It’s no secret that I love bridal portrait sessions prior to the wedding day. This extra session allows a bride the opportunity to prepare for her wedding day with a private session devoted to her. Bridal portraits do not always happen at golden hour on the wedding day and usually occur much earlier in the […]

When Colleen first contacted me about a senior session many months ago, it was fun to share my recommendations of locations for their the three graduates in her family. When Kaylee chose Swannanoa, I was pretty excited. Any Charlottesville photographer would be thrilled to photograph at this unique location with such a full history. Swannanoa […]

Emily and Robert’s first date began with laying on a field in the middle of their college campus, starring at the stars together. They went on to begin a relationship that often involved distance between them due to schooling and naval training. So here they are a few years later, finally closing the gap on […]

My first conversation with Jordan and Jackson was over the phone while they were studying abroad this summer in Europe. It was a fun way to “meet” them, but what was even better was meeting them in person for the first time at Shadow Creek. A couple fun facts about meeting them in person: 1. […]

Annie and Chris’ engagement session comes with two sessions and two seasons! They take place at dusk this past Fall on Skyline Drive as well as in the morning sunlight this July in Culpeper, an hour east of Charlottesville.

Bridal portraits do not always happen at golden hour on the wedding day. In fact they usually occur much earlier in the […]

Lauren and Justin have been planning their wedding from a distance this past year. Not being close to Rixey Manor makes that a challenging feat at times. But through it all, their vision for the day remained true and they came together with family and friends on a perfect day with absolutely perfect weather! Any […]

Jenn and Avery’s wedding day at The River View at Occoquan came with much anticipation for this Virginia wedding photographer! I first met Jenn when she was a bridesmaid in her friend Mollie’s wedding in the Fall of 2017. That was by far one of the most energetic, helpful and fantastic group of bridesmaids I’ve […]

Eric proposed to Lauren at a winery after the perfect planning and enlisting some help from his friends. So it makes perfect sense that they tied the knot on a perfect day in May at Mountain Run Winery in the same hometown where they both first met. I first spent significant time with Lauren and […]

Sarah and Ramzi tied the knot at Walden Hall on an absolutely gorgeous day in May. For all the threats of rain, we only had some sprinkles once everyone was tucked safely inside for the reception. The entire day was beautiful from start to finish, and it was a joy to capture for this Virginia […]
