Virginia & Washington DC Wedding and Elopement Photographer
Creating art through intentional experiences and authentically documenting your unique love story
Hi, I’m Anika.
Your Virginia-based wedding and elopement photographer ready to meet you anywhere you are (or want to be)
I’m all about capturing the real, authentic you. I’m an introverted extrovert with a calm vibe, slightly obsessed with love stories and, of course, unfolding those stories with my art.
More than just a vendor, I’m here to be your friend on your big day. Let’s go beyond stiff and posed photos – I want to know you, so your pictures reflect the genuine emotions that make your love story unique. If you’re up for running around fields, laughing, and creating photos that feel like ‘you,’ then I’m your girl!
And hey, location is no issue. I’m always up for new places and experiences. As your companion, I bring an adventurous spirit and a helping hand, whether it’s your wedding day, a fun date, or just sharing some laughs. Acts of service are my love language, and I’m here to support you every step of the way.

Intentional Wedding and Elopement experiences
Crafting a day that is deeply meaningful and reflective of your relationship. Choosing every element of your day with purpose, from the location and vows to the smallest details. Intentional experiences prioritize the moments that truly matter to you, creating a day that feels authentic and true to who you are as a couple. Whether it’s an intimate elopement or a larger wedding, the focus is on creating a day that reflects your values, beliefs, and love for each other. Your wedding photos should be no different! There’s only one you. There is only one story that is uniquely yours, and on your wedding day, it intertwines beautifully with another, creating a new, enchanting chapter of love. That deserves to be documented!
An artistic combintation of documentary and editorial
Come as you are. Forget the poses; I’m here to capture the real you. Every emotion, every tear, every moment that tells your story. When you look back at your photos, I want you to feel the same emotions you felt in those moments.
A sense of romantic and cinematic storytelling
Images that evoke the emotions of watching a romantic film. From the details to the raw, beautiful, authentic moments, I seek to create a visual narrative that not only documents your wedding, but also tells a compelling and emotional story that you can cherish for years to come.
