I’m so excited about this shoot that Stephanie Messick Photography invited me to be a part of. It’s going to be a while before I can share more, but until then… #goDukes

I’m in the process of choosing photos for my website, just to give it a little update. This year, for the first time, I feel like I’m really settling into my style. I’ve gone back to previous weddings, re-edited and tweeked some photos and piled them all in a folder. But how do you get […]

I met Cri Cri at a Starbucks and she insisted on buying me a drink. We talked about her wedding – and her secret plans to elope. But she didn’t elope. Cristina and Matt had a beautiful, formal wedding in Chevy Chase. People came from all over for this wedding – everyone was treated like […]

I’m writing this post from my kitchen table with the smell of apple pie swirling around my house. I thought I’d tell you because apple pies are something that is friendly and familiar. In a funny way, Eleanor and Mitch are like apple pie. The perfect combination of sweet and sass. They are timeless. You’ll […]

I arrived at Morven Park and was welcomed by a big blue sky, a light breeze, and a historic mansion on acres and acres of land. I scouted, took a deep breath, and the day began. Alex and Ashleigh had told me about their wedding months ago. They loved equestrian decor, and were not going […]

I am married to Chad thanks to Bobby. Chad told me that Bobby had to approve of me, and lucky for me he did, but the whole idea made me nervous. Chad and Bobby’s friendship can be described as deep, orchestrated by the Lord, and forever. They are best friends, and when Trish came along, […]

Happy Independence Day, y’all! I think it’s appropriate to post this wedding today. These two are military and what better way to celebrate than by also celebrating a beautiful wedding of two people who defend America’s freedom for their JOB. I just posted their engagement session not too long ago, and you read their amazing, […]

Surrounded by family, friends, and history, Haley and Michael said their vows on Saturday to a congregation of 200 or so. I can’t wait to share more with you later this week!

One thing I love about being a wedding photographer is that I get to sit through so many ceremonies. Well, not sit, but you know what I mean. I love hearing the message at each wedding because usually they are so personalized, and yet can be applied to any marriage. Luke and Hannah got married […]
