Because magazine-worthy images won’t matter if they don’t document the moments that actually mean something to you.
As a wedding photographer in Northern Virginia & DC, I guide my couples to think about what people and feelings matter the most to them. Then I carry that knowledge into their wedding day, along with a knack for capturing unscripted moments as they unfold.
Stunning wedding photos aren’t the goal. They’re the bare minimum.
Wedding Photographer in Northern Virginia & DC
Of course wedding photography is about storytelling. But what story we tell? That’s not just up to me. (After all, your wedding photos are for you.)
When you hire me to photograph your wedding, we’ll sit down to figure out what photos are must-haves and how you want your day to feel.
Your images will capture your day in its entirety: the spontaneous joy, the precious family photos, the experience you created for your guests.
Telling the story of your wedding-together.

Your wedding photos are too special to be viewed while you’re in line for a self-checkout kiosk at Target. We’ll sit down together so you can relive the day—from the moment you first saw each other to the last song on the dance floor.
viewing party
Relax, focus on each other, and enjoy having all your people in one place. I’ll be there to document the day, from the way you glow when you look at one another to the smiles on everyone’s faces when the late-night pizza delivery arrives.
Your wedding day
Our planning call serves two purposes: one, to map out the order of events and understand the must-have photos. (Even though I call myself a documentary photographer, I know that there are some portraits you can’t not have.)
And two: to get to know the two of you— and what you value—on a deeper level. The more I can think like you on your wedding day, the more I’m going to capture the photos that you really, truly want.
I also take time to explain how the day will unfold, so you know what to expect and when.
Our planning meeting
You’re going to spend a lot of time with your wedding photographer. So this is your chance to get to know me and figure out if we’ll go together like chips and salsa. We’ll talk about what you want out of your wedding day photos, and what style of photography you like.
Not only will I tell you about my overall approach to weddings, but as I learn about your plans, I’ll share how I’d photograph your wedding.
Our first meeting
Your wedding photography experience, from start to finish.
