Friday was the perfect fall wedding day. The sun was shining and albeit a little chilly, the love Polina & Matt have for each other and their sweet little family warmed everyone’s hearts all day long. Polina & Matt met in college and Matt knew immediately that Polina was the one. Their love for each […]

I was SO excited when I first heard from Kyle and he shared all about his plans to propose to Elise during their DC getaway! Photographing a proposal is like the unicorn of wedding photography. As a photographer, it’s not something I get to do ALL the time, but when I do, it’s absolutely magical. […]

Every detail was such a beautiful representation of their love story. From the beautifully unique location […]

How perfectly sweet is this family, y’all? I met these 3 at Green Spring Gardens last week for their family session and it was an absolute perfect night. This “fake” fall weather we’ve been having (we all know there’s bound to be a second summer at some point – this is VA!) has been giving […]

I knew I would love Kat & Doug the minute I sat down with Kat for our consultation. We met for wine (my fave), she’s a dancer and loves the performing arts, and they’re Caps fans! Seriously, the best! I absolutely loved hearing about their relationship – they met in college, Kat was the girl […]
