ago in the car in front of Panera where Chad […]
