Rachel & Bryan were such a joy to capture. I first met Rachel and her family while we lived abroad in Panama a few years ago. At that time Rachel was a college student and would come to work at the US Embassy during her summer months off. She was always so cheerful and had a smile on her face every time I saw her. 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. …
Brittany & Jeff Married at Bluemont Vineyards: Virginia Wedding Photographer
Getting my blogging on and I know it is about time. Jeff and Brittany's wedding in May at Bluemont Vineyards was gorgeous. The morning of the wedding I ran up to the vineyard to checkout the grounds and make sure it was in suitable condition for shooting.

Jay & Motrya Married at St. Dominics: Washington D.C. Wedding Photographer
Jay and Motrya were married this past May in a very intimate affair at St. Dominics Catherdral in Washington D.C.

We spent time at Iwo Jima and then we headed over to the Jefferson, which is always a stately place and perfect for …
Sean & Erin Engaged: Virginia Wedding Photographer
Sean and Erin came to me as a referral from one of my past wedding clients and I have to say, I'm fortunate that most of my wedding clients refer me to their friends and family. What makes this so ideal is that usually people they refer are a lot like themselves and I know that if we've worked well together in the past, photographing their friends will be a similar experience. It's really the greatest gift my former clients have given me. June in Virginia was unusually cool and we even had …
Erin & Eric Married at Stoneleigh Golf and Country Club: Loudoun Wedding Photographer
Erin and Eric had been booked for over a year and it was hard to believe when their wedding was over because it had been such a long time coming. Erin's love for all things vintage and lace really shined through with the decorations planned and executed by Kelley Truxel of Event Studios. The wildflowers added the little bit of whimsy to the day and we were so fortunate that despite little droplets of rain, the ceremony was highlighted by sun breaking through the clouds. The week before the …
