As fate would have it, I met Darcy & Kevin literally days before they got engaged. They were at the wedding of Darcy’s college friends, Matt and Claire, who were married in a Chapel Hill, NC wedding that I photographed in December. The day after the wedding, these two flew down to Texas to spend time with […]

It’s no secret that Rob and I love to travel, but the hardest part about leaving Washington, DC for a new adventure is always having to say goodbye to Granger. She is definitely a human lover — most dogs she could take or leave, but she has to be around people to be happy. So […]

I believe that February is the perfect month for reflection. The hustle and bustle of returning to normal life after the holidays consumes most January and it takes a few weeks until we have a moment to breathe.

And her Francesca Miranda dress from Soliloquy Bridal? It was seriously a gown fit for a princess! […]

Belle Lumière was one of the very first blogs I followed when I started this new journey as a Washington, DC wedding photographer so many years ago; I loved their online journal and how they seemed to be so much different from so many of the traditional wedding blogs. They are absolutely a source of […]
