Salamander Resort and Spa has been a favorite place for Kara and Marc since their relationship began. They spent a lot of time here as they were getting to know each other, Marc then proposed here, and now they’ve gotten married here! It’s a special place for me as I’m such a “horse girl” – it […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Ever since I was a young girl, I’d been hearing about The Salamander Resort and Spa. As an equestrian, I was really eager to see this place – the owner’s daughter competed at a lot of the horse shows I participated in… but fast forward to Saturday, I finally was able to visit and photograph […]

Although surprisingly uncommon, Nicole and Andrew asked if they could do a sort of “day after” session once everything settled down from their wedding! With a huge wedding in Northern VA and rain all day, I’m so glad they opted for this. They took their afternoon to shoot at two of my favorite locations in RVA! […]

Weddings in Richmond, VA are some of my favorites! Not only because I get to visit friends, but because it’s close to our new home, too! Austin and Emma got married on the hottest weekend of the year, but I don’t think it mattered to these two. In fact it may have been reminiscent of the first […]

By now, Alyssa and Ben are settling into their new California home, but this past Saturday, they were enjoying one of Virginia’s unpredictable summer rain showers at their wedding. After seamlessly rearranging the timeline by adding a first look and moving the ceremony under cover, the two joyfully shared their vows and celebrated the start […]
