Making the Most of a Rainy, Windy Beach Engagement Session Not every engagement session goes exactly as planned. Sometimes schedules are tight. Sometimes the clouds roll in. And sometimes, the wind has other ideas. But as this beautiful couple proved, a little imperfect weather is no match for real love. This beach engagement session in […]
Downtown Richmond is one of Virginia’s most stunning backdrops for photography. The historic brick buildings, cobblestone streets, and golden light make it truly magical.

Alexa & Brian | Cavalier Hotel and First Landing Engagement Session | Virginia Beach Fall Engagement
There are weddings, and then there are Cavalier Hotel weddings.

The Sheraton Virginia Beach Oceanfront was the perfect location for Amy and Joe’s wedding! They were surrounded by so many loving friends and family members.
We’ve been waiting all year for Martha and Joey’s fall wedding at the beautiful Gaie Lea in Staunton, VA. I say “we” because I was photographing their wedding while my husband, Justin of Gibby Visuals, was filming it. We LOVE working together! It’s like an all-day date 😉 As parents of two young children its rare that we get to spend the entire day together! We will take it any way we can get it!
When Abby’s mother first reached out to me about photographing her daughter’s wedding we immediately had so many connections. I have known Abby’s grandparents for years and two of my past brides (Shelby and Kim) referred them to me. I loved seeing all the friendly faces at the Washington DC Temple and at the Chesapeake Noah’s Event Venue!
Kim and Stuart’s Washington D.C. LDS Temple post was so full of gorgeousness that I knew their reception would need its own space on my blog. Temple Wedding Fact: There are 155+ operating temples for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day-Saints throughout the world. Some regions have many within a short distance, while other areas require members to travel long distances to attend. The state of Virginia does not have a temple, so when members of the church are looking to get married (or sealed as they call it) they travel to The Washington D.C Temple in Kensington, MD. It is 3.5-4 hour drive from Virginia Beach depending on traffic. Once it even took me 8 hours to get home because I-95 was a parking lot–yikes!
Leslie and Payton were sealed for eternity on a chilly December day at the Washington DC Temple. When I first met them at their Richmond engagement session, I instantly fell in love with them. They are such a sweet couple and have so much love for one another. Their family welcomed me with open arms and I immediately felt so at home with them.
