Beau & Jane’s Wedding Day | Maryland Wedding Photographer

November 13, 2025

Beau & Jane’s wedding story is one that truly stayed with me — and even though their day took place in Augusta, Georgia, it represents the heart of why I photograph weddings today here in Maryland, Washington DC, and Northern Virginia.

Before relocating to the DMV, I had the honor of capturing Beau & Jane’s intimate wedding at the historic Partridge Inn in Augusta, GA. Their story is a reminder that love is worth waiting for — and that the most meaningful moments happen when you least expect them.

A Love Story Years in the Making

Beau & Jane first met at the Partridge Inn on July 14, 2018. From the beginning, their connection was rooted in resilience, hope, and a shared belief in love — even after life had tested them both. Their story deeply moved me, and it continues to shape how I photograph couples today.

I’ve seen many people close themselves off to the idea of long-lasting love because of past heartbreak. Beau & Jane chose a different path. They trusted love again — and it led them back to the very place where their journey began.

A Full-Circle Wedding Day

Exactly one year later, on July 14, 2019, Beau & Jane were married at the Partridge Inn — the same place where they first met. Surrounded by family, friends, and colleagues, their wedding day felt deeply meaningful and full of gratitude.

One portrait from that day remains one of my all-time favorites: Beau & Jane with their grandchildren. It symbolizes legacy, hope, and the beautiful life they’ve built together. In one frame, it tells the story of love across generations.

As one of my favorite films says:

“Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.”

From Georgia to the DMV

While this wedding took place in Georgia, it represents the same heart and storytelling approach I now bring to every wedding I photograph in Maryland, Washington DC, and Northern Virginia. Whether your celebration is an intimate backyard wedding, a historic venue, or a luxury ballroom, my goal is always the same — to capture your story with honesty, beauty, and emotion.

Beau & Jane, thank you for trusting me with your memories. Your love continues to inspire the work I create today.

Jason & Brittany’s Engagement Session | Maryland Engagement Photographer

Jason & Brittany’s Engagement Session | Maryland Engagement Photographer

November 12, 2025

Jason & Brittany’s engagement session at Redcliffe Plantation in Beech Island, South Carolina is one of those shoots that reminds me why I fell in love with photography — and why I now bring this same storytelling approach to couples across Maryland, Washington DC, and Northern Virginia.

Before relocating to the DMV, I had always dreamed of photographing a session at Redcliffe Plantation. It’s a location I frequently recommended for engagement, maternity, and family sessions, but many clients hesitated because of the drive from Augusta. After seeing other photographers in the CSRA share their work there, I knew I had to experience it for myself.

When Brittany and I first began planning her engagement session with Jason, I suggested Redcliffe Plantation — and she instantly said yes. I was thrilled that they trusted my vision, and the results truly exceeded expectations.

A Picturesque Winter Engagement Session

Even in early December, Redcliffe Plantation remains stunning. Much of the foliage is still green, the historic magnolia trees keep their leaves, and the white columns and sweeping grounds create a romantic, timeless backdrop.

Jason & Brittany were a dream to work with. From the very beginning, they trusted my creative direction and were always open to trying new poses and locations, whether or not they would make the final gallery. That trust allowed us to create natural, emotional, and cinematic images that tell their story beautifully.

From South Carolina to the DMV

While this engagement session took place in South Carolina, it reflects the same care, creativity, and attention to detail I now offer to couples planning their engagement sessions in Maryland, Washington DC, and Northern Virginia.Whether your session is at a historic estate, a waterfront park, or a downtown city location, my goal is to create images that feel genuine, romantic, and timeless.

Jason & Brittany, thank you for trusting me with your memories. Your session will always be one of my favorites.

Here are a few of my favorite images from their session.

Wedding at The Enterprise Mill | Maryland Wedding Photographer

Nick & Calen Matos Wedding Day

This was my first Wedding at Enterprise Mill Events & Catering. I arrived early to capture Nick seeing Calen for the first time prior to the ceremony at Enterprise Mill. I absolutely LOVE first looks before a wedding ceremony. It gives me a chance to capture an authentic moment that can be sometimes difficult during a typical ceremony.

After the first look I captured family portraits and photos with Calen’s bridesmaids. I also captured some shots of Nick, his best man and son Aiden channeling his inner Man of Steel!

I was ready for the ceremony at this point of the festivities. Enterprise Mill Events & Catering has a gorgeous outdoor brick gazebo structure that let’s in ample amounts of beautiful natural light, but I had my Profoto B10 flash heads ready in case things got a bit too dark. Luckily, I didn’t need them here. Nick & Calen had written out their own vows, It was very moving. Especially when Calen addressed their son Aiden, completely heart warming moment.

Because it was a chilly February day in Augusta, GA and Calen had braved most of it in her stunning wedding dress we opted to do couples portraits indoors. No problem there, Enterprise Mill has a lot of character inside from artistic brick walls to a beautiful sliding wooden door. I was able to get some great shots from those textures and my Magmod modifiers. I am always practicing different “light recipes” because you never know the limitations you may run up against during a wedding day.

Once our portrait session was over it was time for me to switch gears and get ready for the reception. This is usually my favorite part of a wedding. Everybody by now has eaten appetizers and have had a few drinks. I usually setup my lights in strategic places to capture candid moments from the entrance, first dance, speeches and guests dancing the night away. Enterprise Mill is definitely dark inside so relying on your flash photography is critical here. My favorite picture has to be the father & daughter dance with Calen and her dad. I caught a moment I always strive to capture if ever given the opportunity and it finally happened. It’s why I do what I do…….I love wedding photography!

Nick & Calen started their first dance with “Iris” by The Goo Goo Dolls and ended the night with a last dance “Can’t Help Falling in Love” by Kina Grannis. My wife Julianna was my assistant during the wedding and we had a blast helping Nick & Calen with their special day. I wish nothing but lasting love & happiness for them and can’t thank them enough for having us be a small part of it all.

Engagement Session at Brick Pond Park | Engagement Photography

Before any engagement shoot I like to go over the many options with my clients including locations, themes, and what they want out of an engagement session. I seek to carry out their vision with my distinctive IMP style as I help tell the story of this new chapter in their lives with photographs.

Ashley & Eugene met in high school and were the best of friends before they fell in love with each other. For location, they choose the nature-filled Brick Pond Park. I photograph many sessions here and I believe my clients fall in love with the sweeping natural vistas that it offers.

Because it’s June and temperatures hit the high 90s before noon, I recommended we start our session in the morning. I suggested starting at 8am or 9am, but that proved to not be early enough. By 9:30am on the day of our shoot, temperatures had already reached the mid 80s and we felt the unrelenting heat and humidity as it continued to build. This unfortunately cut our engagement shoot short. Even with the short amount of time, I believe I captured the love and passion Ashley and Eugene have for each other. Some couples have trouble warming up to having a camera nearby while staring deep into each others' eyes, but not Ashley & Eugene! From the moment I asked them to pose, they shared a view into their warmth and love for each other as if the camera wasn’t there at all. I may have even had to pry them apart to keep our shoot going --! I love giving my clients the best experience possible and hope they will enjoy their images from a hot but beautiful morning. I look forward to capturing their wedding in November!

Wedding Portrait Session at The Marion Hatcher Center | Maryland Wedding Photographer

When Derek reached out to me to inquire about my photography services he informed me that he had an unusual request. He said he had already been married and that his wife’s only regret was that they were not able to get memorable wedding portraits. Derek & Marie were married in October, 2019 at the historic Marion Hatcher Center in Augusta, GA. It unfortunately rained and they couldn’t take any pictures outside. They hired a hybrid videographer who also took photos. Though he was able to create a memorable video for them, his photos that day inside the Marion Hatcher Center disappointed them.

Derek wanted to surprise Marie by hiring a local photographer who could essentially re-do their wedding day portraits. Derek searched and found me; he loved my portfolio and contacted me to see if I would be interested in re-doing their wedding day portraits. When I heard their story I couldn’t say no! Like all weddings I accept, I send a questionnaire and vision board to my clients to better get a sense of their personality and style. This way, I can better understand how I can mesh my talent with their vision. Even though this wasn’t actually going to be a wedding I still needed to go through the same process to deliver what would be the only chance for these two lovely people to get the photos they would enjoy for years to come.

Derek & Marie were able to get in contact with The Marion Hatcher Center and request 2 hrs of their time to lend us the premises to be able to capture their portraits. Marie got her wedding dress out the preservation bag and to a dry cleaner to have it ready. Derek lost a few pounds of love weight to fit into his suit hehehe. Three months later we had our session.

As a wedding photographer, we are constrained to a tight schedule. Fitting the sought after “portrait session” part of the day is usually trivial to say the least. If you are extremely lucky you get an hour, sometimes you’re lucky enough to get 30 minutes with the bride & groom. Other times, this portrait session gets completely discarded due to circumstances beyond yours truly, the wedding photographer. I actually think Derek & Marie benefited from having this portrait session well after their wedding day.

Anyway, without further ado here are some of my favorite images from Derek & Marie’s wedding portrait session at The Marion Hatcher Center in Augusta, GA

Eugene & Ashley’s Wedding Day | Maryland Wedding Photographer

Eugene & Ashley were married on November 2nd at The Boat House Community Center. The venue features open windows surrounding the entire event floor — no shortage of natural light to illuminate the celebration! Eugene & Ashley were so fun to be around the entire day; they exuded confident assurance as they prepared to say their vows in front of family and friends who love them dearly. Ashley had the coolest wedding shoes I’ve ever had the pleasure of capturing….a pair of custom Chuck Taylors to commemorate their wedding day! I wish Eugene & Ashley a lifetime of happiness & love.

Here is their wedding story through my lens…..
