I'm a published wedding and portrait photographer located in a small town outside of Charlottesville. In addition to capturing beautiful images, I love spending time with my family, am freakishly good at word games (Hey Wheelmobile!), love an ice cold can of Coke or Dr. Pepper, know every line to Hocus Pocus and can never pass up a Chick-fil-A waffle fry or a trip to HomeGoods.
There’s nothing I love more than spring and this spring wedding inspiration styled shoot hosted by Nilo Burke had me swooning, so much so that I’ve broken it into two separate posts. Nilo chose the beautiful Stevenson Ridge as the location for the shoot. The popular Spotsylvania, VA wedding venue has everything a bride could […]
There’s something about winter light that I love and Raspberry Plain Manor in Leesburg, VA is full of it. Although it feels like we don’t get many hours of sunlight in winter, what we do get is glowy and gorgeous especially in the afternoons. This shoot, organized by Shannon Ensor Photography, definitely took advantage of […]
I love all things beach, especially the Outer Banks. My husband and I usually visit a few times a year–once in the on-season for a week with family and then again for a few days in the off-season, either spring or fall. It was during one of our fall trips that I was able to […]
It’s Cinco de Mayo and what better way to celebrate than with a fiesta? I’m a taco girl and I love bright colors so this fiesta wedding inspiration photo shoot was a dream come true. The shoot was held at Snead’s Asparagus Farm in Fredericksburg which is one of my favorite places. If you’ve never […]
Chelsea and Quartez had a beautiful Fredericksburg wedding on a gorgeous June day at the Spotsylvania American Legion building in the Fredericksburg area. The two said “I do,” in front of family and friends before dancing the night away under a sea of twinkling lights. Chelsea and Quartez’s wedding was a long time coming for […]
My first communication with Sarah was via email back in April. She was planning a wedding in Surry the first Saturday in May and was seeking a photographer for herself and her fiancee, Will. She said they’d been together nearly a decade and that her favorite photo was of the groom seeing his bride coming […]
Back in August, on what had to be one of the warmest days of the year, I attended the Southern Grace Workshop hosted by Sarah Houston Photography at Rounton Farm. The farm has become a popular local wedding destination, offering a beautiful barn with gorgeous scenic views nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge […]
Last spring, I attended the V.A. Photography Workshop at Tuckahoe Plantation in Richmond. The venue is gorgeous and the workshop was amazing. As part of it, V.A. Photography owner Ashley organized a secret garden wedding inspiration shoot. It was cold and damp, but that didn’t stop the beauty of this shoot from shining through. The […]
A drizzly, grey, cloudy Fredericksburg day couldn’t get in the way of Justin and Morgan’s wedding day happiness. These two had smiles on their faces all day, from getting ready through the sparkler sendoff. Each spent the afternoon with their friends prepping for the ceremony with Morgan downstairs laughing and posing for photos with her […]
The threat of a hurricane and a little rain didn’t stop Teresa and Steven from celebrating their big day earlier this month. The two were married in an intimate ceremony at St. Edwards Catholic Church in Richmond, followed by a reception at The Boathouse at Sunday Park. It was easy to tell that family is […]
