Your wedding day is a carefully planned celebration, and I’m with you every step of the way to make sure it’s captured seamlessly. I work closely with my couples on scheduling, site visits, and lighting considerations, making sure everything flows smoothly while keeping costs low where possible. Through my local connections, I can also provide guidance on helpful resources to make planning easier. On the day itself, I don’t just document—I engage. I take the time to socialize with your guests, making them feel comfortable so that every moment feels natural and every image reflects the energy of your day.
An engagement session isn’t about posing perfectly—it’s about capturing the two of you as you are. I focus on natural, candid moments, helping you feel comfortable in front of the camera so your connection comes through effortlessly. As I always say, awkwardness comes through really charming on camera, and that’s why I make it a priority to chat, connect, and keep things relaxed, making the experience feel more like a conversation than a photoshoot. Whether we’re exploring DC’s historic streets or a meaningful location of your choice, the goal is to create something that feels authentic to you.
A proposal is all about the moment—one filled with anticipation, emotion, and surprise. I work meticulously behind the scenes, helping you plan exactly where and how it will unfold, including site visits if needed. I stay as discreet as possible, allowing you to be fully present while I capture the moment naturally, without interruptions or distractions. I understand that photography can sometimes feel “in your face,” but for proposals, I make sure it’s anything but—so you can focus entirely on your partner and the unforgettable moment you’re creating together.
