I've
always been
storyteller.

But I never set out to be a photographer. I was (and still am!) going to be a writer. And then as I worked toward that writing goal, someone put a camera in my hand and asked me to try telling stories with something besides words. So with an English nerd's love for character and tone, a romantic's love for poignant beauty, and a realist's love for imperfection, I dove in.

I've
always been a
story-teller.

That was back in 2010.

Since that time, photography has changed much of my life. It's brought me some of my dearest friends. It's reshaped the way my husband Danny and I view serving others. It has even literally taken me around the world. One thing that hasn't changed: my soul-stirring desire to tell stories that feel so real you're sure you knew them before you heard them. Or saw them. It's my privilege to tell those stories for my clients, and for the generations of their families still to come.

Really, is there anything more simply elegant than a vineyard wedding? Maybe a vineyard wedding with one of the most gorgeous color palettes I’ve ever seen, the Blue Ridge Mountains as a backdrop, and a snazzy vintage getaway car. Yes, it was as fun as it sounds, and today Sharon and Harrison’s wedding is on […]

Not quite one month ago, Claire and Bill’s dreamy, romantic wedding just about stopped my heart with all its prettiness. The gorgeous flowers, the filmy lace gown, the elegant venues, the antique touches. It was the stuff wedding dreams are made of . . . and clearly, I wasn’t the only one who thought so. […]

Fall is starting to settle in around us (even if it still feels like July in many parts of the country), but let’s take a little step back in time to a mild spring evening at the beginning of June at the University of Virginia. We were there to meet Sharon and Harrison for their […]

If there is just one word to describe Laura and Sam’s wedding in June, it is “classic.” From her Pronovias gown and simple updo to their church ceremony and understated wedding cake, it was truly, classically beautiful. Which is why it only seems appropriate that their wedding is featured on Classic Bride today! Check out […]

Now seems like the perfect time to revisit Kristy and Nick’s gorgeous April wedding under the oak trees at Princess Place. Kristy and Nick lovingly gathered and planned every detail of their day. Her exquisite eyelet gown. His striped bow tie. The most darling cake! And so much love between those two. They had planned and […]

Well, I’ve been on a bit of a media blackout this week since I don’t want to see the results of Olympic events before I watch them on tape delay each night . . . so Nikole and Arun’s feature on Le Magnifique totally slipped under my radar! Time to fix that. I’m going to […]
