I'M TERRI
MEET THE FACE BEHIND THE LENS
Hopeless romantic. Believer in love. Understanding everyone is unique and their story is their own. Behind the camera, I am looking for the timeless moments, a glance, a smile, a tear...yes, cue the tears! These are the things that drive my passion for weddings. This is why I love getting to know my clients, because this is your one special day together that happens quickly but creates a lifetime of memories! I am Terri and I tell authentic love stories!
As your photographer, it is my job to allow you to enjoy the process, guide you through the best possible photography experience, and ensure the images I produce live up to your expectations!

Growing up, I witnessed the love of my mother and father, and I have always known what it feels like to be loved. Today, I document love stories in a way that allows couples to be their authentic selves. I want to tell a love story - your story.
Each time you look at your wedding images, I want you to be reminded that on this particular day, and at this particular moment in time - this is where you were, who you were, and what you were doing.
We grow, we age, and we change. It's inevitable. However, when you look at a photo that I've taken, I want it to be a timeless reminder of how you looked and felt at that specific time in your life.
I'm Terri and I am a curator of timeless, romantic, and fun love stories! Yes, I tell love stories. Not just any story, but YOUR story. I am a wedding photographer based in Northern Virginia, but I LOVE to travel! Let's discuss how we can best document your day!
MY WHY
He gave me a 110mm film camera to document life through my young eyes, and at 8 years old I enjoyed every opportunity to do just that. He taught me how to anticipate moments, and he was the first to train me when I found my way back to the camera in 2010. I call him Dad!

VIRGINIA IS HOME
I've lived in 6 states since graduating from college. I moved every 1-1.5 years except for living in Southern California for 3 years. I currently call Virginia home.
HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS
I believe my clients deserve my full attention not only on their wedding day, but up until their day. If you have questions regarding your wedding photography or vendor recommendations, I am here for you.

PHILOSOPHY
I believe your wedding photos should be a collection of editorial, documentary and classic moments that tell a story of your day. Traditional photos are what make the parents happy, but I will also capture the stylish, candid and fun portraits from your day.
I believe that your wedding day should be your dream day coming to life and that your love should shine through for all of your friends and family to see. My goal is to capture that authentic love and emotion between you and your new spouse.
II
I believe your photos should withstand the test of time and that your children's children should be able to look back at your wedding memories and feel like they were present on your day. Because of this, I tend to document and edit photos in a way that showcases clean edits, romantic embraces and fun moments, but so stylishly done that the images should belong in a magazine!
III
I believe all of the planning that you've put into your wedding should be documented and for this reason, I ask clients to allow ample time for their wedding day photos. Whether it’s the wedding rings, the invitation suite or uninterrupted reception space, being able to look back at those memories can generate the feeling of excitement that this day actually came true!

GOOD FIT?
You see the trends and love them, but you aren't defined by them. You understand that a marriage is more than a wedding. You want the memories from your wedding day to be a constant reminder of the love that was felt by your invited guests, the tears that were shed by your family during the ceremony, the laughs that were shared on the dance floor and the portraits of your groom holding you immediately after you said "I Do". If this is you, I would love to meet you and discuss your wedding day vision!
