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.

2026 is off to a beautiful start 🍾

To me, flatlays will always be “in.” When a couple has put so much love into the little details, they should be captured with just as much care.

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!

I love this time of year, and have a lot to be grateful for as both a mom and as a small business owner. If I had to pick one thing to be most thankful for this year, it would have to be “family,” but in an all-encompassing sense of the word. My husband, my children, and their wonderful grandparents, aunties and uncles (and a few fur babies) make every day brighter. I have to include my children’s friends and my “mom friends” as family. From summer evenings at the pool to weekly ballet classes (and currently surviving Nutcracker season together), we’ve spent 2025 building community, support, and incredible friendship.

Don’t forget to tell your favorite people that you love them, and have a safe, happy Thanksgiving!

Maymont has quickly become a favorite engagement session spot this year. K & H made an hours-long drive down to Richmond to catch the fall foliage, and I’m so grateful they did! I can’t wait for their wedding at @great.marsh next summer.

Ceremonies at sunset—just one more reason why I love fall. A & C’s wedding day started with overcast skies that turned cotton-candy pink as they said their vows. Their candle-lit reception was warm and romantic, accented with beautiful reds and pinks in their florals. Cheers to these wonderful newlyweds!

Golden hour in the district ✨ it was such a joy to photograph S & J in DC a few weeks ago! Their session was very special because Sara is the sister of a past bride! It was so nice to see her again at such a special time in her own life, and I can’t wait to photograph their wedding next summer!

C & J’s wedding was a celebration of fall, from the gorgeous foliage surrounding @raspberryplainmanor to the autumnal tones in their florals. It was a joyful (and windy) day, filled with warmth and love. Best wishes to these sweethearts!

You just can’t beat that early morning light ✨ G & T had their sunrise engagement session on Halloween morning in DC, and the Library of Congress remains one of my favorite spots in the district. I love the peeks of fall foliage with the sunrise, and their session was such a lovely way to finish out October!

“I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.” I’m convinced there’s nothing better than fall in Virginia, and the foliage was really showing off for E & I’s wedding day. They were married in an intimate ceremony with their closest family and friends at @mortgagehallmiddleburg and I’m obsessed with all the beautiful colors. A huge shout out to the wonderful vendors who helped make this day run so smoothly!

More of Maymont of this past weekend 🪷 Golden hour looks amazing on Angie and Jared. We certainly got our steps in (and had to combat a number of homecoming dance photo shoots), and I had a wonderful time strolling through the gardens with them. I can’t wait for their @great.marsh wedding next year!

Traded sunrise for golden hour in two back-to-back engagement sessions ✨ I got to spend the weekend exploring Maymont with two wonderful couples. I’ll start with Isabel and Mehron. We’d had to reschedule their session due to rain, and I’m so happy that we had the most perfect weather this weekend this week. They truly leaned into the joy of just spending time together, and I really enjoyed getting to know them as we made our way through the gardens. I can’t wait to see them again in the summertime for their wedding!

I love engagement sessions because not only is it a great opportunity to get to know your photographer, but it’s a chance for me to see how you naturally flow together!

The cake is one of the most iconic details of a wedding day. Some wedding cake trends I’ve been loving this year are Lambeth-style cakes, sentimental or statement toppers, and private cake cuttings!

I kicked off the holiday weekend with J & J’s gorgeous wedding day at Birkby House, and I’m just in love with every detail.

The summer I cut down my screen time.

Social media fatigue is real. A big part of small business is marketing yourself and thinking about posts, captions, hashtags, and algorithms. It’s the less fun part of a job that brings a lot of joy, so I’m working on slowing the scroll.

Still not over this beautiful summer day in the gardens ✨

Still not over this beautiful summer day in the gardens ✨

You’ll become emotionally invested in your couples and still think about them years down the road.

You’ll tear up while editing photos of the groom dancing with his grandmother or the bride’s first look with her dad.

You’ll try engagement session poses with your own partner and realize those lifts are harder than they look.

The word “hangover “ will take on new meaning when you’re driving home after a 10-hour wedding day.

You’ll always be grateful your job lets you see days full of love and joy.

All wedding vendors have their own ”must-haves” on wedding days, and these are some of the essentials I can’t go without!

Another photographer recommended Loop earplugs once the dance floor opens and since I’ve started using them, my post-wedding “hangovers” are (mostly) gone! Protecting your hearing should be a priority!

I wear two cameras for most of the day, so my double harness keeps everything within reach. I got mine from Etsy, but they can be rented too!

A video light for sparkler exits, handheld fans, plenty of snacks and water, and a folding wagon to hold it all round out my wedding day essentials.

Not to be cliche, but a positive attitude is the most important thing I can bring to a wedding day! What are your must-haves as a vendor?

These dainty @bellabelleshoes remind me of Cinderella’s glass slippers! Don’t forget to break in your wedding shoes before the big day, and bring them along for alteration appointments. Whether you’re planning to wear them all day or you’re ditching them once the dance floor opens, make sure your shoes are comfortable and functional!

I loved exploring DC with S & B a few weeks ago! We started at the Jefferson Memorial before heading to the Library of Congress. My first engagement session was at the Library of Congress, and it’s still a favorite spot. The doors don’t open until 10am (don’t forget your timed ticket), but the outside of the Library maintains soft lighting well past sunrise. If you’re planning to go inside, I recommend getting in line early!

C & S’s wedding was like a love letter to June. After a week of unpredictable weather, the sun came out to shine for them. The word I would use to describe Carly and Sam is “classic.” I love the mix of white and blue in their florals and details, and I’m obsessed with Carly’s bow-accented shoes. Cheers to a summer of full of love!

As the temps climb this week, I’m thinking about M & B’s perfect weather this past weekend! Friday’s wedding was bright and summery, with bold, citrusy colors and sunny skies. Even more beautiful was the way these two families joined together to celebrate this the couple. There was so much love among all who gathered with them. Congratulations to these sweet newlyweds!

As a wedding photographer, I love getting shots of the dress during details hour. There are so many ways to display it, but my new favorite has been on a mannequin. It ensures the dress maintains its proper shape from all angles, and I love hanging the reception dress behind it! Your wedding dress is more than just fabric. It’s the one of the most personal choices you’ll make during wedding planning, and a tangible heirloom. It deserves to be displayed in all its glory.

What’s your opinion on flatlays? Personally, I love jumping right into detail photos at the beginning of a wedding day. The details set the tone and fill in the story of the day. From the rings to the invitation suites, the details represent who the couple is. As long as my clients want these photos, I’ll very happily do them!

What do you think of flatlays?

What’s your opinion on flatlays? Personally, I love jumping right into detail photos at the beginning of a wedding day. The details set the tone and fill in the story of the day. From the rings to the invitation suites, the details represent who the couple is. As long as my clients want these photos, I’ll very happily do them!

What do you think of flatlays?

K & C are married! My second wedding of the weekend was at Rose Hill Manor, which coincidentally is where I was on June 1 last year too! This couple and their families were just the sweetest, and it was hard not to feel emotional during their vows and toasts. They participated in a traditional Paebaek ceremony, during which family members wished them well (and tossed dates and chestnuts to symbolize future children). It was truly a special day!

After an afternoon of rain and clouds, the sun finally came out in time for H & T to say, “I do!” The bride’s family lovingly designed all the floral arrangements, to beautiful effect in the light-filled space at @theatriumatmeadowlark . When the gardens closed, we had the whole place to ourselves! Congratulations to these sweet newlyweds!

Dreaming of sunny summer days on this rainy morning. Georgetown is one of my favorite spots in the district for engagement sessions. It’s beautiful year-round, and I love its cozy neighborhood vibe. Best of all, it has some great cafes for post-session sweet treats (my fave is @bakedandwireddc ).

When you start planning a wedding, suddenly and inevitably, waves of opinions also come rolling in. It’s easy to lose sight of what feels like “you” in a sea of (mostly good-intentioned) ideas. If you want your wedding gallery to feel like a true reflection of your relationship and values, talk with your partner about what matters most to you. There is no right or wrong way.

Feels like summer in the District 🌹 I loved walking through the Bishop’s Garden with J & J at the National Cathedral. I can’t wait to see these two again later this summer for their @birkbyhouse wedding!
