Some sneak peeks from K + Kās wedding day at Wool Factory in Charlottesville, Virginia. I loved how modern the venue was + didnāt 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!

If you know me, you know Iām all about the timeless shots. I love the iconic DC photos, featuring the beautiful white pillars found throughout much of the cityās architecture. Thereās 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. šļø

With wedding season sneaking up, Iām 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 + Jās classy DC wedding at The Willard. We were able to completely transform their ceremony space to their reception space within an hourās 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 youāll cherish forever.
Wishing you + yours a very happy holiday season! š¤
