Beyond the lens, I’m a proud mama to two beautiful girls and engaged to my best friend. We met on Hinge over five years ago, and the rest is history. I grew up in Southern Maryland, but moved to Southern Virginia to build the life and family I prayed for. When I’m not documenting love stories, you’ll find me soaking in the little moments with my girls, enjoying slow mornings, or dreaming up our next family adventure.

Richmond is home to some of the most romantic and architecturally stunning wedding venues in Virginia. These iconic locations offer timeless charm, refined backdrops, and a sense of grandeur that perfectly aligns with the editorial, fine art aesthetic I bring to each celebration.
While I’ve photographed at several of these venues and am familiar with the layout and lighting of each, I approach every wedding day. Whether it’s my first time at a venue or a return with intentionality, creativity, and deep preparation.
Dover Hall – A European-style estate offering ornate interiors, grand staircases, and moody elegance perfect for film photography. Discover more: A Romantic Fine Art Wedding at Dover Hall
The Estate at River Run – Sophisticated and serene with its sweeping river views, white columns, and luxurious bridal suite. See Alissa & Andrew’s River Run wedding
Historic Mankin Mansion – A romantic venue rich in history and detail, combining vintage charm with Southern hospitality.
Northfield Estate – A countryside gem with modern touches, rolling hills, and a bright, open feel for effortlessly elegant weddings.
Virginia House – A Tudor-inspired manor with ivy-covered stone walls, terraced gardens, and old-world romance at every turn.
No matter where your celebration takes place, I work closely with your planner and venue team to ensure the setting is photographed with care, artistry, and attention to the little details that make it feel like yours.
