Your wedding is more than a timeline or a checklist. It is a day full of connection, laughter, and the people who matter most. Forget the rules and traditions that do not fit and celebrate your love in the way that feels true to you.

No matter where your story unfolds, it deserves to be captured honestly and with intention. Years from now, the memories will feel just as alive as they did on the day itself.

The Wedding & Elopement Experience

Wedding and elopement Photography for couples who value real moments in Virginia, across the U.S., and worldwide

I’m Mason, a wedding and elopement photographer traveling Virginia, the U.S., and beyond. Since 2017, I’ve been trusted by more than 150 couples to capture their celebrations with a calm and easygoing approach that lets them stay present and stress-free.

My role goes beyond taking photos. From timeline support to quiet encouragement in the middle of it all, I’m there to make sure your day feels effortless and your photos reflect what matters most: the people, the emotions, and the in-between moments that make your story unforgettable.

Capturing the moments that feel like you.

More Than Just Photos: My Promise to You

Whether it’s a mountaintop, backyard, or cross-country road trip, your story can be captured wherever it takes you. Living much of life on the road keeps travel simple, with little to no extra fees, so meeting you where your love unfolds is easy.

Adventure-Ready

You’re more than a client. Your story, your emotions, and your experience matter. The goal is for you to feel seen, valued, and cared for, so when the camera is there, it feels natural and honest. This is about capturing who you truly are, not just how the day looked.

Personal Connection

No stiff poses or trendy filters. Your day is documented as it naturally unfolds so your photos feel timeless and true. Every gallery is more than images. It becomes a way to relive the laughter, quiet moments, and joy of your day for years to come.

how it works

Your Wedding or Elopement Experience

For couples who want their love story told with ease, laughter, and the kind of moments you’ll want to relive for decades to come.

Long after the day is over, your photos bring it all back. Not just how it looked, but how it felt — the joy, the energy, the people you love most.

When the day comes, you don’t need to worry. Whether you’re exchanging vows on a mountaintop or dancing with your favorite people, I’ll capture it as it happens. No stiff posing, no production, just real moments.

Once you’re booked, I’ll help map out what matters. For weddings, that means keeping the timeline stress free. For elopements, it could be location ideas, permits, or travel logistics. Planning stays simple so you can focus on the fun part.

Frequently Asked Questions

01

How far in advance should we book our wedding photographer?

Most couples book their wedding photographer 8 to 14 months before the big day, especially for popular spring and fall weekends. If you’re planning a destination wedding or elopement, booking early helps secure travel dates and gives us time to plan your engagement session and all the meaningful details that make your photos feel uniquely you.

Whether you’re getting married in Virginia or across the country, the sooner we lock in your date, the sooner you can relax knowing your memories are in good hands.

02

What happens after we book?

Once your date is reserved, I’ll send over a wedding guide that walks you through what to expect and how to make the most of your photos. We’ll start planning your timeline so your day flows naturally and nothing feels rushed.

If you’ve added an engagement session, we’ll plan that together too. For elopements or destination weddings, I’ll help with travel ideas, permits, and logistics to keep everything simple and stress-free.

We’ll also hop on calls along the way to make sure everything feels clear and comfortable so by the time your wedding day arrives, you can relax and enjoy every minute.

03

Do you travel for weddings outside of Richmond, VA?

Absolutely. I travel often for weddings and elopements across the country in my RV, and I love photographing couples in new places. Whether you’re planning a mountain elopement, a destination wedding, or something completely unique, I’m happy to help with travel ideas, locations, and permit guidance.

No matter where your story takes you, I’ll make the process easy so you can focus on the experience while I handle capturing it beautifully.

04

How do you keep our photos safe?

Your wedding photos are priceless, and I take every precaution to protect them. Each photo is written to two memory cards at the same time so there’s always a backup from the moment I click the shutter. After your wedding, I back everything up on at least two hard drives that are stored securely. From the moment I arrive until long after your gallery is delivered, your memories are safe every step of the way.

05

Do you have vendor recommendations?

Absolutely. Over the years I’ve worked with incredible wedding vendors across Virginia including planners, florists, DJs, and more. If you’re booking with me in Virginia, I’ll send you my curated vendor guide filled with trusted recommendations so you can build the perfect team for your wedding day.

06

How do we book you?

Once you’re ready, fill out the inquiry form on my contact page. I’ll confirm if your date is available and send everything you need to officially reserve it. From there, we’ll start planning your experience and making sure you feel fully prepared for your day. 🎉

07

 What is documentary-style wedding photography?

Documentary-style wedding photography focuses on real, candid moments and genuine emotion rather than posed images. It’s about telling the story of your day as it truly unfolds — the laughter, the quiet moments, and all the connections in between.

This is how I shoot throughout your wedding day, other than a few key moments when I’ll step in to guide you. During couple portraits, I’ll give light prompts that feel natural and true to who you are so your photos stay relaxed, real, and completely you.
