I first met Constance our freshman year at Longwood University while working…… wait for it……. at the dining hall! I still remember just how sweet she was + how easy she was to talk to! One day, we got to talking about Buggs Island and how Matthew’s family had a lake house there, and low […]

From the moment I first met Laiken at PIEtech, I knew we’d become great friends! She manages to laugh at all of my jokes, has the best outgoing personality, and even has an interest in the wedding industry! Fast forward a few months and I met Bruce at work. The more I got to know […]

Let me start by saying this session was the perfect storm!! We had the perfect couple, the best lighting + we made some amazing chicken friends (what more is there to ask for)! Ashley + Steven are both from New York (say whattt!) and moved down to Virginia so Steven could follow his teaching dreams! […]

Picture this: you’ve been busy planning the wedding of your dreams and you finally book your photographer. You line up your engagement session date + everything is hunky dory… until Monsoon Season hits. It rained for days. And by days I mean DAYS. It got to a point where we never thought it would end […]

Cue- The Notebook. There was a soft rumble of thunder off in the distance. The trees were slowly blowing in the wind and you could hear the frogs quietly croaking. The storms were slowly moving along the James River + we decided last minute to move up North + Taylor’s engagement session (because who really […]

We met Walter + Christina at.. you guessed it- a wedding! Christina was actually a bridesmaid in Stephen + Emily’s wedding and we are always so honored when bridesmaids contact us to photograph their own wedding!! We loved exploring Belle Isle with these two and their massive Great Dance “puppy” Silas! No one could’ve asked […]

These TWO! There’s that moment in life when you meet two people and you just know immediately that as long as you’re part of their journey it’s going to be a blast! That’s exactly how we felt the moment Alex + Mia walked into our lives! As we were planning their engagement session and narrowing […]

We love ADVENTURE + we LOVE photographing in new locations! And let me tell you, Shelton + Brooke’s engagement session is one for the books! When we first started planning their engagement session it was completely evident that they were adventurers (which of course we love!) We knew we wanted to pick a location that […]

Not many people know that one of my absolute favorite things to photograph at the engagement session + on the wedding day are the RINGS!!! Each ring is so unique. And in my opinion, each ring perfectly describes the bride it goes with. (Fun fact, we LOVE to bring our own props with us to sessions […]

I’ve known Tyler + Julia since, well forever. We met back in high school + I’d like to say that Tyler + Julia met and fell madly in love because of me, but sadly that would be a lie. I will never forget at the beginning of their relationship, sitting in my art classes and […]
