Jasmine and Andrew decided not to reschedule again because Jasmine found out earlier this year they were pregnant with their first child. They used their wedding reception as a gender reveal! How awesome was that?! The expressions were priceless!!

And finally, after portraits, 3 outfit changes on Jasmine’s end, and dinner the couple were off to the after-party through a sparkler exit.

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 […]

Their April wedding then turned into a September date and then finally May of 2021. BUT, they decided to get married with a select number of friends and family and planned for a later celebration because they couldn’t wait. And I didn’t blame them one bit. I actually encouraged this from the get-go.

Sticking to their second date – and their ceremony venue – Jasmine and Andrew said I-do in Jasmine’s childhood church.

Surrounded by family and their bridal party, these two said I-do and feasted on all their favorite foods after their wedding. Can’t wait for next year’s celebration and looking forward to Chick-fil-a as a late night bite with them 🙂

As a Michigan Native – but former Texas resident – I get SUPER pumped when I meet other Michiganders in the DC area. Especially clients. Que Ryan’s message via The Knot. Immediately we struck up a conversation about Michigan – where we lived, where we went to school, how we ended up out this way. […]

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.

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 […]
