  • Farmville Depot Wedding Photographers | MK & Roger

    Sometimes, you meet a client that as soon as you interact in person (typically at engagement photos), you just CLICK. This was MK for me. Her personality and mine were just so similar, I forgot I was doing a job and felt like I was just hanging out with a friend. As soon as she described her vision for her wedding day, I knew it was going to be perfect for me. Vivid colors, black and white checkered designs, disco balls, bold flowers. I WAS IN HEAVEN. Now add in a Colombian groom who also incorporated the most DELICIOUS food ever at a wedding – a whole Colombian buffet. I ate arepas and rice and beans and avocado and I truly felt like I was back in Colombia for the first time. And OF COURE MK added on the 35mm film package because – why wouldn’t she. We are the same. And she loves the quality of film, just like I do. These two had a sweet church ceremony, followed by their reception at Farmville Depot, which I had never been to before, but LOVED it! A big old warehouse building full of string lights and don’t forget the ice cream truck after dinner! MK & Roger – you were a JOY to work with, and I love your love. Thank you for having Erin and I be there as part of your special day! I wish we could do it again next week.

  • Washington DC Wedding Photographer | District Winery

    One of my favorite things about my job is being able to travel for work. So when this couple found me online – simply because I have worked at this venue before even though I’m located in Wilmington, NC – they decided to fly me to Washington, DC anyway for their wedding day! They told me point blank, even with my travel fee, I am still more affordable than a local DC photographer, and I’m truly only an hour and a half flight away, so I am HAPPY to travel to DC for weddings.

    This couple asked me to remain anonymous and not have their portraits and names posted online due to the political nature of their jobs – which is ALWAYS okay to ask for, by the way. Obviously I would prefer to be able to share all of the beautiful images of the day, but I respect my clients’ wishes if they ask for this! They gave me permission to share the decor and details from their day, though. So that is what I will do! Please enjoy the STUNNING District Winery, located in the Navy Yard neighborhood of Washington, DC. Easily a favorite place of mine, and I would like to return again soon!!
