Chris and Beth – Sodus Point Lighthouse | Sodus Point, NY Wedding Photographer

I love going home. To my first home, where I come from. What makes it even better is to share in the celebration and love of some great friends. My friends Jessica and Brian were married a few years ago (blog post here) in Canandaguia, New York, on the same lake I was married on in 2001. A few weeks ago, I traveled back,…

Kaarin and Navin – Morrison House | Alexandria, VA Wedding Photographer

Kaarin is a former yoga student of mine. Navin is her best friend. Kaarin and I began working together on a project called Jackie and Marilyn. She runs a company called Closet Caucus, which helps build women up on the inside, by helping them shine on the outside. She’d do her thing, and I’d do mine, giving excited women a makeover and a photo…

Honey and Chuck, Part 3 | Pensacola, FL Wedding Photographer

Part Three of Honey and Chuck’s wedding weekend.  Before we dive into photos, I have to say that one of the things my husband and I love so much about living in Maryland is the southern hospitality that we’ll encounter once in a while. It’s quite the distinction from where we are from New York, and certainly from the hustle of living in DC. Well, southern hospitality must…

Honey and Chuck, Part Two | Pensacola, FL Wedding Photographer

Honey and her bridal party got ready at Pensacola’s Lee House, the owners are great family friends, and the owner is like an aunt to her. Honey was one of three brides at the bed and breakfast that morning, but I’m told she was the most important 🙂 Honey’s childhood friend did her hair, and that of all of the bridal party.  Sitting in…

Honey and Chuck | Pensacola, FL Wedding Photographer

Honey, Chuck and I met here in Washington, DC, when I did their engagement session. Though their pooch Bo stole the show then, they wowed everyone with their out of this world wedding in Pensacola, Florida. Honey’s Bridal Luncheon was held at the Pensacola Country Club, an elegant and light-filled space perfect for an intimate gathering. Honey’s mom, Jeanne, planned a picture-perfect look for…

The Best Wedding Album Ever

My great-grandfather took these images of his daughter’s (my grandmother’s) marriage to my grandpa. I know he hand-created the album, so can only assume he also developed and printed the negatives and prints. Actually, knowing first-hand the legacy of perfectionism in my family, I’m fairly certain of that. The date in the bottom corner says July 14, 1945. I am not sure “cute” is…

Springtime in the Park

Emily and Steve were such a great couple to shoot with. Relaxed, healthy and totally in love, they arrived for their engagement session just a few weeks out from their wedding day. They really prioritized intimacy for their wedding, and stuck with a very tight 30-person guest list. I’d love to hear if anyone else has been able to make that happen?! Anyone who…

Trish and Roberto – Rockville Hilton | Rockville, MD Wedding Photographer

Okay, I have too many selects here to write a ton. Except to say that Trish and Roberto were the loveliest, calmest bride and groom at their gorgeous wedding yesterday. The love and support that they very clearly share with each other was so evident in their families and bridal party as well. What a blessing to be a part of their (seriously perfect)…
