When two of your favorite humans put on their first summit, you absolutely over commit and that’s exactly what I did these last two days with absolute joy.

I love when couples want to go sailing. I grew up in Florida on boats so anytime I get to photograph a sailboat engagement, I am a happy clam. While I usually travel to Annapolis for sailing, The DC Wharf has options now as well! Cru Classe has you covered for a Sip and Sail! […]

Val and Campbell decided to take photos at the country club where Campbell grew up. The amount of friends and patrons we ran into that knew these two was so charming. It was like an episode of Cheers. We had full run of the club and this groom to be even serenaded us with some […]
