If you want a Richmond proposal location that is intimate and picturesque, consider Brown’s Island along the Jame’s River! This summer, I hid in the rocks by the water, tucked away on the south side of T. Tyler Potterfield Memorial Bridge (which is the official name of the pedestrian bridge that runs parallel to the […]
My recent summer engagement session with Beverly & Armani around Washington DC took place on a busy, 90+ degree Saturday. Yet when I think about our time together, while the heat was memorable, what stands out to me is the fun we had and the gorgeous photos we captured. How did we do it? Below […]

Whether you are taking family portraits, grad photos, or engagement sessions… You just can’t go wrong! The greenery, stone […]
If you saw my post last week, you may have swooned over the magical portraits we captured of Tara & Jordan at the Jefferson Hotel. As a Richmond wedding photographer, the Jefferson is one of my favorite luxury places for photos and I was beyond thrilled with the magazine-quality images T&J helped me create. I […]

Yes, we do […]
My final wedding of 2023 (and last wedding before Baby Eko makes his or her appearance, any day now!) was a dream. The vendor team, the venue, the couple, the December weather… I truly couldn’t think of a better way to wrap up this year of weddings!!! Megan & Jonathan have been through the ringer […]
A few weeks ago, I had the privilege of capturing Emily & Tyler’s small wedding in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia. They gathered with immediate family and picked a stunning spot by the water in Windmill Hill Park off Union Street. It was one of those November days that was 70 degrees with no wind (and […]

It’s easy to be excited, for obvious reasons, that my brother, Clark, and his girl Sarah are getting married next year! (Peep part one of their engagement photo session from a few months ago!) Some of those clear reasons are 1) we are getting an amazing new sister-in-law, 2) we love watching what these two […]
There are few greater honors as a photographer than having friends ask you year after year to photograph their families. One of my best friends from college, Tara, has been a model for my camera since I began shooting on a DSLR in 2010! She was the roommate I dragged outside in the middle of […]
I feel like somewhere written in the fine-print of my business blueprint is written, “Loves working with the kindest, funnest couples,” because repeatedly I am so humbled by the kind, fun people who are in front of my camera!! Julia was friend back at CNU, and I photographed roommate photos for her wayyyyyy back in […]
Last Friday, I pulled up to the home where Rachel & Carey were getting ready for their Suffolk wedding and was immediately greeted by Carey and some family friends. Warm smiles and eager handshakes welcomed me, accompanied by impeccably calm, cool, and collected demeanors, and Carey ushered me upstairs to where Rachel was getting hair […]
A surprising joy in my pregnancy (due with baby #1 in January, for those who don’t know!) has been taking up walking for exercise. As a fitness fanatic who traditionally finds life in running and weight-training, I have been known to view walking as a “lesser” form of physical fitness. However, my ever-changing pregnant body […]
Here is some of the recent fun I have been having with Debbie Eko Photography couples!
