Hayley, Rick and I walked a bit around the city for their classic DC/Georgetown engagement photos! We started near the canal walk, made our way to the waterfront, then over towards the charming residential areas, and ended at the Kennedy Center on the rooftop terrace at sunset. It was a brisk fall day but these […]

I finally made it out to Shenandoah National Park on Skyline Drive for an engagement session! What?! Somehow, I’ve not yet had a couple who was interested in making the hike out there for a shoot and it’s been on my list of places to go for some time now. Carly and Joe love the […]

Meet Jackie and Anthony! I recently traveled to Manassas to take their Manassas Battlefield engagement photos on what ended up being an unusually chilly and quite windy, beautiful fall day. The sky was clear and our golden hour was one of the most intensely golden I’ve seen yet.  Anthony and Jackie are so kind-hearted, fun-loving, […]

Today I’m sharing a sweet Smithsonian Castle engagement session with you that features Devin and Stephanie! Devin and Stephanie were VERY recently engaged, however Devin had been planning to propose to Stephanie for a while. He first contacted me in mid-March to let me know he was planning to surprise his girlfriend by proposing during […]

Today I’m sharing Sydney and Kyle’s misty sunrise engagement session in Old Town Alexandria! It was overcast that morning which kind of defeated the whole point of us meeting at sunrise (to get some of that golden glowy light), but the mist in the distance was still neat and the chemistry between Sydney and Kyle […]

I recently had the honor of photographing a surprise proposal at a stunning winery in Loudoun County. Shane had planned to propose to Jen in a balcony overlooking the beautiful vineyard and she had absolutely no idea that it was happening! Before it went down, I asked a really nice group of strangers nearby if […]

There’s so much to love about this sweet Riverside on the Potomac wedding. Noel and Bryan said their vows at St. James’ Episcopal Church in Leesburg, then headed over to Riverside on the Potomac for their reception, which was the perfect blend of rustic elegance. Their day was record-breaking for early November temperature lows and […]

When Brittany contacted me about shooting her and Dan’s 1 year anniversary photos at their little rancher home that they purchased together right after getting married, I was so excited! I love when clients have an idea to incorporate something really meaningful into their sessions instead of picking a random field. Yes, we can find great locations […]

When I first started to schedule a camping-themed engagement inspiration session that I had been envisioning, I knew right from the start I wanted it to be a little less romantic and a little more editorial. I have been seriously CRAVING to do some editorial-type work lately. I reached out to some local talent from around the Northern Virginia area […]
