A Collaboration of Love and Travel


As a wedding photographer based in the DMV area and an aspiring destination wedding and elopement photographer, I am dedicated to capturing the essence of love in breathtaking locations around the world. My passion for travel fuels my creativity, I am driven to explore new settings and continually enrich my portfolio with diverse landscapes, unique backdrops and fun/romantic couples. I thrive on experimenting with different formats, such as film, blending fun and artistic techniques like direct flash to authentically capture each couple’s unique story. More than just a photographer, I’m here to celebrate alongside my couples, sharing unforgettable experiences and creating timeless memories that they'll cherish forever.

My faves


Let me share a bit about the things I love...


Traveling has been my thing lately and I feel so much peace and joy just sitting by the beach during the sunset or watching the scenic views out the window. You will ALWAYS see me bring one of my cameras with me to capture the beautiful moments of nature and to capture the fun.

Muay Thai I've fallen in love with such an amazing sport. I'm a few months into training and I can feel the difference in my endurance and strength. I feel like superwoman when I'm in class (well, when I'm not dying and out of breath lol).


Korean bbq has to be one of my all time favorite foods at the moment. I have to go at least once a month because I love it so much. My go-to spot is Iron Age in Annandale, VA. I wish most places would bring back the mashed potatoes ugh.
