Welcome! I'm a wedding photographer, wife, and mom to a sweet baby boy we call John-John.

I started this business because I believe that every couple deserves not only gorgeous images from their wedding day, but an experience that allows them to be fully present and feel absolutely incredible!

Angela and Ben were delighted when they learned their visit to Washington, DC would coincide with peak Cherry Blossom season! I was thrilled we’d be able to document this exciting time in their lives during such a special time in our beautiful city, especially because the blossoms only last a few days.
