VIRGINIA AND washington dc wedding photographer
documenting refined celebrations in VIRGINIA, dc and destinations worldwide
It’s the people you love most in one place, the history that brought you here, and the quiet, unrepeatable moments happening in between everything you planned.
The way your hands find each other without thinking. The pause just before the ceremony begins. Your parents trying to hold it together and failing in the best possible way. The moments that don’t announce themselves—but end up meaning everything later.
I’m a wedding photographer drawn to what’s real, not what’s staged. I notice the in-between moments instinctively, because I’m paying attention to how a day feels as it unfolds.
This is more than a beautiful day.
If you want photographs that feel honest, intentional, and deeply felt, then you’re in the right place.

Before reaching out, I know one of the biggest questions couples quietly carry is whether we’re the right fit — not only creatively, but personally and financially as well.
My couples care deeply about how their wedding felt just as much as how it looked. They’re planning celebrations filled with intention, beauty, emotion, and the people they love most, and they want photographs that hold onto all of it honestly and artfully for decades to come.
I take on a limited number of weddings each year so I can offer a deeply personalized experience from beginning to end — helping create space for you to feel present, comfortable, and fully yourselves in front of the camera.
Wedding collections for celebrations within Washington DC, Virginia, and the East Coast begin at 9,500.
If you feel connected to the work, I would truly love to hear more about what you’re planning.
