This is an exciting blog post for two reasons: 1. It’s my LAST wedding of 2020 but 2. It’s my FIRST ever wedding in Charleston!!! I’ve lived in Charleston for a little over a year now, but I’ve been traveling back to Virginia (and all over the East Coast!) to photograph my weddings. This was […]
This was my SECOND wedding in SIX days after almost 9 months of not shooting a wedding…craziness!! And it felt SO good!!! Kat and Carter got married in Virginia Beach on Saturday, in the midst of a pandemic, and it was the most wonderful day. There were so many sweet and sentimental details throughout the […]
Ya’ll…my first wedding blog post in 9 MONTHS!!! AH! I have not had a wedding since last October thanks to our pal COVID-19. Tess and Tyler’s wedding was actually supposed to be back in mid-May…but it got pushed back because of the virus. These two were such troopers about the entire thing, and they were […]
Earlier this week I shared my Best of Portraits from 2019…and today is all about WEDDINGS! So, if you thought the “Best of Portraits” post was long…buckle up!! Haha! I LOVE going back through my wedding galleries every year. There are so many beautiful moments that unfold at every single wedding that I often forget […]

Amanda and Jake actually booked me for their wedding day over 3 years ago. But, […]
My LAST wedding in Fredericksburg, VA…I seriously can’t even believe it!!! After almost 3 months of nonstop traveling every single weekend…this was my last consecutive trip (I get a whole month off!) and my very last wedding in the town I just moved from back in July. And, if that wasn’t already special enough, Kara […]
Oh my goodness, where do I even start with Hollie and Evan’s wedding day!? It was INCREDBILE all around!!! Aside from the fact that the bride and groom are wonderful humans with hearts of gold, every piece of the day was perfect. From the weather to the venue to the details to the vendor team…the […]
October is always a crazy wedding season for photographers, and it always leaves me feeling so grateful! I have a wedding every single weekend this month, and that means LOTS of traveling and shooting…but also getting to spend time with clients that I LOVE. From the very beginning of the planning process, I knew that […]
