Another beautiful spring engagement session!  I love getting to photograph engagement sessions at meaningful locations. When Lauren asked if we could take their engagement photos with the cows on their farm, I was so excited.  For one, I love getting to explore new locations to find the best light for my clients.  Secondly, how special […]

I’ve been looking forward to sharing these images ever since Carla and Richard’s wedding!  They had a beautiful fall wedding at the lovely Mountain Run Winery in Culpeper.  This was my first time shooting a wedding there, and I really enjoyed it!  From start to finish, this day was full of so much love and […]

If there was ever a wedding with perfect weather, it was this one!  Mild temperatures and beautiful light are just two of the reasons this was such an amazing day though.  Helena and Eric said “I Do” surrounded by their families and friends at Oak Creek Farm and the love they shared was just so […]

Jess and Matt’s engagement session was incredible and I am so happy to be sharing these photos on the blog.  This was actually my last engagement session before quarantine/covid-19 basically shut down my photography business for two months- so at least I got to “end” my brief spring season on a high note!  I loved […]

What better way to kick off my new website and blog than sharing my own wedding photos!  This post is incredibly long overdue, but I think sharing a personal post is the perfect way to celebrate my site launch.  This will probably be my longest post I have ever shared, but I really hope you […]

I want to go back and photograph this wedding again and again.  That is how amazing Chris and Amanda’s day was back in October!    From the time Amanda had initially booked me for her wedding, I knew it was going to be one for the books!  The best way for me to describe this […]
