While we see the remnants of summer in the rearview mirror, so many of us in the VA-DC-MD area are itching for autumn! Every family and wedding photographer is excitedly waiting for the beauty ahead in front of our camera lenses these […]

Richmond Proposal | Brown’s Island | Richmond Wedding Photographer

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 […]

Planning a Hot Summer Engagement Session (Literally!) | Washington DC Wedding Photographer

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 […]

Richmond Photographer | Maymont Engagement Photos

Ask any Richmond photographer what one of their top locations for photos in Richmond VA is, and I am sure they will say, “Maymont Gardens!”  Maymont offers SUCH a wonderful variety of areas to take photos. Whether you are taking family portraits, grad photos, or engagement sessions… You just can’t go wrong! The greenery, stone […]

Tara & Jordan (Part 2) | Richmond Wedding Photographer

Bride & groom kiss in the back seat of a Bentley car

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 […]

Tara & Jordan (Part 1) | Richmond Wedding Photography

Getting Ready & Portraits “Brides who CARE.” If you speak with most wedding photographers (especially the Richmond wedding photographer typing these words!), you will learn we get inexpressible joy when working with couples who are deeply invested in photography and have a vision for how they desire their day to be captured. Yes, we do […]

Great Marsh Estate: Jonathan & Megan

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 […]

Old Town Alexandria: Emily & Tyler Elopement

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 […]

Mike & Naz: John Marshall Ballrooms

Being a wedding and portrait photographer here in Richmond, Virginia, has been one of my top places to live and work because of how many amazing locations we have for photos. Gardens? No problem! Breathtaking city views? For sure!! Train stations that are stunning inside and out? We got you! Fun murals? You bet! Museums? […]

Shockoe Bottom Engagement: Clark & Sarah, Pt 2

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 […]

Hayes Family: Colonial Williamsburg

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 […]

Erik & Julia: DC Engagement Shoot

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 […]

Rachel & Carey: Fall Wedding at The Planter’s Club

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 […]

Shockoe Bottom Engagement: Clark & Sarah, Pt 1

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 […]
