I'm a published wedding and portrait photographer located in a small town outside of Charlottesville. In addition to capturing beautiful images, I love spending time with my family, am freakishly good at word games (Hey Wheelmobile!), love an ice cold can of Coke or Dr. Pepper, know every line to Hocus Pocus and can never pass up a Chick-fil-A waffle fry or a trip to HomeGoods.
Winter is for…weddings? I think when people think of ideal months or seasons for weddings, they automatically go for spring, summer or fall, but winter weddings can be absolutely stunning. Imagine a bride in her dress in the snow with a faux fur shawl and beautiful flowers that add just a tiny pop of color. […]
Elizabeth and Conner were married on a perfect October day at the Octagonal Barn at the Frontier Culture Museum in Staunton. Fun little fact about the barn itself, it was built in 1905 and as of 1993, was one of only two such barns in the state. Beside the shape, it’s also unique in that […]
In his speech, Katie’s dad said he “loves the way Adam loves Katie” and I admit, I do too. During their wedding day at the Pavilion on Lakeland Farm, their love for each other way on full display. They laughed, occasionally cried and made their day their own, which is something I always love. From […]
Laura and Jimmy wanted to get married outdoors with mountain views and their Wolftrap Farm wedding definitely fit the bill. Jimmy is originally from Georgia so outdoors was a must. He and Laura met at a local bar when he was in Virginia for work. A little over a year later, he relocated to Virginia […]
Can I just say I love me some Valentine’s Day? I know people complain that it’s a manufactured holiday and we should show our loved ones how we feel every day, but there’s something so sweet about a whole day devoted to love. That can be love for your children, your spouse or significant other, […]
Back in August, on what had to be one of the warmest days of the year, I attended the Southern Grace Workshop hosted by Sarah Houston Photography at Rounton Farm. The farm has become a popular local wedding destination, offering a beautiful barn with gorgeous scenic views nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge […]
I’ll admit it, I’m not a winter-weather person. I’m usually not a fan of anything cold or snowy and I sure as heck don’t love driving in it, but there was just something about how the brick of Salubria in Culpeper and the reds and golds of this shoot popped against the snow that made me […]
Last month, I had the opportunity to shoot a beautiful, intimate Keswick Vineyards wedding. It was an overcast day so the colors really popped against the mountains and vines. The ceremony was small and intimate with lots of personal details: handwritten vows, a hand fasting ceremony, Dr. Who inspired elements…plus, the bride walked down the […]
This past Saturday I had the opportunity to photograph a gorgeous, intimate Keswick Vineyards wedding. Though the forecast was calling for rain, not a drop fell from the sky as as the groom sang his bride down the aisle and these two were married in front of their children and friends. Enjoy this sneak peek […]
