Virginia Portrait & Wedding Photography

With a lively mix of jewel tones, the warm light of an early October day, and two people who couldn’t stop smiling, it was the kind of celebration that reminded us why we love photographing weddings so much. The best part is that these two found us by accident!

Lexi is a sweet friend of mine — she was actually one of my bridesmaids — so getting to photograph her and Jarett’s wedding day was such a meaningful honor. Being trusted with moments like these never gets old, especially when the couple is as loved as these two.

Abi and Liam tied the knot in early March 2025 at a small church in Greenwood, Virginia, and their wedding was a beautiful reminder that you truly don’t need a lot to have a meaningful and elegant wedding day.

Amelia and Jonathan’s late-November wedding at Melrose Caverns was the kind of day that reminds you how sweet simplicity can be.

Every season in the Shenandoah Valley has its own personality — just like every wedding day. Lighting and landscape can shift things a bit, but the heart of your photos stays the same: timeless, genuine, and intentional. Here’s a quick guide so you know exactly what to expect.

Rachel and Steven’s wedding at Showalter’s Orchard and Greenhouse in Timberville, Virginia, was one of those celebrations that stays with you long after you pack up your cameras — warm, joyful, meaningful, and filled with the kind of moments that remind you why wedding days are so special.

It was an unusually warm November day — nearly 70 degrees, with a perfect mix of sunshine and clouds — and we were treated to one last touch of fall color before the season fades completely.

The Shenandoah Valley showed off with the most vibrant fall backdrop, and the mountains in the distance framed this wedding day beautifully.
