BESPOKE
After our initial conversation, your proposal is tailored to your vision and needs. This allows you to create the coverage of your dreams.
TIMELESS
Our timeless approach to telling your story allows longevity and relevance of your heirloom album.
DELICATELY DIRECTED
When the moments naturally happen, we will be there to catch them. When they don't, we will delicately direct you, making moments happen for you to enjoy for generations to come.

A desert girl with a heart that will always partially reside in Maryland. I am stoked that you landed on this tiny space of the world wide web, and I hope that you stick around a bit! Since you stopped on in to get to know us, I will hop right to it. I am a mamma, wife, and story teller with a general obsession for puppies and food. I started this journey of photography looking through old photo albums with my grandmother and playing with the hundreds of disposable cameras we had. Even though it has always been a passion of mine, photography wasn't my first career. With a background in education, I come to every wedding day with a teacher's heart, compassion, patience, guidance, education, management, love, HUGS & fun (plus the occasional ninja move, of course)!

THE DETAILS MATTER | You will find us adjusting the placement of your jewelry, fluffing your dress, moving salt and pepper shakers from your tables so your photographed details shine, and asking Uncle Joe to clean out his pockets and remove his sunglasses during family photos.
WE CREATE TIMELINES WITH YOU | We create a timeline for your wedding day to ensure we are able to capture everything you dreamed of while staying present with your lover, family, and friends.
IN-HOUSE EDITING | We don't believe in outsourcing our editing. As your Maryland Wedding photographers, it is our job to cull and curate the best photos that we know will mean the most to you and edit them true to color to accurately tell your story.
ONE-WEDDING WEEKENDS: We capture one wedding a weekend. We don't believe in triple headers! Our focus is you and being rested, prepared, and on point for your big day.
