Weddings and Engagements

They say the real wedding takes place in the heart...

It does not take place in the ballroom, church, or synagogue. What if you could capture both the ceremony and the true wedding in pictures?

I believe in capturing the special and sentimental moments. I work to look not only for the moments, but for the emotions and I take the photographs that communicate both. I have spent the past decade as Richmond, Virginia's premier wedding photographer perfecting just that skill.

I also believe in taking meaningful, honest portraits. Your engagement and wedding portraits will be more than standing with smiles plastered on! I believe in capturing the real you, the real "us" between the two of you, and the real moments throughout. There are no awkward smiles staring at each other. I talk and walk you through the entire session making it as natural as walking through the park.

I do not believe in cookie-cutter photography. The best thing about the medium is it allows me to make your collection of photos about you. Each engagement session and wedding I photograph is a direct reflection of who you are as a couple and I work tirelessly to tell your story.

One of my favorite styles of weddings are nontraditional. These are some of the best reflections of the couple! On a boat? I'll bring my sunscreen. Lightsabers? Let's wait for the sun to go down so I can get the glow and capture Jedi vs. Sith! I'm flexible, easy-going, and I love new ideas and places to photograph. I see every location, engagement session, and wedding as a challenge to rise to!
