Eric and Nikki were one of the very FIRST couples to book me to shoot their wedding…I remember walking into Panera where we had planned to meet to discuss their plans and seeing them sitting at a booth together talking excitedly…and I knew right away that they were perfect for each other. He’s quieter, she’s more bubbly…and they just balance each other out perfectly! I love when that happens. Nikki and Eric go so well together and I’m so excited that their wedding date finally came! It was simple and fun and you could tell that Nikki and Eric have so many people who really care about them. Their love for each

I’d been looking forward to Marie and Jack’s big day since I met them in Georgetown for their engagement session back in the spring! These two are so fun and have such great, classic style so I knew I was going to love being a part of their wedding day at The Hendry House in Arlington…

Laura and Max will always have a special place in my heart because they were one of the very FIRST couples to book me for their wedding…To me it is always such an incredible honor to be chosen to be a part of my brides and grooms’ wedding day because they are trusting me to capture memories of one of the biggest days of their lives! I loved Laura and her vision for her wedding from the very first time I met her to talk about her wedding plans…she’s creative and has a really unique vision and I love that! I LOVE when couples put their heart into their wedding day because it marks the beginning of life with

Josh and Rachel are one of those couples that everyone loves…they have a certain way about them that makes them so fun to be around because they are not afraid to have fun and never seem to take themselves too seriously….and I knew shooting their wedding was going to be a lot of fun! Especially because on top of having the best, easy going personalities, they are also an absolutely gorgeous couple! A few things small things didn’t go as planned on their wedding day (which happens on MOST weddings days I would argue…), but you would never know it because Rachel was just so thrilled to be marrying
