As a wedding videographer, I am incredibly passionate about my craft. My mission is to capture every wedding as if it were my own!

I've always been in love with love and I am truly so lucky I get to capture it as my job! I've been doing photography for 10 years now and weddings for 5. It brings me so much joy and I adore my couples. My couples tend to be sweet, laid-back, fun people who value what I do and trust my vision. Enough about me though, I can't wait to hear more about you!

I'm a northern VA-based wedding photographer who believes that finding your forever love is a gift worth celebrating! But not every love story is the same. I pour my heart into learning more about my couples' stories from the very start and tailoring their experience with me the same way I would if I were photographing my best friend's wedding... to make that magic happen, I use my secret ingredient (personal connection)! And after 2+ years of capturing couples' celebrations, I am proud of the consistent feedback from my clients, telling me that I have accomplished all of that and more!

I am a christian, that much should be obvious. I am a product of the hip hop culture, but I’ve always loved music even before I gave my life to CHRIST. When I first entered into relationship with GOD thru CHRIST there weren’t a lot godly examples in hip hop music. This has changed over the last 10 – 15 years. This shift has drawn me back to my culture and has awaken my interest in DJing. I have been spinning for 7+ years, and I never stop learning. I love playing in front of people, and there is nothing like that energy.
