A wedding planning inspo library for all couples — whether your wedding is next week, or you’re still “casually” sending your partner pictures of engagement rings.

Virginia-based, destination-friendly photographer who believes you            have to be a model to get gorgeous wedding photos.

That “I’m excited about my wedding, but terrified I’m going to hate how I look in the photos” feeling? I totally get it.
