Real couples, real moments.
Documentary wedding and engagement photography, with fine-art portraits along the way.

Ten years and hundreds of weddings, in D.C. and far beyond
From intimate backyard elopements to grand ballroom celebrations, every couple I photograph does it their own way, whether they follow time-honored traditions or forge their own paths.
I blend documentary storytelling with fine-art portraiture, so every gallery has both candid laughter and carefully composed moments.
How I work
What couples tell me they valued most
Documentary
Most of your gallery is the day as it happened: the small, unseen moments, not only the posed ones.
Fine-art portraits
Time set aside for composed portraits of the two of you, with clear, simple direction.
Calm on the day
I keep the timeline on track and work alongside your planner, without getting in the way.
Kind words
“We really wanted a photographer who could capture the small, more unseen moments, instead of only posed photos. She truly delivered in every way.”
“She managed to be everywhere without ever being intrusive.”
“Always a calming presence in hectic family times.”
“The photos are breathtaking and just stunning.”
