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.
Chelsea and Quartez had a beautiful Fredericksburg wedding on a gorgeous June day at the Spotsylvania American Legion building in the Fredericksburg area. The two said “I do,” in front of family and friends before dancing the night away under a sea of twinkling lights. Chelsea and Quartez’s wedding was a long time coming for […]
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 […]

Carie and Troy were married on one of the most beautiful September days at the Retreat at Cool Springs, a historic home that has been renovated to encompass modern comforts, but with an authentic vibe. The entire house was decorated, with flowers in the front entrance and in all of the main downstairs rooms. Each […]
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 […]
Things have been a little crazy around here, but that’s okay because Wedding Wednesday is back! So, now that you’re engaged and you’ve picked a date, it’s time to find a venue. The first thing to think about is what kind of wedding you want. Do you want a traditional, church ceremony? Do you want […]
With the weather warming up and lots of brides putting the finishing touches on their summer or fall weddings, I’m feeling inspired to share my wedding planning experience. Keep in mind this was almost five years ago and definitely pre-Pinterest, says the Pinterest addict. I’ll share what I did well, what I didn’t do so […]
