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 […]

We got in the car at the end of the day, and the first words I said to Danny were, “God really blesses His people.” Caitlin and David’s wedding was a beautiful testament of not only God’s love for His people, but His people’s love for Him, and for each other. One thousand guests — […]

Every detail had fallen into place. Their months and months of planning had finally paid off with a dazzlingly beautiful fall day, brimming with all the DIY and personalized details Molly and Oscar had conjured up. There was Molly’s broach bouquet, adorned with pins from both sides of the family. There were the wonderful treasure […]

They had worked long and hard — and secretly — to prepare for that one part of their wedding. And then the lights dimmed, the music washed through the room . . . and the new Mr. and Mrs. Levy owned the dance floor. That’s kind of how Tammy and Marc’s wedding felt all day: Not […]

Four-year-old Caitlin (the flower girl) looked at twenty-something Caitlin (the bride) as they waited for the call to line up for the wedding ceremony. One Caitlin said to the other, “I — I’m ready to be a flower girl.” The other Caitlin replied, “You are?! Well, I’m ready to be a bride!” One Caitlin was just […]

As Molly and Oscar sat at their sweetheart table, champagne glasses in hand, Melisa rattled off the traits a middle-school-aged Molly had counted as musts for her perfect guy. “Height: Between 6 feet and 7 feet,” Melisa  read. Molly nodded and the guests laughed. Her groom is well over six feet tall. “Eyes: Brown,” Melisa continued. […]
