I love engagement sessions at Meadowlark Botanical Gardens. So when Annie suggested it, I was pretty excited to meet them there. And these two did not disappoint. What a wonderful couple! I had the absolute best time with Annie andTony and I’m so thrilled to share their gorgeous session! And of course, I’m so happy […]

Trisha and Dan met up with me at Meadowlark Botanical Gardens for their July engagement session. Their Airlie wedding is in September of this year so it was great to finally meet them in person! I have really enjoyed getting to connect with Trisha and Dan and learn so much more about them…including the fact […]

Shellie and Brian are planning a wonderful wedding at the Great Marsh Estate next year. I’m so thrilled to be working with them! It was so sweet to meet them at their Meadowlark Botanical Gardens engagement session for the first time. I liked them so much from the start! They are practical yet fun, smart […]

Meadowlark Botanical Gardens is one of my favorite places in Northern Virginia…especially for photographing engagement sessions.  It can be tricky though because they require you to finish photographing an hour before closing. This means that most of the year you have to stop photographing right before that magical golden hour.  But in August, right before […]

The end of June simply calls for a garden wedding. However, I’m not quite sure Natrisha and Damon were prepared for the intense heat and humidity that June 30th boasted.  The sun was intense and the heat was no joke. But Meadowlark Botanical Gardens was a lush landscape of pure plant perfection! And these two […]

After seeing each other earlier in the evening, Kristen and Alex literally met by bumping into each other on the street! Since then, it’s been a sweet journey to engagement. When I met with Kristen, it was so sweet to hear her speak of how cute and wonderful her fiance is and how she fell […]

Annie and Tony were just about the most delightful couple to serve from their Meadowlark engagement session to their wedding day! I’m going to jump right into sharing what Tony’s brother, Paco, shared in his reception toast…(not verbatim). “Paco, I think she is the one!!! When we are together, we are like a power couple!” […]

Sometimes I’m asked where do I photograph the most or what venues do I usually photograph most weddings and engagement sessions. I photograph in many places each year so I thought I’d share the venues where I’ve photographed in 2021. My yearly recap of what venues I’ve been to while serving my couples this year […]

What a complete joy it was to finally meet baby Caden!! I first photographed his parents for their Meadowlark Botanical Gardens engagement session four years ago, then on their Airlie wedding day three years ago and then again for a styled Great Marsh session. And every time it has been a wonderful experience. This time […]

The Northern Virginia area is the perfect blend of luxury combined with all the charm of the Virginia wine country. The area has no shortage of wedding venues and it’s a Virginia film photographer and hybrid photographer’s dream. […]
