FAQs

What’s the best way to contact you about Northern Virginia wedding photography?
The easiest way to get in touch is by filling out the contact form right here on my website! I respond to all wedding inquiries within 48 hours (usually sooner!). I’d love to hear more about your story and what you’re planning.

How far in advance should we book our wedding photographer in Northern Virginia?
Most couples reach out 9–15 months before their wedding date. That said, I occasionally have last-minute availability, especially for weekday elopements and off-season weddings. If you’re planning a wedding in Loudoun County, Fairfax, or the greater Northern Virginia area, don’t hesitate to check in. I’d love to see if your date is open.

Do you photograph weddings outside of Northern Virginia?
Yes! While I’m based in Leesburg, VA and work often in places like Middleburg, Purcellville, and Fairfax, I also travel throughout Virginia and the surrounding states. Whether you're eloping in the Shenandoah mountains or planning a backyard wedding in Maryland, I’d be honored to document your day.

Can I contact you about engagement sessions only?
Of course! I love celebrating every stage of your journey. I offer engagement sessions throughout the DMV, even if you’ve chosen another wedding photographer. It’s a great way to capture a cozy season of life together, no big event required.

What if we’re still figuring out our wedding venue? Can we still reach out?
Yes, absolutely! Please reach out. I’ve photographed weddings at dozens of incredible Northern Virginia venues, from vineyards to cozy estates, and I’m happy to share my favorites or brainstorm ideas that perfectly match your vision.

What should we include when contacting a wedding photographer?
The more detail you can share, the better! I love reading it all. Tell me your date/timeframe, your venue (if you have one), and most importantly, a little about your story! What makes your love unique? What kind of energy are you dreaming up for the day? Be as detailed or as relaxed as you like .I read every message with genuine excitement.

Do you offer video or just photography?
At the moment, I specialize in photography only. But I work with some incredible Northern Virginia wedding videographers and would be happy to refer you to someone whose style complements mine beautifully.

What happens after we contact you?
After you reach out, I’ll send over my full pricing guide, availability, and a link to schedule a consultation. I want you to feel informed and inspired before making any decisions -- this is about building trust, not pressure.
