Dylan + Lexi’s Isle of Palms Proposal Dylan and Lexi were visiting Isle of Palms from California for a beach vacation with Lexi’s family, but Dylan had something much bigger planned for the trip. His parents even secretly made the trip from California so they could be there to celebrate with them afterward. The sun […]

Maria and Ahshiyn’s session was one of those evenings that just kept getting better as the sun went down. We met at Station 18 on Sullivan’s Island, just outside of Charleston, South Carolina, and spent the evening wandering between the dunes, boardwalk, and beach, basically chasing the light until there wasn’t much left. A Couples […]

A full weekend in Washington, D.C. made the perfect setting for Caroline and Dane’s wedding celebration. From an intimate welcome gathering the night before to portraits among some of the city’s most iconic architecture, their weekend felt equal parts elegant, personal, and full of life.

For this Baltimore engagement session, we spent the afternoon exploring Mount Vernon before making our way inside The Walters Art Museum. With historic architecture, tree-lined streets, and gallery walls filled with art, the different settings gave us so much variety while still feeling connected from beginning to end. Their neutral wardrobe was perfect against the […]

For this summer engagement session in Columbia, Maryland, we spent the evening wandering through tree-lined paths, open fields, and quiet pockets of greenery as the sun began to get lower. We started beneath the trees before making our way into the open fields, letting the changing light and landscape shape the session as we went. […]

A Spring Wedding in Virginia Beach Spring weddings always have a certain feeling to them. The gardens are in bloom, everything feels fresh, and the day naturally lends itself to spending time outdoors whenever possible. This April wedding in Virginia Beach was filled with thoughtful details, beautiful spring florals, and so many joyful moments shared […]

This was such a sweet morning to photograph. What started as a walk along the beach turned into a surprise proposal, followed by champagne, their two dogs running around the sand, and plenty of time to celebrate being newly engaged. He had a picnic waiting by the water, and once they made their way down […]

A relaxed afternoon exploring Paris, from coffee at a neighborhood café to quiet streets and the beautiful paths of Luxembourg Gardens.

There are very few places that feel as effortlessly romantic as Paris. Every street seems to lead somewhere beautiful. Morning light spills between the Haussmann buildings, cafés begin to fill, and the city slowly comes alive in a way that feels unmistakably Paris. This session wasn’t about checking famous landmarks off a list. It was […]

New York City is one of those places that never runs out of inspiration. Around every corner, there’s beautiful architecture, bustling streets, and a rhythm that’s completely its own. It’s a city that somehow feels both grand and personal at the same time, making it an unforgettable place to celebrate. Set against the Manhattan skyline from Sound […]

Lohanna and Maxim’s wedding at Sound River Studios was such a fun one to photograph. Think crisp black tie, an all-white space, sculptural florals in shades of blue and green, and so many incredible little details. The entire celebration had this really cool mix of modern and romantic, with a little bit of a fashion […]

There are some locations where you could wander around for hours and still keep finding new places to photograph, and Maymont in Richmond, Virginia is definitely one of them. We spent this summer afternoon exploring the gardens and grounds for their engagement session, starting among the trees before making our way through some of Maymont’s […]

Alyssa and I headed out to a field in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania for a creative portrait session surrounded by wildflowers, tall grass, and all of that deep summer greenery. We kept the plan pretty simple and gave ourselves room to experiment as we went. We wandered through the field, followed little paths through the flowers, […]

One Location, Endless Variety One of the things that makes Winterthur Museum & Garden so special is how much variety it offers within a single session. In just one afternoon, we photographed against historic architecture, tucked-away gardens, grand stone staircases, and lush woodland paths—each setting bringing a completely different feel while still creating a cohesive […]

Some wedding inspiration begins with a color palette. This one began with texture. From the sculptural silhouette of the gown to the layered floral arrangements and softly draped fabric, every element was thoughtfully selected to create depth, movement, and visual interest. Rather than relying on trends, the design focused on timeless materials, organic shapes, and […]

There’s something so fun about a winter engagement session in the middle of the city, especially when there’s still a little snow on the ground. We started this one at the Fulton Theatre before heading outside and wandering around downtown Lancaster together. We didn’t have a long list of places we needed to hit. Instead, […]
