I have been wanting to shoot a sunflower engagement session FOREVER. McKee-Beshers is by far the best location to see sunflowers in bloom from late June into July! They have a handy map that shows all the best sunflower field locations as well!

Sunflower Field Engagement Session | McKee Beshers Engagement | Marla and Dustin

I adored working with Naghmeh and Saman on their wedding day. Both the bride and groom knew the value of an authentic wedding. They also completely trusted me to capture their special day to the best of my abilities. The first shot featured here is actually taken in a parking lot during golden hour! Who would have guessed!

River Creek Club Wedding | Northern Virginia Wedding | Naghmeh and Saman

I have known Charlotte forever! We swam on the same club team in high school in Boca Raton, Florida. She was always a breath of fresh air and so fun to be around. She is not only stunning and kind but she is also a Marine! Charlotte’s commitment to her country lead her on a journey to meet the love of her life: Joe.

Manassas Battlefield Engagement | Virginia Summer Engagement | Charlotte and Joe

“I’ll never forget the first time Ryan came to visit. After a weekend of hanging out, we were all sitting on the couch in my apartment when Alison got up to go get something from the kitchen. Without really thinking, Ryan blurted out.. ‘Oh man, I am so freakin in love with your best friend.’

Classic Virginia Hotel Wedding | Crowne Plaza Tysons Corner | Alison and Ryan

Well, we did it! We made it one full year as a married couple. Although we have known each other for about a decade and have been together for 6 years, there is something so special about the first year of marriage. I really do feel like Ben and I work as a team, sometimes to a fault.

In Home Session | One Year Married | Personal Post

Lauren & Robbie were probably my favorite wedding of the year. Not only because they were the sweetest, most genuine couple to work with but also because they fed into my Halloween obsession. If I could plan a wedding to photograph, this would have been it. I was obsessed with every last detail from their back story down to their décor choices.
