for the classy couples that value FEELINGS ON film
northern virginia wedding photography
a wedding photographer is the classic role you can't tell your love story without.
— What do you want from your wedding day? let's create a timeline to make it happen.
Through consistent "omg, that is so US!" imagery and thoughtful organization, we’ll work together to create a wedding photography experience that prioritizes how you want your wedding day to flow; with all the giggles, forehead-kisses, and champagne toasts captured.
"our wedding photos are absolutely incredible. My family and friends raved about Andrea's skill behind the camera and her bubbly personality for days after the wedding."

GETTING THE FORMALS DONE IN NO TIME = MORE TIME TO DANCE WITH YOUR FAVORITE PEOPLE.
It’s easy to lose yourself - in the stress, in the timeline, in entertaining your guests and their expectations. Let’s dial it back to the now. All those moments you want captured, from the posed family formals to the little details you’ve almost already forgotten, will be there. Focus on your friends, your family, some wedding bliss, and I’ll capture the rest.
I’m all about quality over quantity. That means more joy, more “now”, and fewer distractions.
"She has all of the professionalism in the world and yet can still make you feel like her best friend"

my philosophy
Quality over quantity and doing things right the first time. You invest in things you believe in.
Clear, transparent communication and respect. You want your needs to be heard and valued.
WHAT TO EXPECT
COMMUNICATION
Raise your GLASS OF PROSECCO if you believe in:
SUSTAINABILITY
A detailed to-do list is your JAM. You value having a solid plan to lean on - and rewarding yourself for completing said plan ;)
ORGANIZATION
Time is valuable. It should be spent wisely, focusing on the things that matter most to you.
WORKING HARD & PLAYING HARD
I LOVE A LITTLE KATE MIDDLETON CLASS, BUT REALLY, I’M ALL JESSICA DAY VIBES OVER HERE
I'm Andrea!
Feeling confident and joyful in front of the camera is the responsibility of the person behind it. It’s up to me to radiate warmth, joy, and humor between each frame so your photos BEAM with emotion.
I want to make you chuckle. I want to make you grin. I want you to connect with your partner and your guests. I want you to be totally immersed in how you feel, and not worry at all about how you look (because you look like a million royal bucks - come on!)
I make sure you’re prepared and relaxed so the day feels as smooth and cozy as a cashmere scarf. Whether that means firmly sticking to the timeline, sneaking you an espresso before your vows, or handing you my flip flops so you don’t step in the mud in your heels - don't worry, I've got ya covered.

Psss... can I tell you a secret?
I love weddings, and I'll probably cry at yours.
I do. They never get old. The excitement, the giddy expectation, the dress, the colour, the confetti. I love every little bit of them and it’s fascinating to see the quirky little personal spins that each couple put on the tradition. Just when you think you’ve seen it all, someone goes ahead and wows you all over again.
"andrea makes you feel celebrated, loved, and comfortable from the moment you meet her."
WHY I LOVE northern virginia engagement SESSIONS
GETTING TO KNOW YOU IS FUNDAMENTAL
I include a pre-wedding session in my top tier packages so that we can meet and get the jitters out together. Use this incentive for engagement photos or as rehearsal dinner coverage! This helps me get to know you and your guests before the big day so things feel even more organic.

ELOPEMENTS & micro-ceremonies
There is so much beauty in taking time away from the stress, the planning, the details, and the guest list.

Yes, I only book weddings that have professional coordination or planning. Wedding planners are extremely valuable and help vendors do their jobs better. Instead of wrangling the catering staff before your reception begins, I’d rather we all be stress free as you enjoy walking into your reception as a married couple for the first time. :)
I have a 70+ page wedding guide. It helps you coordinate with your wedding planner to prepare for details and moments that sometimes get overlooked.
No worries! I have 10+ clear, plastic umbrellas with me that we can use for outdoor photos, whether it's with a large group or just a few. They always look super cute!
Both! While primarily a digital photographer, I do bring my film camera to all weddings. Your final wedding gallery will consist of 5-10% of film images.
YES! I’d love to travel to your location, either domestically or internationally. Travel costs are $60 per hour after the first complimentary hour of drive time. I always book my own airfare and lodging fees, and roll into your final package price so you don’t have another thing to coordinate.
I have a wonderful community of talented wedding photographers I trust who can step in. They share my values and will treat you with absolute kindness, respect and professionalism. They deliver the photos to me, so you will still get my editing style!
Absolutely! My style mixes questions and prompts to evoke genuine emotion, with clear and reassuring posing directions so we capture a mix of formally posed and as-it-happens photojournalism.
Yes! I would love to hear more about your vision, and create a custom package based on your wedding or engagement session location, or other unique needs.
I usually book 9-12 months in advance, but it varies on the season! Definitely still inquire to ensure I'm not booked on your date.
It definitely depends! I usually suggest that the sweet spot for wedding photography coverage is about 8 hours. This ensures that I grab getting ready photos and extends all the way up until the main events of your reception, but every wedding day is different! I'd be happy to customize pricing and a timeline that fits the vision for your wedding day.
