Shannon and Ali were married on a beautiful August day at Rocklands Farm Winery in Poolesville, Maryland. Their Rocklands Farm wedding infused traditions from their Persian and Irish heritage, and it was a beautiful union of two families coming together. Shannon and Ali first tied the knot in a traditional Persian ceremony, which included the […]

Last Thursday I headed down to Old Town Alexandria in eager anticipation for Lucy & Sean’s engagement session. I popped into a Starbucks to recharge…and then the skies went dark, and the sheets of rain came pouring down. Yikes! Then, a ping on my phone from Lucy: accident on the GW Parkway. Double yikes. But […]

The weather is actually behaving in Maryland this week, so I’m throwing it back to this epic summer wedding at the Bayfront Club in Edgemere, Maryland. Remember that epic heat wave we had in July? Julie and Mike got married during that (with an outdoor ceremony, might I add), and they were absolute CHAMPS about […]

I am so excited to share Chloe and Nathan’s beautiful summer wedding at the Winslow Room in Baltimore. Situated in the Parker Metal Building, the Winslow Room was the perfect setting for Nathan and Chloe to tie the knot, pairing romantic with industrual. We started the day at the beautiful library at Hotel Indigo in […]

I just returned from a breathtaking week-long safari in Kenya and Tanzania. Our trip spanned four locations, including Amboseli, Lake Manyara, the Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater. The only animals I had photographed prior to safari were my dog and those of my clients, so photographing wild animals in their native habitats was a fun challenge.  […]

DAR Constitution Hall is one of the most iconic Washington, DC wedding venues. The tall marble columns and views of the Washington Monument make it a complete show stopper when combined with the O’Byrne Gallery for wedding receptions. I shot Genta and Josh’s wedding at DAR Constitution Hall back in April and can’t stop smiling […]

Last September Darren and I spent a delightful week eating and drinking our way across Barcelona. If you manage to visit just after Labor Day, you’ll find the weather quite agreeable and the crowds starting to thin out. We loved exploring both the city and surrounding areas including Costa Brava, Montserrat, and Girona. Shot on […]

I have a life long love affair with books (I mean, my wedding venue was in a library!), so when Genta and Josh suggested the Library of Congress for their engagement session, my heart skipped a beat. The Library of Congress in Washington DC is equally stunning indoors and out. We were amidst the government […]

I can still hear the sound of Abigail’s joyful laughter, two months after the wedding. Abigail and Matt are so beloved by their friends and family, and threw one heck of a winter wedding party at the Josephine Butler Parks Center in Washington, DC. When I first met the couple and they told me they […]

Is there anything more romantic than celebrating your love in a new country? I spent Thanksgiving photographing these lovebirds at El Mangroove in Papagayo Guanacaste, Costa Rica. If you’re thinking about an anniversary session in Costa Rica, pack your bags and head to El Mangroove, pronto. It’s such a quiet, tranquil location with beautiful grounds […]
