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 Wedding Inspiration | Historic Salubria | Culpeper Virginia Wedding Photographer

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 […]
