I had the absolute best time celebrating with Emily & Robbie at Evergreen Country Club this past Friday. I know I say that often, but I truly have the best couples.

This past weekend I had the pleasure of meeting with not one, but two of my 2021 wedding couples! Saturday I started with capturing Jocelyn & Jackson in downtown Winchester.

This past weekend I had the pleasure of capturing Kimberly & Chris’ beautiful wedding celebration at Piedmont Club out of Haymarket, Virginia.
