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 2/2 on December 12!! Like Kristin and Reid, Judy and Billy decided they couldn’t wait and wanted to get married in 2020. They decided on a smaller wedding as well with catering brought in by Ridgewell’s in Maryland. What I loved the most about this intimate gathering the happiness seen in all guests’ faces. […]

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 […]

Surrounded by 30 guests, these two said I do and enjoyed a lovely, laid back dinner party. Congratulations, Tori and Jason. Wishing you two the happiest of marriages and welcome to the area!

I would say this wedding was a smashing success all around. Everyone had a wonderful time, especially the bride and groom. I’m going to miss working with these two for sure.

Brittany and Ryan met many moons ago when they were just littles. Over the years, the grew close together and decided on forever. When this couple booked me, we hoped things would be different as they originally had 200 guests invited. They made the decision to pair down and go forward with their original wedding date. 

Today marked my third “big” wedding of 2020! And I honestly felt like I was a new photographer all over again. Instead of a consolidated day, I had another 8-hour day! It felt foreign at first, but I quickly got into the groove. Right after COVID came, I received an email from this couple’s wedding […]

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.

Like so many couples in 2020, Dawne and John were greatly affected by COVID restrictions and venue restrictions. They decided to stick with their original wedding date in May after postponing it to September. We all thought for the best, right?

Since Alexandria is a city so near and dear to these two – and they wanted that historic vibe – we met up near the Waterfront and made our way around a couple of blocks and wrapped up near the arena. Their Old Town Alexandria engagement session turned out to be everything Cat wanted: greenery with cobblestone.
