Small, Intimate, & Micro Wedding photography in Virginia
Documenting your love story in a way that hasn’t been told before
You don’t need a crowd to make your day meaningful. The beauty is in creating something that feels like you — intentional, heartfelt, and surrounded by the people who matter most. Every celebration looks different, but what matters most is that it feels right for you. My work focuses on documenting those quiet, genuine moments that tell the story of your day exactly as it unfolds. Your wedding doesn’t have to be big to be unforgettable.

My approach is a blend of documentary and editorial photography, created for couples who want their story told with honesty and intention. In smaller, more intimate settings, every moment stands out — the movement, the laughter, the emotion, all unfolding as it truly happens. I focus on the real and the raw, capturing the energy and connection that make each celebration completely unique. My goal is to create imagery that feels alive, artful, and true to your experience from start to finish.
My Approach
Before and throughout your wedding, I’m a steady hand and a calm presence. You’ll always know what to expect, when things are happening, and that I’m quietly capturing every part that matters. I believe communication and trust create the space where real emotion thrives.

You’ll never be left wondering what to do, but you’ll also never feel directed into something that isn’t true. I guide when needed—adjusting light, offering subtle prompts—but the real moments come from you. My job is to make space for them to breathe, not to stage them.
Gentle Direction, Real Emotion
02
I photograph the day as it naturally unfolds—the quiet, the laughter, the in-between. My focus is on documenting genuine connection, not curated moments. You won’t find stiff poses or forced smiles here—just honest imagery that feels deeply you.
Honest Connection

The Experience
Clear Communication & Calm Presence
You’re in the right place if you’re Planning...
Small doesn’t mean simple. It means meaningful. When the guest list is shorter, the moments feel fuller — the laughter, the tears, the connection between everyone there. I love capturing the atmosphere of those days, the way it feels to be surrounded by your closest people in a space that’s honest and real. Every detail matters because every part of the day reflects you.
An Intimate Wedding
You care about the experience, not the performance. The way the light hits your tablescape, the sound of your friends’ voices, the look that says everything without words. I focus on documenting those real moments and the beauty they hold, turning them into images that feel just as alive years from now.
Intentional Details
You don’t need a production to have a day that feels special. You deserve time to slow down, take it all in, and celebrate without rushing. My approach allows you to be fully present while I capture the story unfolding around you — naturally, beautifully, and exactly as it happens.
A Relaxed Experience
Your story deserves to be seen exactly as it is—honest, joyful, imperfect, and beautiful. I want your photos to feel like you, to reflect the way you laugh, the way you hold each other, and the love that exists in the small, unspoken moments. Real emotion is the heart of what I do, and I approach every session with a deep respect for the truth in your story.
Authenticity
Every part of the experience is thoughtfully guided with care and purpose. From the way I approach each session to how I help you feel at ease, my goal is to create space for genuine connection and emotion. I believe the most meaningful art comes from being fully present, noticing the details that matter, and capturing what feels real and true to you.
Intentionality
I believe photographs are more than beautiful images; they are stories that carry meaning through generations. My work is created with the hope that years from now, the people you love will feel connected to these moments as if they were right there beside you. Each image is meant to honor your story and the quiet beauty found in the life you’re building together.

My editing style is inspired by the warmth and texture of the 1970s, creating images that feel timeless, elegant, and rich in emotion. Each photograph is refined with care to maintain natural tones and a sense of quiet nostalgia, allowing the beauty of each moment to remain honest and enduring.
I do not alter body shapes or remove natural features. Minor blemishes or temporary distractions may be adjusted, but my focus stays on preserving what is real and meaningful. The result is imagery that feels effortless, warm, and true to life.

I would say around the same time that you book your venue. Like venues, photographers book out about a year in advance, so the sooner the better. Once you have made your 33% non-refundable retainer, your date will be officially booked!
