We had perfect weather for Allison and Mike's engagement session at State Circle. I can't wait for their wedding day!

Ten years together, two adorable kids, and one perfect October wedding day.

Renee and Drew tied the knot at Cold Saturday Farm with their little ones by their side as mini bridesmaid and mini groomsman.

Beautiful fall color set the scene, and when the evening cooled off, the party kept going with dancing under the stars on the patio. The chill didn’t stop anyone from enjoying ice cream from The Cow, and warm coffees from Stony Man Coffee Truck were the perfect way to cozy up.

Congratulations, Renee and Drew!

I loved getting to know Rachel & Brady at their engagement session and seeing Musket Ridge through their eyes. Can't wait for their wedding day next year!

We have been trying to make this session happen for a while now, and we finally did it. We had perfect weather, lots of laughter, and grandma got ALL the love!

Hannah & Jason are married!

A few quick sneak peeks from their wedding at The Barn at Pleasant Acres. Hannah kept her dress a complete surprise until the wedding day, and she looked absolutely beautiful. Jason’s happy tears when he saw her said it all!

I’m so grateful I got to capture these memories for you both. Congratulations to the newlyweds!

My calendar for the remainder of 2026 is almost completely booked, so if you’re looking for a session this season, mini sessions are the way to go! I plan to open one more date for winter minis (hopefully to be announced soon), otherwise availability is extremely limited.

Friday evening gave us the most beautiful weather to capture the love of Emily & Max at the same place he proposed, The Washington National Cathedral. I can’t wait to photograph their wedding next year!

Introducing Mr. & Mrs. Krenzer!

Brittni & Ralph kicked off October with a little western flair at Bortner Valley LLC. They tied the knot in the barn with the pond behind them surrounded by family and friends. After the threat of rain all week, they ended up with a beautiful warm October day with just a sprinkle for good luck!

Ralph’s cowboy hat, boots, and blue jeans set the tone, and Brittni looked stunning in her wedding gown before switching into a glitzy white party dress and tall baby blue cowgirl boots. I loved every bit of their wedding day, but her 'something blue' in those boots might have been my favorite!

Congratulations, Brittni & Ralph!
