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 […]

This is something brand new to the blog! Every year, I try to take on a personal creative project that fuels my heart. In my years in the wedding industry, I have gotten to know heaps of florists and have been fascinated by that aspect of weddings. I found that these designers attend and host […]

Flowerstock 2019 | Virginia Floral Workshop | Hope Flower Farm

Devin and Jeff are an adorable fun-loving pair. We were cracking jokes all morning even at 6:45AM. I loved being able to snap these engagements in fall because in under one calendar year, I will be back with these goofballs photographing their fall Stone Tower Winery wedding. I know they were a tad nervous being […]

The first time I talked to Victoria via Facetime, we were on the call for so long that my phone died!

Washington DC Engagement | District of Columbia Wedding Photographer Kir Tuben

When I look at these photos, I can’t believe they almost didn’t happen! Sarah and Connor decided to elope in DC this fall and thus didn’t know if they ‘needed’ engagement photos. I am so glad they decided to take these snaps in Meridian Hill Park! How many times in your life do you get […]

These two fun-loving book worms met in a library so it was only obvious that they lean into this theme with check out cards as their seating chart!
