Book wedding photographers in Arlington, VA

I find that the magic is in the in-between moments—the loving glances between poses, the unbridled joy after a proposal, and the quiet moments between newlyweds on their big day. Of course, I love a good pose or prompt too. With me, you'll get a mix of candid and posed photos that are true to color, letting the emotion of the moment shine. I'm also a big sucker for black and white photos, as you'll see in my portfolio. Ultimately, I want you to see yourself, your love for your partner, and the joy you two share in your photos. This is your story, your love, your family, and your moment—I'm just honored to capture it.

Photographing weddings is personal to us because we chose not to hire someone for our own wedding! When we decided to cut costs the first thing that we crossed off the list was the wedding photographer. We had family and friends take pictures and we have been regretting that decision ever since because may of our most important memories live only inside our heads! Most of our emotions and interactions with our loved ones were not captured on film.

My MBTI is a tight toss-up between ESFP (The Entertainer) and ESFJ (The Consul) and I think that represents me to the core: I’m energetic and I care. Oh, and if it helps, I’m a Virgo sun and Leo moon so I’m organized AF, detail-oriented AF and a wee bit emotional. If you want someone who "gets" you, who's a little bit of a mind-reader, who feels like a friend you've known since childhood, then hi, hello, it's nice to meet you. I'm stoked that you're here. Let's get this party started.
