Bold Images For Bold Couples
The Truest Version of Your Day
My approach is documentary first, cinematic second. I blend into the crowd, laugh with your friends, dance with your guests, and capture the real energy of your day as it unfolds.
These galleries show full stories, not highlight reels.
Every wedding, elopement, engagement, and proposal you see here is real. No styled shoots. No fake timelines. Just bold, honest moments captured as they happened.
I’m Ethan, a Shenandoah-based wedding photographer and videographer who’s documented more than 100 weddings across Virginia, DC, and beyond. My goal is simple: create bold images for bold people who don’t want stiff, awkward photos.
If you want photos that feel like your story instead of a photoshoot, you’re in the right place.

Elopements
Kathryn and Chase got eloped in Shenandoah, during sunset, along the trail where they went on their first date.
These lovebirds had a peaceful sunrise elopement along the Potomac river near Alexandria, VA surrounded by their closest loved ones.
Engagements
Liz wanted something different, so we hiked to an epic waterfall in Shenandoah, after a foggy sunrise session at Little Stony Man.
We went to the girls' favorite DC spots including a chic bar in the Hay-Adams Hotel, The Lincoln Memorial, and bars in Navy Yard.
The Lincoln Memorial is the perfect place in DC for a sunrise engagement.
