Congratulations to Linnea and Matt on their August Wedding at The Stable at Bluemont Vineyard in Bluemont, Virginia.  Matt’s day began next door at The Dirt Farm Brewery with all of his Groomsmen and his Dad.  They hung out there waiting for time to pass by.  Which I’m sure felt like an eternity.  They enjoyed […]

Congratulations to Morgan and David on their beautiful Virginia Countryside wedding! You may remember their 2 part Engagement Session from a couple months ago.  The first half got rained out by a torrential downpour.  My Weather App totally failed me on this day.  About 25 minutes into our shoot, we were running to our cars.  […]

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. The Blandy Experimental Farm.   We met up there on a particularly beautiful June day.  The sunshine beamed through the trees and created some […]

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” […]

Congratulations to Holly and Jeremy!  They’ve spent the last year planning their Washington DC Wedding while living abroad in Abu Dhabi.  But, with how connected the world is today, it was totally possible!

A Big CONGRATULATIONS to Carrie and Tom on their Engagement and upcoming wedding! We ventured out to Harper’s Ferry in West Virginia and explored the area together.  The day promised rain, so we adjusted our start time and lucked out.  The first sprinkles started as we were driving away. Throughout the session we talked about […]

This October wedding was full of charm and hidden meanings here and there.  If you weren’t paying attention or didn’t ask, you might have missed it.  The Groom created his pocket square with a sweet little note. TRAVEL is like love a remarkable ADVENTURE. The FURTHER you go the more you find your TRUE SELF— […]
