Virginia Intimate Elopement & Small Wedding Photographer
For the couples planning less tradition, more meaning — and a day that actually feels like them.
Not everyone dreams of a packed venue or a five-tier cake. For some couples, it’s about a slower kind of celebration — something smaller, more meaningful, and rooted in connection.
Maybe that means getting married beneath the trees, with the mountains just beyond view. Maybe it’s an intimate dinner with your closest people, candles flickering, music playing, and your favorite wine poured.
Whatever it looks like, this is your permission to do things your way — with intention, beauty, and ease. The kind of day that feels just as good as it looks.

Meet Debbie – the creative maestro behind the camera
Hey there, I'm Debbie!
A photographer, a listener, a story-preserver — and someone who believes that small weddings and elopements hold a kind of magic you can’t always put into words.
I’m here for the couples who want their wedding to feel personal, unrushed, and honest. For the ones who care less about perfection and more about meaning — the ones planning a day that reflects their story, not someone else’s.
I’ll bring the calm when the nerves hit, the direction when you’re unsure, and the eye that catches the quiet, beautiful in-between. More than anything, I’ll make sure you feel seen — and that your story is told the way it truly felt.

Debbie is incredibly talented and kind! She made us feel comfortable, gorgeous, and madly in love during our oceanfront shoot. The images were breathtaking, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience.
Caroline & Kyle
If I could give Debbie 100 stars, I would! She was communicative, helpful, and went above and beyond with everything—from timelines to location scouting. She made us feel comfortable, and our photos turned out absolutely perfect. Highly recommend!
Emma & Ryan
We worked with Debbie for both our engagement session and wedding day, and the experience was amazing. She took the time to understand our vision, made us feel beautiful, and delivered photos that exceeded anything we could have dreamed!
