Ever since watching Father of the Bride, I have had a soft spot for backyard weddings. Stephanie + Chris tied the knot on a gorgeous summer day at a family member's beautiful home. We loved how intimate the ceremony was and the sunlight stunningly streaming through the tree branches. Everything from the charming venue to th...

Jessica + Tom are married!! Their wedding was the perfect mix of rustic elegance. They said their "I dos" in a 1920's dairy barn adorned with bistro lights surrounded by their closest family + friends. Their sweet pup, Pepper, even made an appearance! I have to say I loved their wedding party. Everyone was so laidback and ...

These two lovebirds reunited in Virginia, and it was so so sweet! Jess emailed me a few weeks back saying that she was flying from Washington to visit her fiance, Shane, who was stationed outside of Richmond and really wanted to squeeze an engagement shoot into her visit.   Jess explained that their wedding is going t...

More than anything, the past few days have reminded me that family is everything! They are the people in your life who will stick with you through thick and thin. Time passes by way faster than you ever expect, so take lots of photos, always tell them how much you love them, and try not to miss a moment.  This fall wa...

Caroline + Sam are engaged!!! We were so excited to take some engagement photos for them and celebrate! Carolina wanted to have a mix of casual and formal photos taken, so we headed to Belle Isle and Virginia War Memorial to get the best of both worlds.  Sam kept Caroline laughing through the entire shoot, which made ...

These two are getting married at the incredibly gorgeous Cousiac Manor next August! I have no idea how, but David and I had never heard of this gorgeous Virginia venue before.
