Jessica and Drew hosted such a beautiful and intimate garden wedding at the Virginia Cliffe Inn last May. I loved so much about this wedding – the smaller scale, the charming setting, the delicious meal, and their gorgeous florals in a range of amazing pastel hues. It was clear Jess and Drew had taken great care to curate a group of vendors that wo...
I met Emma and Zach on a beautiful spring evening for their engagement mini session! They are simply adorable together, and the time flew by as we visited all the pretty spots in Zach's family's beautiful yard. We couldn't have asked for a more vibrant golden hour. This is such a happy little collection of photos of two very sweet and soulful peopl...
Elaine and Sean chose the Roaring Twenties as the inspiration for their wedding decor and attire. There were so many great Art Deco details and festive touches that added to the vibe, and I could see how much fun their guests were having leaning into the theme with their period-inspired outfits. I loved the balance E+S struck between the playfulnes...
I met Jessica and Drew for their engagement session on the most radiant, sunny morning in April. We met at Maymont Estate in Richmond, which was positively bursting with colors and textures. It was the first visit to Maymont for all of us, and we had such a pleasant time discovering all the amazing nooks and crannies in the gardens. Although workin...
Stephanie and Ken are two of the sweetest souls and made me feel so welcome on their wedding day (and their engagement session). These two overcame numerous obstacles in the weeks and months leading up to their April wedding, including a last-minute pandemic-related venue change. Sky Ridge Farm ended up being the perfect backdrop for their spring c...
Dana and Chaney are so gentle and soulful and it was such a pleasure to spend time with them capturing their engagement photos. We met near the spot they had gotten engaged in the Blue Ridge Mountains and were captivated by the breathtaking views and soft, early-spring light. This session came after a very long, quiet pandemic winter, on the annive...
I had the pleasure of capturing senior photos of Natalie and Lexie – twins! – in the fall of their final year of high school. We had SUCH a fun time visiting picturesque spots around their family's wooded homestead, and, of course, I can never get enough of autumn's buttery golden light. It's hard to imagine two lovelier young women, both inside an...
Lauren and Jay celebrated their wedding on a perfect, mild October day at Rosemont Springs! I appreciated all of their pretty details, including their lush infinity arch and bouquets, which were absolutely gorgeous. There was so much sweet energy and emotion throughout this day – from the poignant first looks at the beginning of the day all the way...
James and Brittney got married on the most gorgeous October day! They decided to host a very intimate "micro-wedding" to maintain as much safety as possible for their family while they gathered. I loved their strategy to rent a beautiful AirBnB property that would provide a classy backdrop for their festivities and easily accommodate their dozen gu...
The transition from summer to fall is probably my favorite time of year, perhaps in part because it's one of the most beautiful seasons for photography. There's something about the golden light and cooler evenings that makes every session feel special. I had a great time with Jen and Brandon capturing their engagement photos at Barboursville Vineya...
