For over seven years, my career has been to capture the magic of weddings and the exceptional people behind them. No love story is alike, which is why I strive to get to know you and your partner and align with your priorities. My clients want a photographer who is there for more than just pretty pictures - they’re looking for a genuine connection with someone they trust to create an intentionally crafted experience. I’ve photographed over 100 couples in love and still get excited when someone new sends me an email! The trust my couples place in me is not taken for granted, and I believe it’s a privilege to get to be a part of each wedding day.

My photography focuses on joyful, fine art images full of color and genuine emotion. I use a combination of artistic direction, dynamic lighting, and attention to detail to capture timeless, vibrant portraits that balance the composed with the candid, creating photos of moments that endure.

my core values

01. love is love

I believe in serving all couples regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, nationality, skin color, or religion. Inclusion, respect, and kindness are top priorities in my business and no matter your story I'm honored to photograph your love.

02. being a wedding photographer is a privilege

It's not lost on me or my team that you are inviting us to be a part of an incredibly significant day. I take that honor and responsibility very seriously and focus on keeping you in the moment while I make sure we capture heirloom images for you. You can trust I'm deeply honored, passionate and excited for every wedding I photograph. 

03. photos should be a reflection of you

Every love story is original and beautiful in its own way. My job is to spend time getting to know you two as individuals and as a couple. I focus on building trust with both of you and understanding how best to capture your love, your guests, and your wedding day. The most important part of my approach is building an intentional, custom experience.

my best friend

i've been with

Despite both being Loudoun natives and living fifteen minutes apart most of our lives, Kyle and I didn't meet until college. After being introduced by some mutual friends we've been together pretty much ever since! Over the past nine years we've grown up, graduated and moved twice together. We eloped with just our immediate family during the height of the pandemic and just recently celebrated with a big wedding in fall 2022.

Squirrel

We have one cat,

We adopted this cute, furry ball of energy when we moved into our second home. After growing up with Ragdolls, I was so excited to come across this cutie online at a rescue shelter in Maryland. After one month of fostering and helping her adjust to living in a home, we adopted Squirrel. While she's still skittish like her namesake, she's now our little shadow and loves to cuddle up every chance she gets!

the hole in my pocket is

My junior year of college I spent three months living in and falling in love with London. It became my second home while I studied and created my desire to travel as I city hopped on the weekends. To date I've visited over 12 international countries and most recently spent 3 weeks in Thailand. Next up is a family trip to Ireland in summer 2023, with sights set on Argentina, Croatia or South Africa in 2024.

When I have a free weekend you'll likely find me exploring a local winery with close friends or heading into D.C. to check out the best new restaurant with my husband. We're just at much as home in the kitchen though and love to spend evenings improving our cooking skills and testing out new cocktail recipes. I almost always have some kind of true crime podcast on in the background and love cozy nights in binging Netflix or diving into a good book just as much as I love hosting a party.

is spent on

As a former experience designer, customization and client service are primary focuses in my business. You and your partner’s time working with me is carefully crafted to be the best fit for you both. Just like your love story is unique, so is your wedding experience. This begins with your initial inquiry - from the start you receive bespoke collection options customized to your needs and priorities.

Your photos are the only investment from your entire wedding that increases in value over time, so I’m committed to serving my clients, their families and guests to the best of my ability. To care for each couple, I only take on a limited number of weddings each year.

Regardless of the details,   the heart of your experience is your individual love story.
