I spent a cloudy evening in Richmond with K & J visiting some of their favorite spots in the city! After a long winter, it’s so nice to see flowers blooming in front of the row houses. I love incorporating second outfits and locations during engagement sessions, and the Virginia State Capitol gave me DC vibes without the crowds! I’m looking forward to this sweet couple’s wedding day at @mankinmansion next year!

E & P said, “I do,” on Dover Hall’s Bluestone Terrace this weekend, and they couldn’t have had a prettier April day. Their wedding day was full of beautiful personal touches, like lovingly thrifted pieces. Colors like soft green and blush gave the whole day a romantic feel. I’m so happy for these wonderful newlyweds!

March ended in C & N’s beautiful wedding day! I loved the pastel, Bridgerton-inspired colors they chose, and we even managed to grab some photos with the venue’s cherry blossoms. Congratulations to the newlyweds, and happy spring! 🌸

I can’t wait to return to a few favorite venues this year, and visit some new ones! I always make an effort to walk through venues before the big day to find the best photo spots, make rain plans, and meet with other vendors. Attending a walk-through ensures I can spend more time being creative and less time troubleshooting!

Being able to see grass again after weeks of ice is doing wonders for my mental health. Spring is on its way, and with it comes wedding season and cherry blossoms! If you’re planning to see the blooms this year, a few things to keep in mind:

Go on a weekday
Get there early
Plan to walk, metro, or Uber

Are you planning to visit the cherry blossoms this year?

I love it when my couples find ways to honor their fur babies! If you’re planning to bring your pet to your venue for photos, or to your engagement session, I recommend assigning a friend to help. If they can’t be present at your wedding, there are still so many ways to incorporate them into your day. I have seen many a cardboard cut-out on the dance floor, as well as personalized cocktail napkins, invitations, and signage featuring beloved pets!

For a wedding vendor, it’s not just about the wedding day. It’s about all the preparation leading up to the day itself. For your wedding photographer, it’s helping you work on timelines, discussing your priorities, and advocating for what you want. It’s walking through the venue with you and finding all of your favorite spots. It’s about sunset timing, getting you to your cocktail hour, and making sure you have time to breathe.

Before your wedding day, we’re getting on phone calls, talking about fun things like colors and flatlays, and not-so-fun things like rain plans.

All of this is so that on your wedding day, the only thing left to do is soak in the moments.

When the weather turns cold, we go indoors. The National Gallery of Art is a beautiful spot for winter engagement photos. I had a wonderful time getting to know E & P during their session, while taking in all the gorgeous pieces the gallery had on display. I’m so excited to see them again for their wedding at @dover_hall this spring! Despite the snow, the thought of warm-weather weddings is getting me through!

They say a wet knot is harder to untie, but you never would have known it was pouring outside on C & S’s wedding day. This sweet couple kept their focus on the most important things to them: their faith, their community, and each other. From their first touch at the bridal suite door, it was clear that this day promised joy that would carry them into their life together.

The last wedding of the year truly put me in the holiday spirit 🌲 J & J we’re married at the Chesapeake Bay Beach Club, where the sunset is absolutely perfect. As 2025 comes to a close, I want to congratulate all the wonderful couples who tied the knot this year. Cheers to all the newlyweds, and happiest holidays.

Out of all the local engagement session spots, the Jefferson Memorial is the one I’ve visited the most often (15 times in two years!). It’s one of the first places listed in my engagement session guide, which I’ve curated over the past few years. I now know what time is best to get one of my favorite views of the Washington Monument, which helps me maintain the flow of the session and ensures that my couples get the most out of the location.

As the temperature drops, this memorial remains a perfect all-season option for engagement sessions.

Should you do an engagement session? While I’ve always recommended doing an engagement session for a number of reasons, not every couple may need (or even want) to. An engagement session is a great way to get to know your wedding photographer, and can help you feel more confident in front of a camera before your wedding day. However, an experienced wedding photographer should be doing the work behind the scenes to ensure that even if you’re meeting for the first time on a wedding day, there’s no awkwardness. Communication is the crux of your experience. If you’re not planning to have an engagement session, that shouldn’t mean that you don’t know what to expect on your wedding day!
