"my 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 EARLY = 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.
"Andrea has all of the professionalism in the world but can still make you feel like her best friend"

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 you.
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
"Andrea makes you feel celebrated, loved, and comfortable from the moment you meet her."
WHY I LOVE PRE-WEDDING 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.

INVESTMENT DETAILS
DC & VA WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY PACKAGES
Wedding photography investment begins at 3900.
I love and enjoy creating custom packages for my clients. For more information on pricing and custom packages, please contact me.
DO I NEED TO HIRE A WEDDING PLANNER?
Yes. I only book weddings that have at least day-of coordination. Wedding planners are extremely valuable and help vendors do their jobs better. Instead of wrangling the catering staff before your cake cutting, I’d rather we all be stress free as you smash cake into your partner’s face. :)
WHAT IF I NEED some EXTRA GUIDANCE WITH PLANNING A TIMELINE AND PREPARING FOR PHOTOS?
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.
WHAT HAPPENS IF IT RAINS?
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!
WHAT ABOUT COVID?
I have strong guidelines in place to protect us both. COVID is mostly behind us now, but if the world shuts down once again, we'll make a plan to move your date and ensure that I'm available.
WHAT IF YOU GET SICK?
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!
I'M SUPER NERVOUS ABOUT GETTING IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA! HOW DO I POSE?
That’s normal! Everyone's a little nervous about photos. 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.
DO YOU TRAVEL OUTSIDE OF VIRGINIA/DC FOR WEDDINGS?
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.
DO YOU DO CUSTOM PACKAGES?
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.
