I almost felt selfish snapping this engagement session because Kelsey and Graham only have so much precious time they get to spend together since they are long distance!

Fall is here folks! Rebekka and Devon are soaking up all the leaves and warm tones because next year they’ll be tying the knot in October in sunny Florida… but hey, I love a good beach in fall! They met as most 2020 couples do: online. After 2 years together, they knew that they were […]

Right now, a lot of my couples are unsure how to navigate their wedding plans. The aspect of these conversations that really breaks my heart is when couples are hesitant to celebrate with a small ceremony because they feel it might take away from their big wedding celebration in the future. 💍 Firstly, I understand […]

Some couples are meant to come into your life. That’s how I feel about Becca and Malcolm. We met March of 2019 at Becca’s brother’s wedding and I absolutely fell in love with the Moore family. Once Becca and Malcolm got engaged, I was over the moon that the gang would be celebrating another epic […]

You know it was a good engagement session when you make plans for Happy Hour later after meeting for the very first time. I met these two as a ‘one off’ engagement; every year, I get heaps of people wanting a destination DC engagement and are planning to get married at home in another state […]

I knew I would love photographing Josie and Ben because for weeks beforehand, Josie and I texted back and forth about which ensembles we liked best! Attention to details is my favorite as I have massive style OCD. I also never met a Ben I didn’t absolutely love! These two had been photographed before but […]

The majority of the time, I don’t know what my clients look like. A handful of my engagement clients, I only exchange emails with and have no idea what they will wear or even their partner’s name! When these two showed up, I nearly died. How stunning are they!? Not only did they show up […]
