The first time Kate reached out to me through email, I could sense her warmth. (Not everyone has the gift of coming across that well in writing!) She told me about her and Ryan, and their sweet pup, as well as how much they love their niece. Sometimes I can tell almost immediately that […]

All week long we planned and prepared because there were storms forecasted for Lily and Eddie’s outdoor celebration. (We had not only a plan b, but also a plan c!) But instead, they got an absolutely PERFECT day to celebrate their love and commitment to one another. Sunshine, a storm that blew through quickly (after […]

I’ve known and loved Jessica as a client and friend for quite a few years now. To see her with Derick has been such an absolute joy! I love watching them laugh together, parent together and face challenges with grace together. They are such a great team! Last fall these two had a lovely and […]

Tracey & Jon were married Saturday at Evergreen Country Club in Haymarket, VA. The heat index had to be over 100 degrees, but I don’t think I heard anyone complain all day! This was a day full of smiles, laughter, fun and celebration! Tracey and Jon have been together 12 years, so everyone involved in […]

Wedding photographers are always talking about finding their “ideal clients.” Guys, these two are it for me. Meryl and John are genuine, kind, down to earth, love their family, and value marriage. That only scratches the surface of why I love them! Meryl and I actually became friends during the wedding planning process, and I’m […]

What can I say about Lauren and Donny? They are one of the most fun couples I’ve ever worked with! They are positive, kind, and full of joy and laughter. I was struck by how much they wanted to take care of all of their friends and family, and even their vendors! They both worked […]

Anny and Clint were married Saturday at Anny’s family’s farm.  It drizzled all day and temps never even reached 70 degrees, but the atmosphere was so incredibly warm and inviting. There was a sense of family and hospitality covering the whole event, and I felt honored to be there to document it. The decor was […]

Ryan and Grace are best friends, high school sweethearts and committed partners. They celebrated their love for one another, and devotion to Jesus in such a meaningful way on their wedding day. Hearing friends and family speak of their kindness, loyalty and integrity was inspiring, and so uplifting! I’m so honored that I was there […]

When I met Meghan and Mitchell last year for their engagement session, I knew their wedding would be a special one! They are such a kind, warm and genuine couple with the sweetest love story. Their wedding day was full of personal touches, bright colors and of course a tremendous amount of love! (And any […]

These two high school sweethearts enjoyed a celebration full of so much joy and love. Highlights of […]
