Tell Me About Your Day

What you actually want is someone who can show up, read the room, and let you forget the camera is even there. Someone who gets your people, doesn't make things feel awkward, and still catches every real moment - the laugh you didn't plan, the tear you didn't see coming, the quiet in-between stuff that made your day yours.

You want photos that actually look like you. Not a highlight reel of forced smiles and coordinated outfits.

Real photos. No stiff poses. Just you two, exactly as you are.

I'm Mason, a Richmond wedding and elopement photographer known for candid, documentary-style coverage - outdoor ceremonies in Charlottesville, backyard weddings in Williamsburg, mountain elopements in the middle of nowhere.

I travel year-round in an RV, love the outdoors, and I'm not going to spend your whole day moving you around for shots. I'd rather blend in, get to know your people, and catch the moments that actually happened. The ones you'll want to look back on in 20 years.

I'll give you enough direction to feel comfortable on camera. After that, just enjoy your day and trust me to handle the rest.

I'm Mason - a laid-back Richmond wedding and elopement photographer who just wants you to enjoy your day.

Richmond wedding venues

A few recent favorites

I shoot everywhere, from backyard ceremonies to intimate elopements. With over 100 weddings photographed across Richmond and Virginia, these are a few of the venues I keep coming back to.

Mankin Mansion

An Italianate-Georgian estate 15 minutes from downtown Richmond. English gardens, a grand pavilion, and one of the best bridal suites I have shot in.

Barns of Kanak

A historic 13-acre farm in Prince George, 30 miles south of Richmond. Restored barns, open farmland, and golden hour field portraits that are hard to beat.

Main Street Station

A landmark train shed in the heart of Richmond. Industrial ceilings, warm brick, and the kind of light that makes reception photos look like they cost twice as much.

Historic Tuckahoe

One of the oldest surviving historic estates in Virginia. The grounds, the architecture, and the natural light make it one of the most photographable venues in the area.

A collection of real moments: laughter, quiet glances, and the joy in between. These images don’t just show your love, they let you feel it all over again.
