Happy Valentine's Day everyone! You know I went to the store this morning to get my husband a Valentine's card, and whelp, apparently I'm a little late on this. The cards were so picked over, and while I did find him a card, I can't say it's the best ever. Sorry honey! I got to thinking about this and you know what, it's such a good sign that they were practically sold out of cards. It means there's a whole lot of love going around today! We're going to have a meal at home, but I did …

Lina & John at Silverbrook Farm: Virginia Wedding Photographer
I hope all of you find yourselves having a wonderful week so far! This time of year is always a good one for me because it's typically my slower season. It's a time for me to catch up on long neglected tasks and to focus on album design projects. Last week I went through and totally cleared out my master bedroom, closet, and bath.

Jon & Paige Married at Shadow Creek: Shadow Creek Wedding & Events
My what a year 2017 was! It was so fulfilling for me both personally and professionally. I was able to serve so many couples and stop time, just for a day.

In a world that chooses to focus on the ugly and profane in the news, …
Tips for a Rainy Wedding Day: Virginia Wedding Photographer
I just got back from NYC and even though the weather wasn't the best, I always have such a great time up there! I even got to see a flash mob in Central Park and a wedding party being photographed at the park in the rain. It got me thinking about these rainy days and how we deal with them on a wedding day. Over the course of photographing 100++ weddings over the last several years, it is rare that I've had to deal with rain on a wedding day. Statistically I know that I should have …
Alex & Matt Married: Riverside on the Potomac Wedding
Alex and Matt were married this past September in the most idyllic spot that is Riverside on the Potomac. This farm is literally on the Potomac River and it is connected to horse farms and rolling hills. Every time a bride e-mails and says she is getting married at Riverside, I get a little giddy and excited because that's how much I love this venue. Alex and Matt met while they were in college. They were set up on a date by Alex's friend, I don't think either of them would have thought that …
