I'm Erica a D.C. wedding photographer, with two young children, and a love for organization. Welcome to my small space on the internet where I can share with you special sessions, real weddings, and even little looks into my everyday life. Take a look around, and thanks for stopping by!

This Madison at the Mill wedding in Orange, Virginia is a bit closer to my heart than most. It is something really special when you get to watch your friend meet their perfect match, and then that relationship blossoms into an engagement.  My husband’s close friend Torrey is one of those guys that can light […]

One of my favorite trends that has stuck around since Covid is more intimate weddings. These are weddings with guests count less than 50 people.

Megan and Alex were married at the base of a beautifully hand-crafted cross on their family’s Cumberland homestead last September. I love getting to photograph weddings wrapped in so much love and unity with both friends and family at the center of it all.

In case […]
