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 […]

Julianna and Kurt’s Virginia Beach engagement session….where do I even start? Aren’t they such a stunning couple? They have been dating since she was 16 years old! How cute is that? When I got their inquiry, she told me that I had photographed her brother’s wedding and I got so excited! See her brother’s past […]

Gracie + Brent This Hermitage Museum & Gardens engagement session was so much fun! Gracie and Brent met at a dog park in Norfolk, so it was only natural that they brought their two pups, Jace and Buoy to join in the fun! Aren’t they adorable? I love it when couples incorporate their dogs into […]

Engagement sessions are my absolute favorite! I have such a blast getting to know my couples during this time. It’s a chance to get comfortable with each other and gives us the opportunity to talk about the wedding day.

I had the best time with Joyce Anne and Mike at their First Landing State Park Engagement Session! I love engagement sessions because I get to know the couple and talk all about how they fell in love and what they like to do together.
You won’t want to miss hilarious moments and find out how Mike intercepted an arranged greek marriage. hahah!

Daniel met Jessica, at their church’s singles ward, six long years ago. She was successfully finishing up the last two years of her dental hygiene degree in Richmond. She caught many of the single guys’ attention, including Daniel, for many reasons. In the words of Daniel, “She was committed to her faith, kind to everyone, fiercely loyal to her friends and family, and absolutely gorgeous!”

Martha and Joey are the sweetest couple ever! They live all the way out in Bristol, VA. And the fun thing about Bristol is that it splits the states of Virginia and Tennessee. There is a sign that crosses State Street that shows the dividing line. How cool is that!? It was pretty much like A Walk to Remember when Landon crosses off one of Jamie’s bucket list items off by standing in two places at once. WATCH THAT CLIP HERE. If only there wasn’t traffic and we were really able to do that. haha!
