The most breathtaking images are captured when you are fully present and completely at ease on your wedding day. With thorough planning and attention to detail, I cultivate an atmosphere that feels like you through gentle guidance and direction, allowing you to forget about the camera and simply revel in each other. From bespoke portraiture, candid storytelling, jaw dropping details, show stopping composition, and every magazine-worthy moment in between, I want my clients to have it all.

memories captured
Whether it is two or twenty years from now, my hope is that viewing the images we create together will be a deeply nostalgic experience.
Each frame is part of a comprehensive visual essay that is meticulously crafted to transport you back to the laughter, happiness, and joy of each moment.

Chances are you dropped by because you're searching for a photographer, so first things first: thank you for considering me.
Hello, and CONGRATULATIONS on your engagement! It is such an honor to play a role in what is one of the most memorable moments in a couples journey together.
Planning a wedding can be stressful, but I make it an effortless experience by guiding you throughout the planning process with thorough planning and the attention to detail that you deserve. As your wedding photographer, we’ll get to know each other and collaborate together on your vision for your wedding photos. I’ll document and direct the day of to create art worthy of telling your once-in-a-lifetime love story.
When I’m not photographing weddings, you can find me investigating new food spots around the DC area, working it off on the Peloton leaderboard, or planning my next trip around the world (37 countries and counting!) with my husband and daughter.
“Winnie is the absolute best of the best! You will not find a better wedding photographer! Winnie and her team went above and beyond to ensure they got the perfect shots of our special day. She is extremely personable and makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera. We are so lucky to have incredible pictures to remember just how special our wedding was. We highly recommend Winnie!”

Engagement sessions are the perfect opportunity to work together before your wedding day and have a little fun. Get comfortable in front of the camera, trial your hair and makeup looks, and make it a date!
If you've browsed my website, blog, and Instagram and like what you see, let's schedule a time to connect over bubbly or a cup of coffee. I'd love to get to know you and learn all about your plans for the big day to see if we're a great fit for one another.
01.
Once you're ready to book, a signed contract and retainer reserves your date in my calendar and makes us official. Now the fun begins! You'll receive a few goodies to help you plan for the big day, and we'll jump into planning for your session.

The process of planning a wedding can appear daunting, but the questionnaires, guidance, and methods I use are designed to make this an effortless process every step of the way. I'm happy to serve as a resource for timeline guidance, vendor recommendations, and more. We'll find the perfect location for your engagement session and review outfit selection to make sure you're both feeling confident. Before your big day, we'll discuss timeline specifics, family formal shot lists, special traditions, and any other important details we should know about your big day.
03.
It's time for you to get hitched! My role on your wedding day goes far beyond the camera shutter. Whether you need someone to fluff your dress, hand you a tissue, pin a boutonniere, or join you on the dance floor, I'm there with you every step of the way to give you the most stress-free, relaxing experience possible. I cannot wait to celebrate with you and your loved ones and capture the magic that happens on wedding days!

I work tirelessly to edit and deliver your gallery because I know you are excited to see your photos. You can expect to receive your full gallery 4-6 weeks after your session/event. My hope is that you'll relive each moment of your wedding and remember the joy and emotions of the day, whether its two months or twenty years from now.
All images will be delivered in an online gallery that you can share with friends and family, purchase prints, and use to download directly.

As a wedding planner I’ve had the pleasure of working with Winnie on several occasions and she is one of my favorite photographers to both work with and recommend to clients.
From a business perspective she’s responsive, punctual, organized and very knowledgeable in her craft. I find all these qualities a huge benefit because I know my clients will always have a great experience communicating with her leading up to their big day and as the planner, I can always depend on Winnie to be on top of it. Of course we collaborate on the schedule and other details but to have a strong photographer that’s organized is essential. She provides guidance for attire, timing and shoot locations if you need her to and always does her research for all venues she works at. You can rest assured that your shot list is organized and your timeline will be on point and that she’ll have a plan A and a plan B…and probably a plan C as well.
From a creative aspect I am alway awed by the images Winnie captures. She wants amazing pictures as much as you do and she always delivers. Her technical knowledge in regards to lighting ensures the most romantic images in any situation and location. She helps guide clients with their poses so that everyone feels comfortable and the result is always naturally elegant and timeless photographs.
I can’t recommend Winnie enough to anyone looking for a photographer for their big day. Not only is her work worth every penny but the stress free experience she provides her clients is immeasurable.

When will I see my images?
I pride myself in efficient processing and quick turnaround times, without forsaking quality! You can expect a preview from your wedding day within one week of your event and an e-mail containing your full gallery within six weeks of your event.
Who owns the copyright to my images?
While I’ll retain the copyright of the images from your wedding day, my contract gives personal print and media permissions to my clients for any non-commercial usage. If you have any concerns about privacy, please let me know.
Can we add on sessions or additional hours after booking?
Absolutely! You are welcome to add sessions to your photography package, or add hours any time up to the day of your wedding day. You can elect to add on hours as late as the moment I am scheduled to leave. If you choose to have me stay longer, just let me know and I will add it to your online invoice afterwards.
WHERE ARE YOU BASED?
I live in Rockville, Maryland but travel all over the DMV. Prices apply for weddings up to a 50 mile radius; for distances further, please inquire about travel rates.
How do we book?
If you’re viewing this guide, you’re already well on your way! I'd love to set up a Zoom or Facetime call to ensure that we’re a great fit for one another. If we’ve got great chemistry, then it’s time to reserve your date! Once I receive a signed contract and retainer, your date is officially booked. Until then, your date is open to other clients. Just email me when you are ready to sign the contract and I will send a proposal your way.
Help! We're awkward in front of the camera/ don't know what to wear!
I hear this quite frequently from the couples I work with, and it’s for this reason that I include a complimentary engagement session with many of my collections. This gives us a chance for us to work with one another, and for me to help you get comfortable in front of the camera! Before your engagement session, I’ll work with you to ‘style’ your shoot- from choosing the location, to every last detail of your outfits.
Every iconic celebration deserves bespoke imagery as one–of–a–kind as your relationship
