Virginia Intimate Wedding & Elopement Photographer Capturing Artful, Honest Stories
There’s nothing more meaningful than choosing how you say your vows, and as a wedding and elopement photographer, my purpose is to make you feel at ease, understood, and fully seen. I bring effortless style together with honest, emotional storytelling so your photographs feel both timeless and true. Whether your day looks like a mountain ceremony with a handful of guests or a backyard gathering with your closest family, it matters. These are the moments worth holding onto — not just to remember the way your wedding looked, but to remember how deeply it felt like yours.

The Client Journey
Debbie was something else! Going into our elopement, we didn’t really know what we wanted. We just knew we wanted to get married. She helped us enjoy the planning process and made everything so easy. If you want to fall in love with your photos, have no stress on your special day, be truly present in the moment, and feel comfortable in front of the camera, then Debbie is your person.
— Egliani & John
We just fell in love with Debbie’s work. The mood, the throwback muted colors, the way she caught moments no one ever notices
— Kristen & Casey
Having Debbie as our photographer was such a great experience! She’s fun – a little sassy – and has such a creative eye. Throughout our time together, she was extremely accommodating and made us feel comfortable and relaxed the entire time. She goes above and beyond in all aspects and truly makes your day look and feel like a fairytale.
— Caroline & Kyle
Modern, soulful photography for couples who value connection over production.
Hey there! I'm Debbie,
I believe weddings don’t need to be a big production to be meaningful. They’re about being intentional, choosing what feels right for you, and creating a day that reflects your love in the most honest way.
I’m based in King George, Virginia, and I photograph intimate weddings and elopements across Virginia — from Shenandoah’s sweeping overlooks to quiet backyard gatherings close to home. My role is to guide you when you need it and step back when you don’t, giving space for the moments that matter most.
Photography has never been just about pretty images for me. It’s about creating a gallery that feels timeless and true — something you’ll return to again and again, because it reflects not only how your wedding looked, but how it felt.
