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.
Kayla and Keith’s Cove at Fawn Lake wedding was beautiful and full of unique details. The Cove at Fawn Lake is attached to the country club of Fawn Lake, an upscale gated residential community, and features a large ballroom with an outdoor, waterfront ceremony site. It’s a great space, although fairly chilly in February. Kayla […]
I love when the dance floor stays busy and Layne and Saul’s Arbor Haven wedding was no exception. These two, their friends and their families can dance. Layne and Saul are high school sweethearts. Saul’s best man highlighted their long relationship in his speech, noting how Saul first said he liked Layne back before they […]
With only about two weeks to go until their big day, I received a message that Rebecca and Joseph were seeking a photographer to capture their Arbor Haven wedding. “Yes, absolutely, let’s figure it out.” I’m a make it work girl (I see you Tim Gunn) and if I can make it work, I’ll do […]
Laura and Kyle may have had to wait a few extra months for their Lake Anna wedding, but it was so worth it. They were originally supposed to get married in April, but thanks to COVID-19, they moved their wedding to mid-September. That’s something that many 2020 brides, and wedding vendors, unfortunately have experience with. […]
Is there anything better than colorful bridal inspiration? I don’t think so, especially right now during all of this COVID-19 bleakness. We can all use a little brightness in our lives. Almost four years ago (I can’t believe it has been that long!), I captured a fiesta-style wedding shoot at Snead’s Asparagus Farm in Fredericksburg. […]
Samantha and Chris had a beautiful Bandit’s Ridge wedding last month. The weather was warm, but gorgeous with bright blue sunny skies and the most perfect evening late summer, early fall light. However, maybe the most radiant thing was the huge smile Samantha had throughout the day. She was the epitome of a happy bride, […]
Sometimes you meet people that you just click with and that was the case the first time I met Danielle and Josiah. Since then, I’ve photographed numerous milestones in their lives including most recently, the announcement that they’re expecting their second child. However, I think the most special had to have been their intimate Leesylvania […]
There are lots of articles out there about choosing your wedding photographer and let me say, as a wedding photographer, some of them make sense and some of them don’t. Here’s my advice for selecting a wedding photographer and definitely what I would do if I were a bride searching for someone to capture my […]
Morgan once told me she’s not a cold weather girl, but you could never tell it judging by her wedding day. She was all smiles all day as she married Kevin March 9 at Alturia Farm, a gorgeous horse farm complete with white barns in King William about 20 miles outside of Richmond. It was […]
