Tara and Cameron's wedding at Great Marsh Estate was nothing short of heartfelt. Great Marsh has quickly become a favorite venue of mine. They opted not to do a first look, but instead, they did what we call a "first touch," where you don't technically see each other before the wedding, but you get a quiet moment alone to connect before your ceremony.

Pandemic Weddings Year in Review: Washington-D.C.-Wedding-Photographer

Her younger sister Megan was the same way and was our children's baby sitter. When we moved back to Virginia I happened to walk into Charming Charlies and Rachel was there. …
Pink sky at night, sailor’s delight: Virginia Wedding Photographer
Sometimes you just need to get away from it all and rest and rejuvenate. After photographing seven weddings in May and five weddings in June, it is time to take a little R&R to recharge my creative juices and refocus my energy.

At the same time, it requires a lot of energy, sweat, and hard work …
