I love photographing in the city because […]

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.

2021 was full of wonderful weddings, but I also had the pleasure of documenting numerous portrait sessions throughout the year.  It is always an honor to document portrait sessions, whether they are engagement sessions, senior/graduation photos, family sessions or “just because” photos.  This year, my sessions took me from the Shenandoah Mountains, to Blacksburg and […]
