This wasn’t your normal “farm” wedding. David and Melissa are both so unique in so many ways and that’s one of the reasons that this wedding was such a blast! Ever since their engagement session, I knew that their wedding day would be awesome. They love music, they love their friends, and they love doing things differently. Their wedding had more of a “bohemian” feel than a “country” feel and I loved that!! As their friends started to show up at the ceremony location, I was with them on top of the hill at the guy’s cabin and we could see the cars pulling in.
I love that David and Melissa had so many friends and family members from all different parts of their life represented at their wedding! They had college friends, cousins, immediate families, work friends and even “festival” friends. These two LOVE music festivals and concerts. They make our life look really boring and I think I said to them at LEAST three times on their wedding day “You guys are seriously the coolest!!”. I love their care free, adventurous spirit and their love for life and for people! I’m so thankful that we had the opportunity to be the ones to capture their day. It was such an honor and a JOY!
It’s hard to put into words how much I love my job. It’s couples like David and Melissa that remind me how lucky I am!! I’m thankful for them and for their families and I can’t WAIT for you to see their beautiful wedding day at the gorgeous Glenmont Farm in Fort Valley, Virginia!!!

I am so excited to share today’s Podcast with you!! You will get to hear a powerful conversation I had with my good friend Graham Cochrane!
Some images are good, but others really DRAW you in and make you say WOW! But what are the factors that make an image stand out so much?
Adobe has consistently pushed the boundaries of technology in the realm of photography. With the introduction of the generative AI fill feature in Lightroom, Lightroom Classic, and Lightroom Mobile, photographers have been given a powerful tool to enhance their editing process. This feature is not just a minor update; it could be a HUGE time saver for you!
I started this 3-part series after walking through an incredibly hard season with one of our sons. But there are so many things I wanted to share in hopes of helping other mommas like me that struggle to figure out what was happening!
I may be 15 years into being a wedding photographer but I still have some bucket list locations where I would love to shoot! When Sarah told me that she wanted to do her engagement session at Virginia House, I was so excited because believe it or not, I have NEVER shot here before!!
As a professional photographer, I’ve had the privilege of capturing countless family portraits over the years. Each session presents a unique set of challenges, from managing energetic children to finding the perfect backdrops.
