This is probably one of my favorite sessions of the year so sorry for the oversharing! Daniel is actually technically my nephew (although he is our age). He and Jill got engaged this past year and started planning their chic DC wedding. Like all 2020 couples, COVID reared its ugly head and threw their plans […]

Irene and Matt had big plans to have a grand wedding in Pennsylvania this year but, like everyone wedding planning in 2020, COVID had other plans.

When your parents have been best friends for years, you know your personalities will be an epic fit! These two will have no problems with the in-laws… if anything, it will be harder to plan wedding seating with all sides wanting to hang out together! Kiara and Panayioti were one of my favorite couples to […]

This was one of my favorite days of the year. I had never met Kelsey and Nate before this but had been working behind the scenes to make sure it was the most memorable day. These two traded their massive Oklahoma wedding for a backyard soirée with 10 people. Not once did they have a […]

Is there anything better than being in love and engaged? Anela and Seamus were just adorable all over DC!

Lincoln Memorial Engagement Session | Rock Creek Park Engagement Photos | Aly and Shlomo

This session could not have come at a more perfect time. Kacey is an essential healthcare worker but she happened to be on vacation during this stretch of time!
