these two knew they wanted those classic DC engagement portraits to mark this exciting season, and man oh man did that vision come to life!

20 years of doing this job (crazy, right?!) and the couples I get to know truly truly are the very best part still! Ben and Cosi were married this past May, and I got the sweetest text from her out of the blue 8 months after their wedding saying they were scrolling through their photos again and couldn’t love them more, and how thankful she was for me to have been there.

Every detail was thoughtfully and intentionally put in place, every person there was full of joy for these two, and it truly was a dream of a day for Greg and Jackie at Stone Tower Winery here in Leesburg VA. Those spring colors popped against the vines that were in full bloom, and we used every inch of this stunning property because they built in plenty of time throughout the day to sneak away and soak it all in together.

Those fall days at Shadow Creek are what wedding dreams are made of! Stunning color, perfect weather, and incredible views. Tyler and Lana had the most perfect October day with a dream team of vendors, and it was such a joy to get to be a part of it all.

You can’t have a destination wedding without a day-after session, RIGHT?! You’re going all the way over there, you’re in the most beautiful place, it only makes sense to take full advantage of the opportunity with a ‘day after’ session with your photographer! It’s something I include complimentary with all of my destination wedding packages, and i’m so thankful Taryn and Woody took me up on the offer and were willing to spend one more evening with me and my camera.
