washingtonian magazine | best virginia wedding photographers


I was already in the hospital when Washingtonian Magazine contacted me last November...In fact, I was already in labor! But when one of the editors left a message on my voicemail, I knew I had to return the call. I remember turning to Tim and saying, "Please promise me that you'll call them back tomorrow. Promise me. No matter what." This was said in between contractions. (I'm not even kidding!) I'm sure that Tim thought I was insane to obsess about a phone call while in labor, but he was smart to keep that to himself. What can I say? Labor made me a little crazy. :)

It turns out that Washingtonian Magazine named me as one of the best wedding photographers in VA! (I'm mentioned on their website and in their "Bride & Groom" issue.) I'm incredibly flattered and humbled considering how many amazing photographers work in the area.

Washingtonian Magazine is one of the most popular publications in DC, VA, & MD. If you haven't already, you should definitely check it out! And to all of the fabulous couples who voted... Thank you so much! You guys are awesome.
