July 28, 2024 was the day our lives changed forever – for the better. It was the day we met our baby girl and instantly fell in love. I wrote this a month after she arrived, but I’m posting it right as she’s about to turn four months old. Even still, I can’t believe Abigail Claire […]

This Wilbur Mansion wedding could not have been more perfect and picturesque for two longtime sweethearts. Journeying through the previous year with Andrew and Rachel has been a true privilege. From photographing the moment Rachel said “yes” to Andrew’s proposal at National Cathedral, to their picture-perfect snowy engagement session at the DAR Headquarters, to a […]

Often during this Old Town Alexandria, VA engagement shoot, I had to remind myself I wasn’t having deja vu… I was elated when Allison, sister to one of my former Willow Britt brides (Lauren), reached out inquiring about how to have me photograph her wedding. Remembering her as one of the most supportive sister-maids of […]

As a professional Virginia wedding photographer, one of the questions I often get from brides and grooms is whether I work off a shot list to create their wedding photos. Time and again they’re often surprised at the answer. I never bring a shot list (other than the family formals list) to a wedding day. […]

As a seasoned wedding photographer based in the Washington, DC area, I’ve had the pleasure of capturing some of the sweetest love stories in this historic and picturesque city. I’ve lived here since 2018, and it’s no wonder to me how this city’s charm attracts romantics near and far. Whether you’re planning a grand wedding […]

I consider myself pretty lucky that my job includes being surrounded by some of the freshest, most vibrant flowers. How could anyone be depressed when constantly experiencing the fragrance and beauty of bridal bouquets?
