Back in the States and back behind the camera and I could not have imagined a more perfect way to start wedding season.

In Deep Creek, Maryland, on a private property a family spent over a year preparing, planting fields of sunflowers and corn, and carefully tending the grounds where a sailcloth tent would soon stand, Megan and Thomas’s day came to life.

Guests were greeted with champagne flutes and guided through the corn fields as the sun dipped toward the horizon, setting the tone for a magical evening of celebration.

The bride’s elegant gown from , perfect weather, and a celebration that lasted late into the night under a full moon made it truly unforgettable.

custom monogram graced details from the embroidered napkins to the dance floor, and the couple’s planner, wove every thoughtful touch into an experience guests will never forget.

If this is how the season begins, I cannot wait for what is ahead!

Wandering through Porto felt like stepping into a painting. Layers of tiled facades, narrow winding streets, and a river that carries history through the heart of the city. We spent several days soaking in every color and texture; terracotta rooftops, brightly painted trams, hidden alleyways draped in ribbons, and the steady hum of daily life along the .

Each corner offered something different. Morning fog rolling in over the bridge, fresh pastéis in hand, vibrant market stalls, and impromptu street dancing in the squares. From the to the port tastings, Porto gave us everything we needed to slow down and take it all in. Traveling with close friends only made the experience that much richer.

More memories than photos, but here are some of my favorite frames that bring us right back.

10 frames for Julia and Chad

Their engagement session at was the perfect backdrop to document their love story. Julia and Chad envisioned a red, white, and black color story for their December wedding, so we carefully chose attire that echoed this palette. Helping Julia shop for this gorgeous number was so much fun and a great way to help her express her fashion and style.

With .alexisallen at the helm, she has helped to weave their color story throughout every step of the wedding journey. By hiring a full scale planner and designer, collaborating with vendors and sharing mood boards, every detail—from the save-the-dates, the first piece of mail their guests will receive, to the decor—will beautifully reflect their vibrant color choice.

Can’t wait to see how all the beauty will unfold during their wedding weekend next year!

Noir Elegance.

Channeling the bold drama and timeless luxury of the Valentino Fall 2024 Ready-to-Wear collection in this sultry, intimate bo***ir session. Inspired by the rich textures, striking contrasts, and unapologetic femininity of the runway, we captured the essence of empowered beauty in every frame. Valentino’s show celebrated a bold new era of black, white, and metallic hues, embracing sophisticated minimalism with a daring edge.

This shoot was elevated to a whole new level thanks to the incredible artistry of Justine from , who created a look that truly embodied our vision. Collaborations like this are what I am truly grateful for in this industry.

With all the new designs coming in hot from I am truly inspired by all the incredible looks for the season! Manifesting attending and photographing one of these days.

More to come from this incredible shoot…
