WEDDING Photography for joyful couples

Charlottesville & Richmond, Virginia & Beyond

The smallest seconds of your wedding day are the most meaningful. As you vow your life and love to each other in front of your closest family and friends, I’ll be the photographer that captures it all – the candid reaction of a first look, the genuine joy of your wedding party, and the timid thrill of the first dance. And while these picture-perfect moments may be fleeting, your memory can live on through cherished photography. 

that value meaningful moments, intentional details, and timeless imagery.

While I vow to give you timeless, true-to-life photographs, I want to be the comfortable friend that calms your nerves, the sounding board through the planning process, and your cheerleader throughout marriage.

My photography style features soft, true-to-color imagery that will never go out of style. I use natural light and love capturing candid moments and dainty details that evoke the raw and real emotions of your wedding day.

My approach to heartfelt wedding photography goes far beyond the photos.
