DMV-Area Wedding and Elopement Photographer


More Than Beautiful Photos: An Investment in Memories


Your wedding day will move faster than you think. The flowers will eventually wilt. The cake will be eaten. The music will fade, and before long, even the little details that feel unforgettable today will begin to blur together.


Your photographs are different. Years from now, they'll bring you back to the nervous excitement before the ceremony, the way your partner looked at you when you weren't paying attention, the hugs from grandparents, the laughter with friends, and all of the moments you didn't even realize were happening. That's why choosing a photographer isn't just about finding someone who takes beautiful pictures. It's about trusting someone to notice the moments that become your memories. My goal isn't to direct your wedding; it's to preserve it.


Elopement, wedding, and engagement packages are listed below. Even if you don't find the perfect fit in there, I'd love to hear from you anyway! My packages are customizable and I'm happy to create something with you that is uniquely tailored to your day.

Newly available are cyanotype prints, a unique, ethereal, primitive form of photography dating back to the 1800s, in collaboration with DMV-area artist Hannah Margolis.


"When I can capture the beauty of nature, always in flux, into a still image, unadulterated and true, it kindles a sense of power. I’m an honorable thief, stealing a small piece of magic for my own acts of creation. Radical awe enfolds me both as I work and as I witness the results. I invest my days looking for magic to capture because the only thing better than experiencing radical awe myself, is amplifying it by sharing it."


-Hannah Margolis
