Pamela and Vincent planned a January wedding at one of my all time favorite places…Morais Vineyards (with a ceremony at St. John’s Catholic Church). It was a beautiful winter’s day, not terribly cold. But as I’m writing this, I am awaiting surgery on my right hand (typing hand) so I have to make this short, […]

There’s something special about ending your 2022 wedding season with a December wedding. And it’s even more special when it’s a fellow JMU alumni AND a former student at the gorgeous Evergreen Country Club, no less! I’ve been looking forward to Abigail and Gregory’s wedding day for some time now and the day finally came! […]

Vanessa and Mike’s wedding day finally came!!! I was looking forward to it since I first met them and since I photographed their Great Marsh Estate engagement session at about the same time and season last year. These two are about the sweetest couple and they planned the most lovely day for their wedding at […]

When Devon contacted me about wanting her elopement portraits with Clay at Luray Caverns, I was so excited! Luray Caverns is the largest underground caverns in the eastern United States and it’s conveniently located about 45 minutes from my home. You can walk through cathedral-sized rooms with ceilings up to 10-stories high, see incredible towering […]

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!” […]

Peiling and Wei have been such a delightful couple to serve this past year. They rocked their engagement session last September on Skyline Drive and then began work planning their incredible Great Marsh wedding day. Peiling and Wei were wed at the one of a kind, Great Marsh Estate. From the moment you arrive along […]

Vivian and Donald’s wedding day was simply unforgettable! They tied the knot (literally they had a three cord rope knot tying in their ceremony) at the historic Rust Manor in Leesburg, Virginia. The manor is a favorite of mine for its gorgeous staircase and parlor as well as the surrounding gardens with a variety of […]

What a wonderful, beautiful, amazing day it was documenting Elizabeth and Zach’s lovely Inn at Willow Grove wedding day. The Inn at Willow Grove is an elegant wedding venue, inn and spa that boasts the most gracious personal service and views of the Blue Ridge Piedmont region for miles. Elizabeth and Zach planned the most […]

Mackenzie and Ben both graduated from UVA with two overlapping years, but they never met until after they were both out of school. Mackenzie said, “We each got class rings while we were in college and happened to choose all of the same options, so our wedding bands aren’t the only set of matching rings! […]

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 […]
