Congratulations to Melinda and Daniel on your Engagement! We started their Engagement Session at Bluemont Vineyards on a beautiful Summer day.  We met and were about 40 minutes into our session when the skies turned dark and threatening.  So we had to cut the session short, which I felt badly about, but no one wants […]

I’ve never met a couple that could break into laughter as easily.  Megan and Luis were an absolute joy to get to know during their Engagement Session at the Virginia Arboretum, a.k.a.

Congratulations to Morgan and David on their Engagement! I had the pleasure of meeting Morgan when we worked together on a previous wedding.  She was the venue coordinator and was so helpful behind-the-scenes.  When she contacted me about possibly shooting her own wedding, I felt so honored.  Because she’s seen me at my possibly “not-so-professional” […]
