THE JOURNAL

Underneath the azure sky and amidst the vibrant blooms of spring, Anna and Josh embarked on a journey of love, unity, and celebration at the picturesque Mt Defiance Brewery in Middleburg, VA. Their wedding day was a testament to the beauty of nature, the warmth of spring, and the joy that comes with joining two lives together.

We ran to the entrance because of the sirens. The tornado was on the ground and we had to get the bridal party and couple inside and safe. We all hid downstairs in the middle of the Airlie House with other guests while the weather moved through – waiting with baited breath to see if […]

I had the opportunity to witness the formal wedding of Kailey and Josh at Mimslyn Inn in Front Royal. They were actually married during Covid and have a young son with another on the way, but finally had the chance to have their big wedding celebration with friends and family this fall at the gorgeous […]

Andi & John were married at the Historic House at Long Branch Farm. We were lucky in that we snuck in the intimate outdoor ceremony right before the rain and then had the gorgeous historic house for some pictures post ceremony. There was a break in the weather that allowed us for group images later […]

Chelsea and Dexter had an absolutely stunning wedding at Bristow Manor. Between the stunning color palette (perfect for a late summer wedding), the old school Rolls Royce and the ethereal aesthetic, this wedding was definitely one to remember. Take a look at their flower arch; romantic, bright ceremony, and bright clean reception. Also note, these […]

Oh….these two. Hold such a special place in my heart. I originally met them at Vicky’s sister’s wedding as I was their photographer too; I snapped a pic of these two dancing because they emanated love and they hung it in their house. Fast forward a few years and they were planning a wedding of […]

Jared and Angela’s fall wedding day started off rainy (good luck in Chinese culture!) but the ran tapered off just in time for their outdoor ceremony. At one point the wind tried to carry Angela’s veil away! The cloudy skies created the perfect lighting for portraits and Meadowlark Botanical Gardens in Vienna is always the […]

Della and Andrew had a gorgeous outdoor spring ceremony bursting with flowers and sunlight. Della’s stunning dress and bouquet were a highlight with pink sprinkled throughout the ceremony. I loved her formals which were very Vanity Fair inspired. Take a look at Della and Andrew’s spring themed wedding.

  Rachel & Ryan first met for one of my favorite engagement sessions ever – during a huge snow storm in Frederick. You can read about that here. They’re wedding was held during a gorgeous fall day at the Harvest House; a Leesburg vineyard. With beautiful details and fall themed florals, one of the most touching […]
