By the time Sam & I finally met, it was like we already knew one another. She grew up in Stafford, VA and was friends with my brother-in-law, Tom and his wife, Katie. Not to mention that she also went to JMU… Oh, AND she met her fiancé, Matt, there as well! (If you remember […]

I know I say this all the time, but I have been blessed with some seriously amazing couples during my many years as a Washington, DC wedding photographer. Each and every one of them are unique in their own way and it’s fun learning about what sets them apart. I’m not just talking about what […]

I have known Colleen for a seriously long time — like basically since we could walk. She and I attended the same church together where we grew up and lived in Palmyra so we went to school together through graduation. And well, if you don’t live in Palmyra, let’s just say that it’s a pretty […]

Throughout the entire 2014 season as a Washington, DC wedding photographer, I can honestly say that every couple I worked with was very kind and welcoming; however, Catherine and Christian took it to a whole other level. They were married on one of those incredibly hot July days and instead of being worried about sweating for pictures […]
