I don’t know how to put this yearly post into words. Like many, 2020 was slated to be my best, most profitable year yet… but make plans and the universe laughs. When the pandemic shutdowns began, I assumed quarantine would be over by fall. Welp, the joke was on me and I am always reminded […]

I will always think of this wedding as the “Father of the Bride” wedding. Back in 2019, this couple planned on getting married at the Andrew Mellon Auditorium with hundreds of guests. Once the pandemic hit, Catherine and JC knew they still wanted to tie the knot in November no matter what to Julie of […]

Did you know you can self-officiate your own wedding? Neither did I until 2020! Krista and Chris eloped at the historic Inn at Little Washington, just the two of them. Chris officiated the ceremony as they read hand written vows to one another. After a few portraits, they checked into their room and popped some […]

2020 sucked y’all. So many lives completely rocked and hard times fell on nearly every living person all over the world. There’s no denying that the events industry was completely decimated during the pandemic. Limited gathering numbers had brides postponing to next year, downsizing to micro-weddings or cancelling all together. I saw hurt and pain […]

Jen and Matt were one of a handful of couples who kept their original wedding date in 2020! I absolutely loved the team they chose for their wedding and was so happy we were able to make this day magical for them! They not only tied the knot during a pandemic, but moved across the […]

I have been waiting to photograph these two for MONTHS. Back in summer, I met these James and Joanna for drinks with their lovely planner (shout out to Pamela Barefoot Events). We chatted all about wedding day and I fell in love with their vision, couple chemistry and immediately settled into a comfortable joking state […]

Catherine and Max are a darling pair that just moved to the DMV area for work. These dog parents met in undergrad at Furman University in Greenville, SC. Like many couples this year, they had to postpone their wedding until next year due to COVID. Fall will be quite the season in 2021! They are […]

Anna and Daniel had never been to Oatlands park before… SAY WHAT!? They certainly picked the most perfect fall day for engagement photos! This property is massive and really gives so many spaces for photos: historic mansion, secret garden and rolling mountain views. Since Anna’s last name is Oak, there is even a giant oak […]

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 […]

As doctors, no one knows the pandemic more intimately than these two. I think that’s why Kacey and Dan went through with a masks on ceremony in 2020. They knew there is no guaranteed end date to COVID-19. In fact, they originally had planned this brunch wedding at an entirely different hotel! Mere days before, […]
