I knew this was going to be a beautiful wedding day when we drove up to the Aspen Wye River House in Maryland and there were perfect portrait locations in every direction! Just wait until you see the road of pink petals that took my breath away! It was such an incredible honor for me to be a part of Jennifer and Jay’s big day last weekend…Jennifer is the type of bride that every photographer hopes for and that every girl wants as a best friend.

I met Brandon and Eleanor at the incredible First Landing State Park in Virginia Beach last week for their engagement session and it’s definitely one of my favorite locations to shoot. I grew up spending lots of weekends exploring this park and riding bikes around it with dad, so going back to it always brings a sense of nostalgia. It turns out that Eleanor grew up playing at the same park with her family!

Their paths first crossed when they were freshman in college and living in the same dorm…they started studying together and that was the beginning of a life long friendship! It wasn’t until years later that they realized their relationship might be something more…and they finally tied the knot last weekend in a beautiful church in Williamsburg, Virginia surrounded by family and friends!

We met at the beautiful Belle Grove Plantation about an hour north of Richmond, Virginia on a gorgeous spring evening for Chris and Danielle’s engagement session. As I drove up the tree lined driveway and saw the house off in the distance, I could tell right away that this was going to be an incredible!
