Hey Gorgeous!
I was looking forward to Savannah and Devin’s wedding day for SO LONG! Their fall engagement session last year quickly became a favorite, AND they modeled for my most recent workshop in August! Needless to say, I just adore them both as humans AND as a couple…which meant their wedding couldn’t come soon enough!!! I […]

I spend a LOT of time at weddings, and there are very few weddings I photograph where I leave thinking to myself “I hope my wedding is JUST like this someday”. It typically has absolutely NOTHING to do with what the wedding LOOKS like…and everything to do with how the day feels. The way the […]
This wedding day was overall one of my favorites I’ve ever been a part of. Aubree and Nick found my business on social media and Aubree is a photographer herself based in Boston, MA. When she told me they were planning a wedding day on Cape Cod…I was overwhelmed with excitement!! I lived on base […]
My busy fall shooting season has officially kicked off!!! I couldn’t have asked for a better start than Danielle and Matt’s beautiful day at Salamander Resort! I met Danielle and Matt at their engagement session earlier this spring and we had the best time. They were such naturals in front of the camera and just […]

She found me online and was considering me as her wedding photographer. Since then, we have become the BEST of friends…and it […]

There are so many pieces of this workshop experience that I love putting together…but the styled shoot is ALWAYS so exciting. Kat, Courtney and I have […]
Gahhh, THIS DAY!!! This wedding was my last wedding in Fredericksburg before moving to Charleston, SC. I literally packed everything up and left the NEXT morning at 8am!!! Absolute craziness…but it was the PERFECT finale. The Jepson Alumni Center is less than 3 blocks from my house…which means I literally could have walked to photograph […]
I had been looking forward to this wedding for so long. I first met Sam and Bryce at their Richmond engagement session last fall. They were SO sweet, and they live in the same exact apartments I lived in in Richmond for a short period! We had a blast together at their engagement session and I […]
