Mel and Aaron know how to host a party! The sun, colors, crowd, and dance floor were all bright and lively, echoing this fun-loving groups’ vibe. Mel told me at their engagement session that she and Aaron (high school sweethearts) planned to be wed on the anniversary of their dating. It was the perfect anniversary […]

Anna and Michael’s wedding day was filled with the classic tradition of a bygone era. From the gorgeousarchitectural wonder of Notre Dame Chapel at Trinity Washington University, complete with ceiling mosaic and exquisite stained glass (which lights my Art-History heart aflame), to the lovely gown from Posh Bridal with its traditional sleeves, lace, train, veil, […]

This wedding was a HOT one! Despite the heat, and the need to pivot from their original outdoor plans to an indoor ceremony, everything was PERFECT! Esme with Boda Maestra ensured everything went forth without a hitch. From the florals (also Boda Maestra) to the food provided by Pampas Fox Catering, the Onyx band with […]

It was a beautiful Spring Day in Virginia. The weather was perfect, the wildfire smoke had cleared, and Liz and Paul were getting married! We arrived in the relaxed and quiet energy Liz and Paul have radiated since our first meeting at their engagement session last fall. Liz and the ladies of her bridal party […]

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, […]

Liz and Paul met me at the National Cathedral for their DC engagement session. The weather was warm and pleasant and Liz and Paul were so easy going and fun to photograph! I love that they chose such a gorgeous feat of architecture for their session and the Bishop’s Garden was also just brimming with […]

What a joy it was to photograph in one of my favorite parts of the country with the absolute sweetest couple! Katelyn and Freddy met up with me at the beach across from Whalehead Club in Corolla, North Carolina. Their sun kissed golden hour OBX engagement session was AMAZING. I am so excited to be […]

Elizabeth and Zach have about a month to go until their Inn at Willow Grove wedding day! So I’m really pleased to be able to share their recent engagement session. They picked Effington Manor for their session location and it was the perfect place to get to see them interact as a couple! Exploring the […]

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 also photographed three weddings for a friend who had moved from the area and then had rescheduled weddings due […]
