Alexandra reached out to me months ago regarding her husband’s upcoming deployment and her interest in capturing these current memories before he departed. I was absolutely going to make this work on my calendar! 🙂 Thank goodness his deployment was on time because we were able to make our schedules line up. I know that […]

A couple months ago, Kim from Kim Newton Weddings kindly introduced me to James and Natalie. Well, it was over the phone but we still hit it off. 🙂 Natalie and I connected so well because she is her own #bosslady. Not just that, but she is a wedding and portrait photographer based in California. I […]

It’s always an honor when I have a wedding planner refer my name to their brides, but when it is the wedding planner’s own brother then it is beyond flattering. 🙂 Courtney from A Sweet Soiree contacted me months ago seeing if I was available to document this exciting time of Chad’s life. Well, of […]

I knew coming into Saturday that it was going to be one big celebration. Once nighttime came, oh my friends, it was definitely one big celebration! I wanted to join in on that dance floor so bad! That’s how much fun it was! Old House Vineyards in Culpeper, Virginia was the perfect backdrop for their […]

30 minutes until the engagement session and it was POURING cats and dogs where I live. I’m only just down the road from the session location so at this point I was getting nervous if we had made the wrong decision to move forward and take the chance. Kelsa reassured me that it was fine […]

Jess and I met years ago through Piedmont Press & Graphics. I was in the design department and Jess was handling all sorts of jobs throughout the office. From our time there of getting to know each other, I could tell that she needed to be in the creative industry. Not only is she personable, […]

After photographing an incredible Saturday wedding, I was really pumped for Sunday! I was reminiscing Matt and Nicole’s engagement photos on the way to their wedding  and could not help but get excited! I remember falling in love with this couple from the start. They both attended and met through JMU (GO DUKES)! Matt and Nicole’s […]

James and Emily have been waiting for this day for literally YEARS. After a couple years of planning, the wait was finally over. They were blessed with sunshine and company from all over the country, including Alaska! I’ll admit that Saturday’s wedding was pretty hot, but James and Emily made it look like a piece of […]

Stephen and Kelly met me at the Manassas Battlefields in the wee hours in the morning last week. Already battling with the rush hour, we were fortunate to catch the sun rising just in time! I remember our first meeting together and how excited I was to photograph them. Now after photographing their engagement portraits, […]

It was probably the most ideal August day we could have prayed for. Sunny skies and temperature in the 80s. I only hope for this weather to continue for the rest of my August brides. 🙂 DJ and Bevin chose the gorgeous Oatlands Plantation in Leesburg, VA as their wedding venue. Such a classy space […]
