Monai and Niquo arrived, all smiles and ready to show off their love! Even before the session began, I could tell that capturing their connection would be effortless. We started the shoot by wandering the halls of the estate. Gorgeous detail adorned the walls around us as I worked to find the perfect angles and compositions. My goal was to capture their love in a way that felt both classic and timeless.

Casey and Josh are two of the most kind people I’ve ever met. It was hard not to feel the immense amount of love and happiness surrounding them on their wedding day. If you were ever wondering if it’s possible to meet the love of your life through Facebook, Casey will tell you it’s real! Josh proposed on vacation in Mexico, and the rest is history.

Alli and Will threw a party worth raving about, and it was like the sky literally cleared Saturday just for them to get married. I had the honor of being a part of their wedding day, capturing the timeless moments that unfolded. As a Charlottesville wedding photographer, it’s always a pleasure to document such special occasions in beautiful Virginia.

Capturing Nelda and Calvin tie the knot was pure bliss and TONS of fun. I don’t think I’ve seen a more fun (or large) bridal party than theirs!! I feel so grateful I got to be a part of their big day! Congratulations again to you two and I wish you a lifetime of happiness!
