While shooting a wedding, I arrived at the groom’s house to find the florist’s assistant and the planner’s assistant getting frustrated. They had 7 boutonnieres, 14 pins, and neither of them knew how to pin one. I wear many, many hats on a wedding day and one answers the question, “So, does anyone know how […]

I am 1/16 Greek – which basically means, I have thick eyebrows, and that’s as far as it goes. But after this flawless Dover Hall wedding, I’ve been looking up “how to” Greek dancing videos and craving Stella’s pastichio. Nick and Nora’s wedding was one of my favorites to date. Maybe because it’s impossible to […]

This session is the very reason why I love bridal portraits. Kristen is the definition of modern classic beauty. These photos make her look like a movie star, but she has a style and way about her would make any Hollywood starlet jealous. Kristen chose Monumental Church for her bridals because, well, just look at these photos. […]

Although surprisingly uncommon, Nicole and Andrew asked if they could do a sort of “day after” session once everything settled down from their wedding! With a huge wedding in Northern VA and rain all day, I’m so glad they opted for this. They took their afternoon to shoot at two of my favorite locations in RVA! […]

As Danni knelt down in a quiet corner and carefully wrapped a hand knit blanket with ribbons for her groom, I thought that this must be how she planned her wedding. Everything with such care and attention wrapped in a garnet details. These two planned their wedding from PA, each following their passion to become […]

As I scooped up all of Mallory’s details, I couldn’t help but notice how they perfect fit together. Her Jimmy Choos and Chanel and gorgeous lacy veil… they were made for each other. And that is how I feel about Mallory and Will. Made for each other. They are just the happiest of couples and […]

Lindsay and James got married in Richmond at the Bolling Haxall House in downtown Richmond a couple of weeks ago. Their’s was so special to me because I rarely get to photograph weddings in my own city, and it’s something that I LOVE. After their engagement session, I knew this wedding would be so much fun! […]

My assumption when people ask for my information in person is that they’re just being nice, but I most likely will not hear from them. So when I got a note from Grace and Charlie that they were looking for a photographer for their wedding, I was so excited! I met Grace where she works, a Family Center […]

Y’all, I have a huge treat for you today! One of last year’s couples is sharing their very own Marriage Monday today! KJ and Emma are two of my dear friends here in Richmond, and I was so excited when they agreed to write something for the blog. KJ is a youth pastor at a […]

Brian and Brenna had a dream wedding, I’m convinced. Although warm, they had perfect weather, ideal locations, and the best team of vendors Richmond has to offer. I was so honored to be a part of their day. It started at The Jefferson where Brenna dressed and shared some sweet moments with her family and […]
