BESPOKE
Our initial conversation provides us the opportunity to get to know each other and secure your date. Your coverage can be unique to you and range anywhere from 8 hours to a full weekend of fun. Each proposal is tailored to your vision and needs.
TIMELESS
In generations to come, our timeless approach to capturing your love story won't distract you with trendy edits or discolored skin tones. We are here to capture images and video with longevity and relevance, showcasing true to color tones with an extra dreamy quality.
DELICATELY DIRECTED
There are times during your wedding day where we capture what unfolds before our very eyes. Documenting the smiles, cheers, and happy tears without interrupting the moment. During portrait times, we will be there to delicately direct you into sharing moments that create memories to last a lifetime.
our method
JOYFUL. TIMELESS. ROMANTIC
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 | We pay very close attention to the little details so you don't have to. Whether it be fixing your hair, adjusting your necklace, temporarily removing salt + pepper for your table detail photos, or asking your great aunt to sit her purse down for family photos, these are things we notice.
WE CREATE TIMELINES WITH YOU | We work together to create a timeline for your wedding day to eliminate stress and ensure we capture everything you dreamed of while staying present with your lover, family, and friends.
IN-HOUSE EDITING | Editing is meant to be done by the artist. If we outsource our editing, how can we properly tell your story? As your Virginia 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 | If we capture multiple weddings in a weekend, there is no way for us to be our best for you. That's one we only work one wedding a weekend.
WE ALSO CAPTURE VIDEO | Jessica's husband, Michael, is our creative videographer, creating unique wedding films for each of our couples.
