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.

Shadow Creek Weddings: Sarah + Joe
Sarah + Joe's Shadow Creek Wedding Shadow Creek is a stunning wedding venue in Purcellville, Virginia. Whenever I get an inquiry to photograph a wedding there, I cross my fingers that the date is open, because I just love shooting there. Not only because the venue and setting are so bucolic (Western Loudoun County is hard to beat), but because the owners, the Carlyle family, are the sweetest folks you could ever meet. They really do a good job improving on their venue year after year. …

I knew the moment I laid eyes on that dress that it was going to be a great day! I guess you could say it was love at first sight. I mean, who doesn't love a …
Featured in The Knot, Lauren & Steve: Leesburg Virginia Wedding
From the moment I met Lauren & Steve, I knew immediately that I wanted to be part of their wedding day. It was an immediate connection and I just knew that their love story was one I wanted to tell through photographs. How they met just cracks me up! They were on a blind double date, but they weren't each other's dates. Half way through their blind date, they had a little pow wow with the other couple and everyone decided to switch their dates in the middle of the date!! Lauren & …
