Elise and Jarrett threw one of my favorite weddings of the year. From every meticulously planned detail to the overall mood of the day, you can tell these two spent an incredible amount of time intentionally planning this affair. The list of personal touches on this wedding is astounding: an engraved watch, heirloom ribbon sewn […]

King Family Wedding

Can you even believe this first photo!? This was actually before their ceremony! Tatiana threw off her shoes and walked across these stones just moments before their nuptials. This is exactly the type of couple Tatiana and Damien are: easy going, up for adventure and tackling anything thrown their way, together. Life can bring you […]

Sundy House Wedding | Delray Beach Wedding Photographer Kir Tuben | Tatiana and Damien

This couple and I were made for each other. When planning their engagement session, Remi wanted to do something in Maryland but didn’t know what, so she asked me if there was anything I was really excited to shoot. I thought about if Ben and I were to get engaged again, what would we want […]

I think one of my favorite things in this career is when my couples trust me whole heartedly. When you put faith in the creatives you hire, magic can happen. That is exactly what Karly and AJ did! This pair knew they wanted classic DC monument photos but were totally open to any second location […]

Grace and John, what a pair. After getting to know these two at their engagement session at her family’s property, I had been looking forward to this wedding all year.

The Inn at Little Washington Wedding | Northern Virginia Elopement Photographer Kir Tuben | Grace and John

If you get married during a tropical storm, you should be given a medal of honor. Just my two cents! Taylor and Lauren planned a destination wedding in Charleston for the closest friends and family and it was insanely beautiful. Yes, it rained and no, it wasn’t the EXACT day they had planned- the power […]

Sometimes, you witness a day that is just so natural it restores your faith in love. This is how Connor and Sarah’s day felt. They decided to get married with only their immediate family present.

Tudor Place Garden Wedding | Washington DC Elopement Photos | Sarah and Connor

I had very high expectations for this Charlottesville wedding and oh man, every single one was met and exceeded! When this couple first contacted me, it was actually Hayley’s mom Lisa who did all the emailing (and the intake call!) Now usually, that’s a red flag when I have a mom so hands on with […]

UVA Chapel Wedding | Verulam Farm Wedding | Charlottesville Wedding Photographer Kir Tuben | Hayley and Sam

I absolutely love it when client suggest engagement locations. I had never heard of Chapman State Park but now, it’s one of my favorite places in the area. This venue has it all: a charming manor, tall grass fields and a small beach at the bottom of the hill. Lisa and Jason like to go […]
