Meaghan and Dave had the perfect wedding that suited them as a couple. Having been to their fair share of weddings, these two knew exactly what to prioritize: family, an authentic ceremony and a good time. Meg & Dave tied the knot on October 21st in an intimate DC service under the dome of the DC War Memorial.

DC War Memorial Wedding | Intimate District of Columbia Wedding | Meaghan and Dave

This wedding was YEARS in the making. Jessie and I have known each other for years; we swam for rival colleges (me Duke, her NC State) but our teams had one thing in common: we both hated UNC. Beyond that, Jessie and I found that we had HEAPS in common. In between He’s Not adventures and swim meets we found that we were freakily similar. Style twins, teachers at heart and in general just love to have a good time with our friends. After college, we stayed in touch chatting about TFA stuff and when she got engaged, I was likely the first person to freak out on social media.

Carriage House Wedding | Destination Wedding Photographer | Jessie and Michael

Would you believe that this couple found me 2 weeks before their wedding day! Alex & Rafa are high school sweethearts and have been waiting years to become husband and wife. Honestly, their wedding was all about love, family and celebrating their relationship. Alex cared more about spending time with Rafa and her family then any details about the wedding day itself!

Intimate District of Columbia Wedding | Josephine Butler House | Alex and Rafa

It’s hard to describe the feeling when you meet two people for coffee and, after 5 minutes, you just KNOW exactly how their wedding will look! Molly and Jake described their wedding vision as ‘classic elegance’… and boy did they attain it!

Westwood Country Club Wedding | Virginia Fall Wedding | Molly and Jake

Be still my heart. This shoot was months in the making. Honestly, I designed this shoot around this darling couple. Not only because I have always wanted to photograph a red headed bride but because I just adore these two humans.

Northern Virginia Wedding | Salubria Wedding | Bri and Wes

Every year, I have couples ask me where to tie the knot! To try to help out, I decided to make a list about the Best DC Wedding Locations and it was such a hit that I decided to turn it into a little series. Here are my favorite rustic Northern Virginia Wedding Venues and below are my favorite Maryland wedding venue favorites:

Best Maryland Wedding Venues | Maryland Wedding Photographer | Couples Education

I have known Leslie for ten years. We both swam our entire lives and she was actually my recruit at Duke! In fact, she was my very first recruit when I was 17 years old. As the younger sister in my household, I was so excited to finally be able to host someone and be the “big sis”. I even have a Facebook album that is titled “Leslie is coming to Duke”. Although we became fast friends, she ended up attending Princeton and thank goodness she did because this is where she met Mason.

Mount Hope Farm | Rhode Island Wedding Photographer | Leslie and Mason

This shoot has been in my mind for years now. Ben and I considered having a Halloween wedding where all guests must come in costume! Since his brother got hitched in October, we decided on a traditional spring wedding. But what are styled shoots if not a fictional wedding you wish you had?!

I cannot say enough about this couple right here. They are kind, caring and fun-loving people who genuinely care about everyone around them. The first thing that happened when I showed up to this wedding was Caroline giving both me and Jenny (the planner) matching gifts! I am currently rocking my custom Kir2ben hat while writing this post!

Rustic Virginia Wedding | Windsor Castle Park Smithfield Virginia | Caroline and Bryce

I met this couple right here a few months ago. I was assisting on a shoot and it turned out that they were going to be in France at the exact same time I was! What are the odds! Shane and Julie are wonderful hearts with smiles that won’t quit. They share a home together with their sweet puppy dog Taco and have a life of adventure and entrepreneurship. Julie runs Sand Piper and Co and is involved in all kinds of darling wedding projects.
