Like many couples, Kelly and Nick planned for a bigger celebration at a later date, but COVID proved to not go away the way we had hoped. 

They mustered through and decided on a smaller celebration instead of a bigger one. Surrounded by closest friends and family, these two had a gorgeous picture session with dinner to follow.

Danielle and Ruben decided on forever mid-July and postponed their bigger wedding celebration until next year. Completely with a first look, these two started their day together and walked into the start of their new beginning as husband and wife.

A couple of things about this couple: (1) Ask Jess about ladybugs (2) Ask Andrew how he says mozzarella. This adorable duo met on Coffee Meets Bagel and I am already counting down the days to their White Hall Estate wedding next May! Congratulations, Jessica and Andrew! Next year is gonna be amazing.

My story with Ali and Derek began WAY back pre-‘rona when Ali and I connected through our mutual friend Ashleigh of Sweetly Southern Events.

What do you and your fiancé do two days before Christmas while you are in town to celebrate with family? You have your engagement session, that is what!

Despite it being December, this adorable couple decided to have an outdoor ceremony.

After the ceremony, we rolled through formal photos and made do with the last bit of light we had for portraits behind the manor in the field.

Early in 2019, I photographed a wedding at the Metier – a Michelin star restaurant – in Washington DC. I’ll never forget that moment when I took a modest bite from the creamed peas of my vendor meal and felt the world tilt upon her axis. It was the most delicious thing I had ever […]

I’ll give the disclaimer that this blog post might scare – and shock – some of you. I’ve been on the fence about spilling all my tea about this because – well, it is scary. Especially to clients who depend upon our gear to work properly at their wedding. Also, in the event this blog post makes it to Petapixel, I have to arm myself for a battle against the internet trolls.

What is ahead in 2020 you might ask?

Well, I am halfway booked up, I already have two engagement sessions on the calendar, I am booking into 2021, and plan to focus my energy on serving my couples better through posing and continuing on to build this business while focusing too on my family.

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. […]
