your wedding and elopement photographer
Nice to meet ya,
I’m Maura
Rather than a resume, I’d like to give you a recipe. Or maybe just a list of ingredients. These are just a few things that make me who I am.
Virginia Wedding Photographer. Wife. Multipassionate entrepreneur. Dog mama. Granddaughter. Amateur baker. A green thumbed gal. Fierce friend. Creative director.
Whether we’re cut from the same cloth or two peas from very different pods, I bet we have a little something in common...
We are obsessed with the people we love. And we’re better because of it.
I’d love to hear more about you and your story, but first, I’ll share a bit of mine.
"Went above and beyond our expectations,
we cannot thank her enough!"
"Pure magic. She is spectacular in every form of the word. The love she showed us, our family, and our friends was unparalleled and it is evident in our photos. With every image, we are taken back to a specific moment and memory that is so sweet. Unfortunately, given the climate of the virus, we had to reselect a photographer a few days before our big day - Maura, jumped right in with the biggest heart and brought it to life! Thank you for saving the day - It was an honor to witness your artistry and heart - Thanks for being you!"
-Abbey & Tylor
"best choice we made for
our wedding!!!"
"Maura is by far the best at what she does! My husband and I were completely blow away at the work that she delivered. Not only were the pictures drop dead gorgeous but the whole experience working with her was amazing! She made us feel comfortable, she is professional, reliable, and trustworthy! From the engagement pictures to the wedding pictures, I still to this day (5 months later) can’t stop looking at them! Maura made our perfect day a day that we will never forget. We can not thank her enough!"
-Hayley & Austin
"We couldn’t appreciate the work she did and how relaxing it was to not have to stress about the photos and we could focus on us and the moment!"
Maura was so nice to work with. Our elopement was very last minute and she jumped right in on the job and was able to capture the memories and during sudden snow storm! We couldn’t appreciate the work she did and how relaxing it was to not have to stress about the photos and we could focus on us and the moment!

I believe in local beauty.
You don’t have to run off to the tropics or catch a plane to another coast to create stunning elopement photos. Peel yourself away from the Pinterest board and look at the beauty surrounding you.
Eloping in Virginia? Oh boy, let’s run off to the coast and get you married with toes in the sand with a Virginia Beach elopement. Browsing Virigina wedding venues for an intimate gathering? Plan a day-after session in Shenandoah National Park and gawk at the Blue Ridge. More of a city folk? A cozy, cute downtown is calling your name.
They say Virginia is for lovers and I couldn’t agree more.
