You guys. This engagement session was absolutely amazing. Seriously. First of all, we had the most dreamy sunrise golden hour light. Listen, I’m a huge fan of sunset golden hour, however, there is something different and more ethereal about the sunrise golden hour. It’s usually less intense, more gentle, and honestly just so dang romantic. […]

When two librarian book lovers get married, there has to be a library involved somehow, and if you are extra creative, the Dewey Decimal System makes the perfect unique seating chart. Which is precisely what Liz and Kris did. Liz and Kris met while working at the Library of Congress in DC and share a […]

At the end of September Elizabeth & Rafael were married in downtown Pittsburgh, the city that had brought them together. Since I travel for most of my weddings, it’s very rare for me to shoot in the same place twice in a row but my first two weddings back after the Camino just so happened […]

This stunning Northern Virginia wedding was such a dream! The day started off at Courtney’s childhood home where she and her bridesmaids were getting ready. Courtney was so relaxed and joyful and I knew from the first few minutes that the rest of the day was going to be wonderful. As I was capturing Courtney’s […]

Sam & Joe’s DC wedding was the definition of a classy downtown affair. I first met Sam & Joe at their engagement session last Fall and we had fun walking around Alexandria and chatting about life while I took their photos. They both are such kind and intentional people and their personalities complement one another […]
