Wedding photographers in Virginia Beach know how to catch a day as it actually unfolds, from quiet glances during getting-ready to the joyful blur of a first dance. Some shoot candid and documentary style, chasing genuine laughter along the Oceanfront boardwalk, while others favor a timeless, classic frame that suits a Town Center ceremony. You'll find warm, filmic storytellers who love golden light over the Chesapeake Bay, and bright editorial artists who make the most of an open sky at First Landing State Park. From salty ocean air to the quiet woods of Pungo, this city offers a real range of backdrops and light.

I pay attention to the little things, like the details within your wedding dress and suit, your grandma's speech, the florals you picked out, and the candid moments. I will always offer assistance if a couple would like to be posed, but in your experience with me you'll find that I try to capture all of the real and raw emotions of your day without interfering.

Both our photo and video work lean heavily into editorial-inspired posing and lighting, so you end up feeling (and looking) like you belong in the pages of a fashion magazine centerfold. We're definitely not your mom's recommended photographer as you won't catch us delivering corny, awkward images - just stunning, elegant photo and video that continuously captivates in the coming decades of your love story.

I truly believe photography is the most timeless form of art. Photos are a way to relive a moment. When it comes to your wedding day, you want photos that show not only how beautiful the day was, but how much emotion was there. That’s where I come into play. I will show all of that emotion-the laughter, the tears, the memories through photos that you’ll be able to cherish forever.

I played field hockey for The Ohio State University and graduated with a bachelor's degree in Strategic Communications. When I was at Ohio State I interned for the Ohio State Athletics Communications department where I learned about photography and videography. Since graduation, I have been living back home in Virginia Beach working in the corporate world, and currently at Booz Allen Hamilton full time in Norfolk. I am also a lead videographer for Whitecaps Film, and I love creating movies for couples about their love story!

Weddings are a vibrant culmination of so many phases of life. But not just your life, the lives of your families and friends and guests. Finding how to capture that for each person's wedding is the challenge that has drawn me to wedding photography. It's not just ensuring that people are comfortable in front of my camera, but it's the times when you don't even know the camera is there and you're sharing the occasion with the people around you. Photography shouldn't be a duty to perform on your wedding day, but a way to preserve the memories for life.

Seeking out real moments is my drive. The small moments that happen in between the big ones - The father giving his daughters hand a squeeze before they walk down the aisle, the flower girls well prepped and watching with big eyes as the day unfolds, to the one guy (or gal) on the dance floor that is totally feeling Earth, Wind and Fire's Dancing in September (because let's be honest, I'm feeling it too). Every moment of the day is important to me. I don't have favorites because the magic sometimes happens in the quiet moments, sometimes in the unexpected moments and sometimes in the perfect light. I'm here to find that magic with you.
