Andrew, Nicole and I go back to what seems like forever ago! We photographed their engagement session in 2019. They were originally supposed to get married in 2020; however, we all know how 2020 went. Two postponements and a venue change later, we made it!! Even during toasts, no one thought this day would ever come. Andrew and Nicole’s Birkby House Virginia Wedding was the most magical day and for being July, the weather was incredible.
One thing I love most about Andrew and Nicole is their love for each other. They love having such a fun carefree time together and with their friends. It was super important to them to be able to hang out with friends and have a relaxed and fun time throughout their wedding day. This is my philosophy how all wedding days should be.
Once Andrew and Nicole said “I Do,” the guests blew bubbles and they danced down the aisle. Nicole said it was an impromptu move. It was the most fun ceremony exit I’ve ever seen which is 100% Andrew and Nicole. They are both so go with the flow and do all the fun things together.
Congratulations Andrew and Nicole and thank you for choosing me to capture your big day!

Spending the morning with Julianna was such a joy! She’s launching her financial planning business and needed branding images to bring her vision to life.

The charm of Rust Manor House set the stage for a wedding that was classic, elegant, and modern. Nestled in the peaceful embrace of a park, this venue provided a secluded, nature-inspired backdrop that perfectly matched the bride’s vision. She fell in love with the calmness of the surroundings, the sounds of birds chirping, and […]
When Scott first reached out about elopement portraits, he was open to any time or place that would capture the most gorgeous images to look back on. Scott and Pilar privately exchanged their vows in a courthouse wedding in Alexandria, creating an intimate start to their journey together. A few weeks later, we met on […]
Every year, fall mini sessions are a huge hit with families! They’re the perfect way to update your annual family portraits and get beautiful images for Christmas cards. In 2024, these Fall Morven Park 2024 Fall Mini sessions sold out quickly, which is why I offered three different dates at three unique locations. Morven Park […]
What do you do when the weather forecast teases rain on your wedding day, but the skies stay dry—right up until the ceremony? If you’re Daisy and Adam, you embrace the moment!
