Bryan + Elyse

  • An Oxon Hill Manor Wedding

Bryan and Elyse emailed us as soon as their weekend wedding festivities were over just to make sure that we had a good time and enjoyed ourselves. That’s just how they are. They are welcoming, caring and so very kind. I have been looking forward to their wedding day ever since their beautiful engagement session at Maymont Park! Their style was amazing for their engagements and it was equally as amazing for their wedding day! They both changed into traditional Chinese wedding attire for special events throughout the night and I loved how different this wedding was for us!

France, Italy & Switzerland

  • Europe Adventure 2016

Two weeks ago Michael and I left for a trip to photograph our first European destination wedding in France! It was a dream come true!! However, our adventure didn’t end there! Our good friends Jordan and Amy were also in Europe for a shoot and we planned to meet up after our work was done!! I’ll be honest, when we have a destination wedding… or really ANY wedding… that’s my only focus. Michael gets us there and I shoot my little heart out. So, when people asked me where we were going in Europe… I honestly had no idea. Michael and Jordan planned the entire trip and Amy and I just followed them around!

Eric + Courtney

  • A Mill at Fine Creek Wedding

It really feels like we were just walking around the beautiful campus of Virginia Tech in the fall for Eric and Courtney’s engagement session. I knew that their wedding day would be somewhat tied back to their VT roots but when the priest even gave a Hokie shout out, I knew that we were in the midst of some die-hard alumni! We love Virginia Tech because both my sister and my brother went to school there. However, I think Tech becomes even MORE special to those who find their soulmate there!
