Today, I am sharing my last wedding for the 2021 season on the blog.  Kirsten and Austin had the most beautiful day at Renback Barn.  The weather was mild, the sun was shining… basically it was a photographer’s dream! My last wedding of 2020 was also at Renback, and the weather was just as lovely. […]

Right before Christmas, I met Erin and Stephen in Culpeper for their engagement session.  It was super chilly, but we made the best of it and they were troopers as I took them to all my favorite downtown portrait locations.  I am forever thankful for the best clients!  They are getting married at the beautiful […]

This blog post is a special one for me!  A few months back, my brother reached out and asked about doing a portrait session in OBX, which of course I said yes to!  Photos in OBX are always a good idea.  The best part was that he also wanted to turn it into a proposal, […]

Sara and Kevin waited so long for this day to happen, and it was truly the perfect celebration of their marriage.  They actually exchanged their vows last year (you can see that blog post here), but decided to postpone their big celebration with all their friends and family until 2021.  It is safe to say […]

Early morning summer engagement sessions might be my new favorite!  Due to weather challenges, Haylie and Nathanael had to move their evening portrait session to the morning, and I am so glad we did because the light was just perfect and we didn’t have to worry about rain for their photos.  Talk about a win!

One of my favorite aspects of being a wedding photographer is getting to know my wonderful clients and their families as I work with them.  Sometimes, I get the opportunity to work with the same families at multiple weddings, and it’s such an honor documenting these memories for them.  Faith and AJ got married a […]

Kendra and Matt tied the knot a few weeks ago at Mountain Run Winery.  To say their wedding was fun would be an understatement!  It was a super hot day, but they made the most of it and you could truly tell they had the best day ever (I am pretty certain their guests would […]
