This isn't just a highlight reel of pretty backdrops. This is where you see the real moments; the happy tears, the belly laughs, the deep breaths before "I do," and the quiet connection that happens when you think no one is looking. I’m proud of every session, but these particular images are my favorites because they perfectly capture that magical alignment: genuine love, authentic emotion, and timeless style. Dive in and see if you can feel the energy!

What kind of weddings do you photograph in Northern Virginia?
I photograph all kinds of weddings—from vineyard weddings in Loudoun County to cozy backyard ceremonies in Fairfax, and everything in between. Whether you’re planning a big celebration at a Northern Virginia wedding venue like Stone Tower Winery or an intimate elopement in the Shenandoah mountains, I’m here to document it with heart, honesty, and intention.
How would you describe your photography style?
My style is documentary and true-to-color. I capture your day as it unfolds: focusing on real, raw moments, beautiful light, and emotional storytelling. You won't find overly-posed shots or trendy filters here; just timeless images that celebrate your unique connection and the authentic color of your day.
Do you photograph more than just weddings?
Yes! While weddings are my main focus, I also offer engagement sessions, anniversary sessions, and intimate lifestyle portraits throughout Northern Virginia. You’ll find a few of those sprinkled in this portfolio—especially when the emotion just begged to be shared.
Where were some of these weddings photographed?
You’ll see images from some of my favorite Northern Virginia wedding venues, including Rosemont Manor, Old Farm Winery at Hartland, and Bluemont Vineyard.
What should we look for in a wedding photography portfolio?
Look for photos that make you feel something! Do the images make you smile, tear up, or want to know more about the couple? Pay attention to consistency, emotional depth, and detail. You deserve a photographer who sees you, not just a shot list, and who can capture the quiet moments, too.
Do you edit all your own photos?
Yes, I hand-edit every photo in your gallery with my signature soft, true-to-life style. I believe in preserving the natural tones of your day while elevating them just enough to feel timeless and polished. No outsourcing, no batch filters -- just thoughtful editing with your story in mind.
How many images do you typically deliver?
It depends on your wedding coverage, but full-day weddings usually include 600–900 carefully edited images. I don’t limit by number -- I believe in telling the whole story, not just a highlight reel.
Can we request specific shots or inspiration?
Absolutely! I welcome inspiration and love collaborating on creative ideas that feel like you. I’ll also guide you through a shot list of key moments and family groupings during the planning process to make sure nothing important is missed.
