While I absolutely love what I do, sometimes I enjoy photographing for myself.  What I mean by this is that I enjoy photographing beautiful things just to photograph them. Wedding days are lovely, filled with emotions, gorgeous details, and love….but I need time to focus (literally) on learning new skills and trying new techniques with […]

Wedding 1/2 for December 12! While I miss the robust wedding days, I am loving these shorter wedding days and able to photograph more than one in a day! What made this wedding so special is that it was all about family. I – Stefanie – personally know the father of the bride as he […]

Jen and Matt were fabulous. Yet another couple who isn’t afraid of following me around an area to take photos whenever and wherever. And I love Morven Park for this reason, there are so many unique settings, a photographer could spend an entire season here and not highlight all the best locations this place has to offer.

I loved my time with McKenzie and Jared and loved the fact they trusted me with some crazy ideas…Like traveling down the ways to the reflecting pool area when that was not a part of the original game plan. We spent sometime around the Memorial before we headed down and found the most gorgeous weeping willow. I’ve seen this tree in a handful of my friend’s images, just never knew where it was! Now it is forever a favorite spot and I can’t wait to take my couple next month there.

The service was beautiful, of course, Catholic weddings always are in my opinion. I love Catholic weddings because of the traditions and rituals. As a photographer, I love documenting them just as much. As the ceremony went on, it felt like we were secure and you wouldn’t know the Nationals’ parade was happening a few blocks over. Every so often you would hear a faint cheer.

Melanie and Benjamin said “I-do” in front of their closest friends and family at Benjamin’s childhood home in Bethesda, MD. Since Melanie – who seems like a good friend now and not a client – is from England, the couple wanted a garden theme wedding with English ties throughout.

On my old website, I would blog about those weddings and continually update my portfolio. Since the migration – and for simplicity sake – I’ve decided to write a quarterly blog post on all my favorite photos taken in those three months that highlights my favorite images from the weddings I photographed for others.

Gosh, can you believe it? Fall is here, but you wouldn’t know it at Julianna and Kevin’s engagement session at the Lincoln Memorial. Good golly, was it another hot one. Shout out to this couple who got up super early to meet me at the steps of the Lincoln for their session with me.

Not too long ago, these two met, fell in love, and began their life together as husband and wife. …Wait a minute, Stefanie… Yes, these two actually renewed their vows in front of their closest friends and family in the most gorgeous setting: a vineyard with beautiful Virginia mountains in the backdrop. And it was […]

It was an amazing wedding; Steve’s reaction was the cutest and the light during family portraits was the best I’ve ever seen. Congratulations, Amanda and Steve! May the Lord bless your marriage; we love because He first loved us.
