Churchill Downs Wedding KY

Hello blogging world! I am back! I’ve taken a few years off to have babies (yes, multiple babies if you didn’t know!), but that’s a whole other blog post. This post is all about Tanner & Celeste and their incredible colorful Churchill Downs wedding day. I see so much of myself and my husband Matt […]

The Gardencourt was the perfect spot for their #Brunetsoi·rée with its incredible architecture, lovely gardens, and old world charm. The history geek in me loves all the historical/vintage venues. Kathryn’s dress literally made me giddy and the fact that she was ecstatic to just twirl and enjoy her dress makes her my kind of gal! Peter gave his groomsmen custom engraved pocket watches, which is one of the neatest groomsmen gifts I’ve seen. The flowers were perfect, the food was tasty, the weather was awesome, and the dancing was on point!

Jon & Amanda have an enchantingly kind quality about them that just poured over into every aspect of their wedding day: the stunning old mansion, lovely flowers, family-filled wedding party, personal touches, and sweet, sweet interactions. It was just a wonderful day that I know I won’t forget anytime soon!

Tristan & Lauren: Classic Nautical Engagements

Being from the western side of Virginia, I’m always surprised when I hear friends say that they are “boat people.” But I’m learning more and more that boating and being on the water is a way of life loved by many, and that includes these two! Tristan & Lauren met and live overseas, and more […]

Zach & Laura: Fall Lake Lanier Engagements

It’s finally starting to feel like a real fall and this engagement session is a perfect picture of that! The colors of the leaves are beautiful around the lake and Zach and Laura looked so fall-esque in boots and sweaters. I love it!  Zach and Laura are seriously “the cutest” as I told them at […]

Owen & Hannah: Classic Downtown Richmond Engagements

Growing up in southwest Virginia meant that I didn’t visit Richmond often. If I did, it was on a school trip with very specific stops preplanned for me. I never really thought much of the city. It’s our state’s capitol and way more of a city then what I was ever used to. But that […]

Douglass & Blair: Yorktown Beach Engagements

Photography is a unique business in that it is both a service and an art. And because of those two elements, it can be hard balancing customer service and artistic vision. That’s why after couples inquire about my services, I’m looking for someone who has looked through my portfolio and likes what they see and […]

Robert & Shannon: Romantic First Landing State Park Engagements

It feels like it’s been raining here in Virginia for weeks. Days pass by where the sun was no where to be found. The ground has been saturated with water and every where you step there’s a big patch of mud. I prayed the whole weekend that the sun would soon shine again! And wouldn’t […]

But I have been loving slowly getting back into the swing of photography. Ben & Hannah are dear friends of ours. We love them and their family and I was […]

Michael & Morgan: DC Cherry Blossom Engagement Session

Living in southeastern Virginia, I don’t visit DC often. But when I get the chance to photograph an awesome couple during the cherry blossom peak, I am all for it! These cherry blossoms are the perfect backdrop for any photo, but especially for some romantic engagements! We were at the Tidal Basin with about a […]

Colby & Callie: Northern Neck Engagement on the Rappahannock

It all started on a snowy day 2 years ago. Two guys were locked out of their apartment. Seeking warmth while they waited for a replacement key to arrive, they knocked on a door. Two women answered; they offered a warm place to wait, good conversation, and dinner. It was then that these two met and […]

Jay & Stephanie: Smithfield Engagement Session

Have you ever heard of the six degrees of separation theory? I don’t know how true it is in every situation, but I do find as I keep getting older that the world feels smaller and smaller. I keep meeting incredible people who know other awesome people who are already in my life and it’s […]

Spencer & Kelley: Eyre Hall Garden Eastern Shore Engagements

The Eastern Shore of Virginia is such a beautiful, but overlooked area of Virginia. I love the views of the water and the quaint feel of the farmland and history. It’s my kind of place by the sea instead of in the mountains. Kelley is an Eastern Shore native. She and Spencer met at college […]
