A Sunny Morning Engagement Session at Corporate Landing Park in Virgina Beach, VA

~ Jessica & D’Juan | Engaged ~

Corporate Landing Park | Virginia Beach, Virginia | April 6, 2025

I met up with Jessica and D’Juan on a lovely spring morning with a gentle breeze making it a little extra romantic at Cororate Landing Park. They are getting married this September at the Neon House in Norfolk. I couldnt be more excited for them. I had so much fun learning about them and their wedding day plans. Shout out to D’Juan who assumed the role as wedding planner! (We love an involved Groom!) I am obsessed with the pops of green palms, tall towering pines and how these two make this look like a movie.

They have been together for almost 10 years but it all began at the bar at Bungalows and a football game. That night, they bonded over touchdowns and bar food. As the night continued, they exchanged socials and the conversation continued. They became inseparable and became each others best friends (and favorite pains in the butt). They eventually moved in together and share laughs together daily. They even up and moved from the big city to the salt life to build a life they love! He proposed right after Christmas 2021 at the same bar they met at all those years back during the Dallas vs. Washington game. They are very excited to FINALLY tie the knot this September with all their friends and family!

~ Brittney | Bridal Boudoir ~

Studio Muse Norfolk | Norfolk, Virginia | April 22, 2025

So excited to be sharing these photos from Britteny’s Bridal Boudoir session from a few months back. The wedding has taken place and the groom has been surprised so I am free to share all my favorites with you! Brittney has never had a boudoir session done before, but she totally exuded confidence! We had so much fun chatting about our kiddos and all her wedding plans. She is so beautiful and i loved her sense of humor. Brittney pulled her best lingerie and with each outfit got more and more radiant. She is so pretty yall!! I had such a hard time picking favorites because I loved so many. My all inclusive wedding package includes a boudoir session, but you can also add it on to any of my other wedding and elopement packages!

A Romantic Sunset Session on the Beach in Virginia Beach, VA

~ Kathleen & Mike | Engaged ~

Virginia Beach Oceanfront | Virginia Beach, Virginia | April 5, 2025

Kathleen and Mike had a GORGEOUS Golden Hour for their beach engagement session. It was a warm spring evening with lots of sea breeze! We had so much fun chatting about wedding planning, their love story and bonded over our favorite guilty pleasure – Netflix Reality TV… like The Ultimatum and Love is Blind! They are getting married at their church in Norfolk and then having a huge beach house party down in Sandbridge after in mid-September.

Kathleen and Mike met at a Halloween party when the two were in grad school. Kathleen was dressed as Darth Maul from Star Wars and Mike was dressed as a cowboy with a bandana covering his face. After meeting, the two did not know what the other person looked like and asked to be reconnected through friends. Finally reconnecting after a few months, they were inseparable, and realized they had been living in the same apartment complex all along. Now nearly 4 years later, with some lomg distance because of school and the Coast Guard, the two are excited to tie the knot in September and celebrate their first Halloween as newlyweds and hope that it remains a special time for the rest of their lives.

A Bright and Blooming Engagement Session at the Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens in Richmond, VA

~ Kiana & Mason | Engaged ~

Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden | Richmond, Virginia | April 5, 2025


Kiana & Mason had a breathtakingly beautiful location for their session and I am still swooning over their images. We met as soon as the Gardens opened in the morning and chatted while we took in all the gorgeous greenery and florals. I love how Mason looks at Kiana throughout this whole session. They are getting married March of next year.

What do pink donuts and pink floweres have in common? Kiana & Mason’s love story! They matched on tinder and chatted a few times but the conversation had tapered off until 2021. On Valentine’s Day, Kiana’s job at a local donut shop was putting out specialty donuts and she was posting about it on social media. The donuts caught Mason’s attention and he reached out about them. And this time, the coversation didnt taper off. Mason planned a day trip to the Washington DC Cherry Blossom Festival with Kiana and her two cousins. They even color coordinated outfits for some nice photos down at the Tidal Basin with the blossoms. While they were there, Mason got down on one knee and proposed to her. They plan to get married during Cherry Blossom season again and they will have a Cherry Blossom theme all throughout their wedding next year.

An Early Spring Wedding in Norfolk & Virginia Beach, VA

~ Katie & John | Wedding ~

Ocean View Christian Academy | Norfolk, Virginia | Crown Plaza Hotel | Virginia Beach, Virginia
| March 22, 2025 |

Katie & John’s wedding day was a gorgeous early spring day with a crisp breeze and warm sun. Katie & John got married at their church and the school Katie teaches at, Ocean View Christian Academy. They had so many friends and family come and support them for their day. Their wedding party was a top notch hype squad! Katies girls totally pampered her while getting ready and Johns boys cheered for him all day! After a wonderful ceremony their friends and family showered them with petals before departing to their reception venue, The Crown Plaza.

Their reception kicked off with their first dance and prayer before dinner. After dinner they had so many heartfelt speeches and toasts by friends and family, cut their cake, played the shoe game, danced with their parents and opened the dance floor. All while some of their friends and family were sneaking out to the front of the hotel to “prepare the vehicle for Send Off”. And by that they meant covering it with Post It notes, filling it to the ceiling with balloons and wrapping it in industrial grade plastic wrap! I was living for it, youll have to scroll to the end to see one of the most epic send offs I’ve had!
