Nestled between the Potomac and Rappahannock rivers, King George, Virginia, offers serene landscapes and historic charm—perfect for intimate weddings and elopements. As a local photographer, I’m here to capture your love story with ease and authenticity, creating a stress-free experience in one of Virginia’s most peaceful and picturesque settings.
Since 2021, I’ve called King George, Virginia, home after my husband retired from the Navy and began working as a regional safety supervisor. Before diving full-time into photography, I worked locally as a behavior tech, helping families and children—a role I hold close to my heart. These days, I love starting my mornings with a warm cup of coffee and ending the day with a glass of wine from Potomac Point Winery, savoring the simple joys of country life.
We’re a family of five with two young adult sons and a 10th grader who keep life busy and full of laughter. Add to that our two sweet dogs, Jack and Peaches, who make our home even cozier. We’re huge Ohio State football fans and love spending time outdoors, hiking in Shenandoah, or relaxing at the beach chasing big waves and soaking in the salty breeze.
When I’m not capturing love stories, I’m probably hanging out with the boys and losing at whatever game they’ve roped me into, watching FROM (so many wild theories), crocheting a blanket I’ve been working on for a year, or enjoying the warm sun on my face at the beach.
As for life, I believe in soaking up every moment, big or small, because, as the saying goes: “Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all
Debbie traveled from Virginia to capture our elopement at Acadia National Park, and the photos are beyond anything we could have imagined!
