Last month, I met Ceci and Joe at the beautiful Meadowlark Botanical Gardens for their engagement session. I had the BEST time with them- it truly felt more like I was hanging out with friends than “working.” Safe to say I am super excited for their wedding next year at one of my all-time favorite […]

June was a busy month with four weddings, and I kicked off all the festivities with Brianna and Ben’s wedding. Everything about this wedding was so personal, and Brianna and Ben put so much effort into all the heartfelt details.

Last year, I had the unique opportunity to photograph a beautiful styled shoot at Boydville, the Inn at Martinsburg.  Every once in a while, it is fun to step back from weddings and portraits for a day, and just be creative.  This styled shoot was exactly that; an opportunity to be creative, be inspired, and […]
