Madi and Keegan kicked off my busy fall wedding season and it was the PERFECT way to begin!!! Madi is seriously just the sweetest bride. We hit it off from the very beginning at their engagement session and anytime we ran into each other in between we got to chat like old friends!! She is a […]
This post is going to be a LONNGGG one and I’m not even going to apologize. So many amazing memories, beautiful people and incredible businesses are in these photos. For anyone that is confused by the title “alumni retreat” – let me explain! Last year, I began an annual retreat for all of my past […]
Hunter and Andy met at a bar on Virginia Tech campus and immediately hit it off. Then, years later, Andy proposed in Blacksburg (the place that carried SO many special memories for them as a couple!!!) and it went off without a hitch! Even though Andy taped the ring box to his shin with gorilla tape […]

You may remember Christina and Chris from their beautiful DC engagement session last year! They are such a sweet couple and I have loved working with them over the last year. When we saw that their wedding day forecast was 100% chance of rain (after a full 7 DAYS of storms), my second photographer and I knew […]
Megan and Dallas are truly a special couple. They are both photographers (and now officially a husband and wife team!!) and working with them as been such a joy and an honor. They had so many incredible speeches and guests celebrating with them on their big day, but the thing EVERYONE said is how much they radiate […]
