J + D are married! These two celebrated their wedding day with the sweetest intimate courthouse ceremony at the Frederick County Courthouse in Frederick, Maryland, and I’m not sure they stopped smiling for even a second.

Yesterday was one of those wedding days that reminded me exactly why I love photographing small weddings. An Intimate Wedding on Capitol Hill E + J were married in the sweetest Washington, DC, micro-wedding at a beautiful church on Capitol Hill.

A + J are married! I had the incredible honor of being A + J’s only witness for their Prosperity Mansion wedding. There’s something so special about being invited into a wedding day this intimate.

Never, ever, in my wildest imagination, did I think that I would still be doing this 20 years after becoming an LLC, quite honestly on a whim, from my DC dorm room Gateway laptop. (remember those?!) This has been […]

I recently had the opportunity to photograph one of the most culturally significant (and most adorable) events ever – the Doljabi ceremony.

♥️🧡💛💚💙💜I won’t pretend to know or understand everything- but what I do know is that I will always support and celebrate my LGBTQ+ clients and their right to live as their authentic selves.
