There are weddings, and then there are Cavalier Hotel weddings. Kelly and Bryson’s celebration was the kind of day that takes your breath away — from the first quiet moments of getting ready to the last dance in the Crystal Ballroom. Getting Ready: The Hospitality Suite Kelly began her morning in The Cavalier’s luxurious Hospitality […]

As a Virginia Beach family photographer, I’m constantly inspired by families who nail their photo session styling. This gorgeous family’s coordinated look is absolutely perfect for summer family photos, and I had to share why their outfit choices worked so beautifully. The Perfect Summer Color Palette This family chose a stunning combination of whites and […]

There’s something magical about returning to a place where your love story began. This November, The D Family traveled back to the North End Virginia Beach for their family session, choosing the same coastal location where I captured their engagement photos years ago. What started as a couple in love has now blossomed into a […]

When Molly and Tommy decided to do a first look session one week before their LDS temple sealing, they chose the perfect location to make it unforgettable.

This rainy Washington DC Temple wedding took place a few days before Christmas. I can’t think of a better way to celebrate the holidays than together with your new husband! Even with rain in the forecast, we were still able to get some incredible portraits of these two sweethearts and their families! View more Washington […]

The Washington DC LDS Temple closed for renovations on March 3, 2018. Since it was the last time it would be open for two years, it was a very busy day on temple grounds. I had the opportunity to photograph TWO weddings that day! I have never seen the parking lot as full as it was that day! It was a blustery cold day, but Steven and Janette brought their A game!
Every season at the Washington DC Temple brings new surprises! Andy and Julie’s “Black Friday” wedding, in November, boasted rich colored leaves that made for some pretty amazing photos!

I first met Diana and Rylan at her BROTHER’S WEDDING in August of 2017. Diana’s mother had an unfortunate fall during the beginning of family pictures and had to be rushed off to the hospital to get stitches on the bridge of her nose. We were all traumatized in the moment but after everything it formed a friendship that I am grateful for.

Heidi and Patrick were sealed in the Washington DC Temple on the most beautiful sunny day! I couldn’t believe how blue the sky was and how the perfectly placed clouds made it look like it was painted! The temple grounds were filled with exotic flowers and it was the perfect backdrop for such a sweet couple.

August weddings at the Washington DC Temple are usually scorching hot! For that reason, I met up with Tona and Doug for a hour before they needed to be at the temple for their sealing. That way it was cooler and the light was better. We were blessed with mid 70’s and a beautiful overcast sky. When there are clouds at the temple, the spires really “pop” and it creates the dreamiest light!
