In all the years we’ve been working with families, documenting their weddings, anniversaries, engagements, graduations, we’ve never met a family that regretted a family session. And as much as we love weddings (and we REALLY love weddings), there is something so meaningful and magical about watching a family grow, and sharing our family with each […]

I don’t have to tell you how magical wedding films are!  It gives you the feel of a day in a way that photos just can’t convey (though we try!).  Gary + Alexis’ film is no different.  You can see their photos here, but there’s something so magical about hearing their words to each other, […]

When you ask Alexis about how her and Gary’s love story started, she says there was nothing romantic about it- it was just very real, and I love that!  Not every love story starts with magic and being swept off your feet. So many start the way life does- with challenges and barriers, tender moments […]

Last week we were handed a mandatory evacuation order, so we packed up our valuables and crossed “Visit NYC” off our bucket list!  The past two years we’ve really tried to travel more and take opportunities every chance we get, so when a friend offered their home as a safe haven from the hurricane, we jumped […]

This year I’ve been determined to change my likes and dislikes about the weather. I’m the kind of person who doesn’t like being outside.  Loathe it, actually.  Hot = sweat = washing my hair more often.  Cold = uncomfortable = snow = messy, wet house from tracking snow inside = dangerous roads from ice.  I’m […]

Y’all know my love for the Historic Post Office in downtown Hampton, right? Well, I promise you every couple we’ve worked with there have been a dream!  I love how the building takes on a different feel for each wedding– that’s one of the most magical things about it!  I’ve seen it filled to capacity […]

Lydia + Joseph had one of the most fun weddings we’ve ever been to, and maybe that’s because the two of them were so infectious with their laughter and smiles. If there’s one thing we want you to take away from your wedding day, it’s that it should be as fun as possible.  They had […]

It’s pretty awesome when we get to work with amazing organizations that help kids!  For Kids‘ mission is to “[break] the cycle of homelessness and poverty for families and children.”  I especially love it because they aren’t just putting a band-aid on a need, they’re working to get to the root of the problem so […]

When extended family comes in town, it’s the perfect time to schedule a photo session!  Rachel reached out for a session around graduation time.  We did a family session with her family, and some extended family pictures as well (scroll to the end of the post for those!).  The one thing they told me was […]

Amber + Zach had such a beautiful wedding with some of the most incredible DIY details that we’ve ever seen. We even witnessed Zach’s sister put together their waffle (!!!) wedding cake, and a friend created the most epic donut wall ever.  All of the details were so carefully thought out: from the pearl necklace […]
