I know it’s a little cliche to describe someone as being beautiful on the inside and out, but I can’t think of a better way to describe Kelsey and Sam. It’s clear from when you first meet them that they are both pretty stunning on the outside. But what you soon learn after that is that they both have hearts of gold. They have been such a treat to work with and get to know during their engagement. They even both texted/messaged me at 1am after the wedding to make sure I got home safe! Such sweethearts!

Gotta love that Virginia weather. Sweet Mandi and Brett were so patient when we had to reschedule their engagement session THREE times due to all this rain we’ve been having! Then we finally found an evening with zero percent chance of rain only to be greeted by a nasty thunderstorm when we arrived! But you know what, it actually worked out for the best and made for some sweet shots in the rain!

Happy Monday! Hope you all enjoyed the much needed dry and sunny days we had this weekend! I’m definitely sick of all this rain! And the rain dried up just in time for Kelsey and Sam’s wedding day in Woodbridge this past Friday! I seriously cannot wait for Wednesday to show you guys the images from their wedding!!

Brunch and breakfast food are two of the most wonderful things on this earth. Sinead and Ben love them so much that they planned their entire wedding day around it! Early morning ceremony, mimosas, breakfast tacos, chicken & waffles, donuts- the works!! This was my first brunch wedding and it was kind of amazing. Not to mention, I was done at 3:00!! What?!

One of the perks of putting on a wedding photography workshop is also putting together an amazing styled shoot to go with it! I paired up with my dear and very talented friend, Kelsey, to put together a dreamy southern styled shoot at The Historic Post Office! The April workshop attendees were in for quite a treat when they got to photograph this gorgeous setup! And now that it’s been featured on Inspired By This, I can share the images with you all!!

Since starting my business I have never had a designated office space, or even area, for doing work. My ‘office’ was the couch, the dining room table, the bedroom, wherever. And I can’t really complain about working from the couch, but sometimes I just really craved a designated space for work where I could really focus and be productive. Not to mention, an actual place to put my photography equipment would be nice instead of having it sprawled all over the living room 24-7! So when we bought our first home last year, I was so excited to turn the 3rd bedroom into an actual home office!
