Your Love Story…
Welcome - I am so glad you’re here! I cannot wait to make images with you that tell the story of the beginning of your marriage - from documenting the excitement and anticipation of your engagement to the vast array of emotions of your wedding day as you become a new family together. My hope is that years from now, the images that we make together will take you right back to these incredible and fleeting moments in time and remind you of why you chose to walk together through life.

What Couples Are Saying
Sample Wedding Gallery
Natalia & Pablo
Natalia and Pablo hosted their late spring wedding at Washington National Cathedral in Washington DC. Natalia had always dreamed of getting married at the Cathedral, and while it was a rainy day, the beautiful architecture of the Cathedral provided the perfect backdrop to their vows and emotional portraits. After exiting the Cathedral through a curtain of lavender tossed by their guests, the wedding attendees headed to the stunning DAR for an intimate candlelit dinner to celebrate the newlyweds.

Engagement Sessions
Why do an engagement session?
Engagement sessions are one of my favorite parts of the wedding planning process and a crucial way for us to get to know one another! I love that they allow the two of you the time to shine in a more casual way, capture your love and excitement during this fleeting time of your life, and of course, practice for your wedding day!
The Details
Engagement sessions are scheduled on weekdays, usually within the final two hours before sunset when the light is perfect and glowy. For the location of your engagement session, the world is your oyster - if you’d like to do something destination, let’s chat about a custom travel quote - my passport is always ready! I love when my couples choose a location that has meaning to them, however if you don’t have a specific place in mind, I have many great suggestions depending on the type of background or setting that appeals to you.
Heirloom Albums & Prints
The art that we create together on your wedding day deserves to be seen and cherished regularly, which is why I strongly believe that your images should not just live on your computer in digital form, lost in the endless iPhoto stream that we all have and never look at.
The perfect way to make sure that your beautiful wedding images live out their full purpose is to create an heirloom wedding album - your very first as a married couple! I suspect that you have fond memories of paging through your parents’ wedding album as a child and marveling over how young and in love they looked. (I know I do!) Similarly, your wedding album will be a family heirloom that can be passed down generations and stand as a testimonial to your love story and the origins of your new family.
