I'M DEBBIE
Inspiring emotions and memories through photographs that authentically capture the genuine love and passion of couples.
Hey friend! I’m Debbie, a mini adventurous, beach loving, 'Turner Classic Movies', Virginia wedding and elopement photographer. My passion is capturing genuine moments between adventurous, and non-adventurous, couples who are ready to kick off their life together in a more unique and personal way. Whether you are a traditional bride, or one that likes a more non-traditional style, I will be there as your personal paparazzi. I’m drawn to national parks, such as Shenandoah National Park or Joshua Tree, beaches such as Big Sur in Cali or the Outer Banks in NC, to good old Miami Beach! I love traveling and love going wherever the client desires. Allowing me into your world provides me with everything I need to document and tell your personal love story. Church, or mountain top, your wedding day is one of a kind. Excited for this new journey you are about to embark on together.
*Side note, I am planning my own vow renewal in two years and let me tell you the struggle is real! So I know what you are going through and will make it a point to share my ways of stress free relaxation tips when it comes to planning a wedding.
PORTFOLIO
"Debbie is a phenomenal photographer and editor! I have never seen such beautiful pictures. Debbie was there when I needed her the most after my original wedding photographer canceled on me last minute. She does not disappoint! She made my fiancé and I feel at ease and natural, since we aren’t photogenic people! She gets your photos back quickly and they are STUNNING! I have never felt more beautiful in photos before! My friends and family cant stop talking about how great her photos are! Word of advice, BOOK HER before you miss out!"

What Clients are Saying
"there isn't anything more emotional than reliving our perfect day with Debbie"
I say it time and time again. When it's all said and done, what will you have left from your wedding day. Flowers will be gone, food eaten and tossed, decor sold off. But the pictures! These images will stay with you forever. And that honesty is what bring everyday. No fluff or misleading ideas or notions. Your day means so much to me.
What You Can Expect
Working with me means that you get all of me. My undivided attention and assistance with needs of your wedding should you need it. I love helping people and helping with such a big and important occasion is one of my specialties.
Photography is a powerful way to capture what you felt, the moments of overwhelming joy, the way he holds you, that deep love that you need to keep going. Relationships aren’t always as easy as they might be the day you get married, but the photos can represent why you chose them and who you were in that moment.

"tears of joy with every photo"
Debbie came into our life right when we needed her. Her sweet words of encouragement, funny jokes, and relaxed character was just what I needed to make this second attempt, not a great experience with my first photographer, am amazing experience. We felt comfortable, acknowledged, and cared for. I knew I didn't have to worry about our wedding day, and I was right! Love everything she has done for us. Tears of joy with every photo that we look at.
"Omg the light is STUNNING you are so talented!"
We were able to get in touch with Debbie to do our engagement shoot. Even though we are eloping to the west coast, we still wanted to have a great photographer provide us with an amazing engagement session. And she did just that. I literally told her for our sneak peek "Omg the light is STUNNING you are so talented!". I loved everything she did. The colors, the emotion, the fun..it was all amazing. She is truly a bad ass!
"she was the perfect fit for our simple intimate wedding at the beach"
It was hard finding a photographer that fit our style and was someone we could just be relaxed with. Debbie came in and was sweet, fun, and so easy to work with. She was the perfect fit for our simple intimate wedding. And would hire her over and over again.
"1st was special, second time was just amazing"
We got in touch with Debbie for our small back yard elopement back in 2020. She did such an amazing job and her work was so great. The 1st was special, the second was just amazing. She came out to Ocean City Maryland and we had an amazing day at Coulburn Farms. It was so amazing and the way she got the sun's extreme glow was just awe inspiring. Love her. So does my family. And she is our forever photographer.
