Some sneak peeks from K + K’s wedding day at Wool Factory in Charlottesville, Virginia. I loved how modern the venue was + didn’t want to detract from its charm. We kept the colors pretty neutral + added some dusty-colored roses as a pop of color. Paired with some romantic lighting with an abundance of candles, I think we knocked this design out of the park!

A few of my favorite things— black + white photos, film + some movement 🤍🖤

One of my favorite details from J + J’s wedding day were these vow books. “Forever, my love” is a phrase they use often with each other + I loved how the bilingual use of the vow books tied into their heritage 💙

Reminiscing on J + J’s elegant wedding in the heart of Virginia’s horse country. I loved the addition of equestrian themed touches amongst the cool tones found in the silver, stone buildings, and chinoiserie.

If you know me, you know I’m all about the timeless shots. I love the iconic DC photos, featuring the beautiful white pillars found throughout much of the city’s architecture. There’s no other city quite like DC!

When designing my own shoots, I always love adding a unique touch that will differentiate us from the rest. For this shoot at DAR in DC, we brought in a live dove, which I thought was beautiful against the cool winter tones we used throughout. 🕊️

With wedding season sneaking up, I’m reminiscing about this April shoot we did at Salubria. The soft greens found inside the historic house inspired our tablescape and added to this beautiful spring-inspired shoot.

A few favorites from A + J’s classy DC wedding at The Willard. We were able to completely transform their ceremony space to their reception space within an hour’s time. It was all hands on deck but the vendor team did an amazing job of flipping the space before guests entered the reception!

The biggest piece of advice I could give to any couple on selecting a photographer is to find someone that gets those UNIQUE shots. Any photographer can take generic photos of you, your family, and friends on your wedding day. It takes a special photographer, though, to think outside the box and capture those sweet, special moments behind the camera that you’ll cherish forever.

Nothing better than the addition of candles in your centerpiece to make your reception even more romantic. With a high arrangement, adding lower candles around it gives the tables more dimension, with a full look.

This wedding was the happiest, most colorful wedding I’ve worked to date! 💛🧡🩷 And truly shows that plan B’s/rain plans can be so so beautiful!

Why are rehearsals so important? So you can practice + perfect your ceremony, to include “the dip.” I think it goes without saying that R + V absolutely knocked theirs out of the park! 👏🏻

Nothing sweeter than having the kindest clients + being able to work with some of my favorite photographers!

I cannot get enough of T + N’s engagement session in old town! Between the cobble stone streets, the tranquil water, and beautiful sail boats, it’s the perfect location for an engagement session!
