VIRGINIA WEDDING & ANNIVERSARY PHOTOGRAPHER

meet DEBBIE

-  Shannon

11/10 I would recommend Debbie to everyone! She was a pleasure to work with, made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, delivered amazing wedding photos in a very timely fashion.

With many stressful vendor decisions, choosing Debbie as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made. She also does family photography and I plan to hopefully work with her again!

"one of the best decisions we made."

- Lisa

Debbie was an absolute dream to work with! From the moment we met her, she treated us with such kindness and care. Her thoughtful and calming presence made us feel so at ease throughout the day. What amazed us most was how she managed to capture every single sweet moment and emotion of the day so beautifully. 

"We couldn’t have asked for a better person to be by our side"

KIND WORDS

- Rachel

Throughout the wedding planning process, Debbie was a huge assist and put my mind at ease. Prior to the engagement shoot, I sent Debbie samples of some of her portfolio shots that I would like to stylistically recreate. The day of the shoot, Debbie beautifully executed my vision; the prints encapsulated everything I had hoped for - and more!

"it was nearly impossible to choose which snapshots to print"
