the experience
I photograph weddings and elopements for couples who care deeply about capturing their people. The ones who raised them, the ones who shaped them, and the ones who love them.
When you look back on your day, you'll remember the small moments, like hugging your grandma, dancing with your parents, and the look on your spouse's face at the other end of the aisle. Like you, family is everything to me. Which is why I focus on capturing those small moments as they happen instead of posing you to come up with the "perfect" album that looks great but lacks what you really felt.
So while you're busy simply enjoying each other and all the people you love, I'm finding the moments of real connection and genuine emotion. Because when you're old and gray, those are the feelings you'll want to remember.

Capturing All The Best Moments
I’ve had the honor of photographing so many couples over the years around Virginia, in Shenandoah, and across the United States, most celebrating with small, intimate weddings or heartfelt elopements. There’s something really special about days like that — relaxed, intentional, and centered on what truly matters. Every couple makes it their own, and it’s a joy to document those moments for families to enjoy from one generation to the next.
"Debbie did a incredible job at our elopement! We would recommend her to anyone for any event!! We are not great at taking candid photos but Debbie did a great job to make us feel relaxed and gave us great direction to create a stunning album of photos that we will cherish forever."
