Elegant, romantic, and timeless are the first words that come to mind when I think of this wedding. Kayla and Brooks got married earlier this year at Rust Manor House in Leesburg, and their day was simply stunning from start to finish. They selected a neutral color palette, with so many classic details, which was […]

This day was an absolute highlight of 2023. It is always an honor to document specific moments or milestones for my clients, but add in an iconic location like the Jefferson Memorial, and it just becomes a photographer’s dream. What made this day even more special though, is that Jacqua is one of my very […]

I was incredibly blessed to photograph so many stunning weddings in 2022. From meaningful heirloom details, to supportive bridal parties, and my outstanding couples, it truly was a spectacular year. 2022 was also my busiest year yet, so I had to take a step back from blogging every single wedding. I am hoping to catch […]

One of the biggest honors as a wedding photographer is working with the same family for multiple weddings. Earlier this year, I photographed Lisa and Garrett’s beautiful Morais Winery wedding, and then a few weeks ago, Lisa’s sister, Stacy got married! It was a privilege to photograph Stacy and Tanyon’s stunning celebration at Renback Barn. […]

When you combine photos of your sister and future brother-in-law at one of the most magical places on earth, it is a recipe for an awesome portrait session. For years, I have dreamed of photographing on Carova Beach, specifically […]
