Maria + Kevin / Elopement Pure Amore

Long overdue introduction... 😅

Hi, I’m Andrea 🤍

A little about me—I’m a mix of introvert and extrovert. I’m super bubbly once you get to know me, a total empath (if you cry, I will cry 😅), and I love meaningful, genuine connections.

I’m married (6 years 🤍), very grounded in my faith, and I truly believe in doing things for love, not pressure. I also eloped in the most old-school way—which is probably why I have such a soft spot for intimate, intentional moments.

Outside of weddings, I love capturing lifestyle and branding sessions—working with families, individuals, and mindful/wellness brands to document milestones, tell stories, and create beautiful, intentional content.

I love meeting new people, hearing your stories, and being someone you can feel comfortable around through such a big moment in your life.

If you’re planning your day—big or small—I’d love to connect ✨

When you close your eyes and imagine your wedding day, maybe you see soft florals, glowing candlelight, and the moment you lock eyes and say “I do.” 🤍

It all begins with the place where your love story unfolds. The right venue doesn’t just hold your celebration — it holds your memories, your laughter, your forever.

Find the space that feels like magic… and let your love fill the rest. ✨

Still dreaming about this unforgettable fall wedding at the stunning Cosmos Club in Washington, DC 🍂✨

From the moment I arrived, I knew it was going to be special. The couple was absolutely incredible — the kind of love that radiates into every corner of the room. The energy? Electric. The joy? Contagious. It was elegant, romantic, and filled with so much heart. Truly one of my all-time favorite weddings.

And the venue… pure perfection. Cosmos Club set the most beautiful backdrop for such a meaningful celebration — timeless architecture, warm autumn light, and an atmosphere that felt straight out of a love story.

Captured alongside the incredibly talented @wolfcrestphoto — always an honor to create magic together.

If you’re planning your wedding and looking for a photographer to capture your day with intention, emotion, and artistry, I’d love to connect. Let’s create something unforgettable 🤍

While the big moments get the headlines, it’s the quiet energy in the background that makes a wedding feel alive. It’s the "living gallery" of the day—the scenes that happen while no one is looking, but everyone is feeling.

It’s the rhythmic shake of a cocktail at the bar, the sound of a live band catching its groove, and the sight of your favorite people becoming the photographers, capturing their own version of your love story through vintage lenses and phone screens.

From the architectural grandeur of the venue to the permanent ink of a love note left in a guest book, these are the details that turn an event into an atmosphere. We aren't just documenting a schedule; we’re documenting a pulse. 🕊️🎞️

Which "hidden moment" is your favorite to look back on? The party energy or the quiet notes? 👇

Reminiscing over this beautiful 2022 elopement gallery!

It was long overdue for a fresh re-edit to match the work I’ve been creating with this year’s elopements and micro weddings.

I’m obsessed with cherry blossoms—but not so much the spring crowds. If you’re dreaming of a DC elopement like this, let’s secure your date and plan a day that’s a little less crowded (and a little less cold).

Either way, it’s always worth it for the magic. 🌸

The moments before the "I do" are where the real magic hides. ✨

It’s not about the perfectly placed strand of hair or hitting a "flawless" pose. It’s about the quiet exhale. It’s about looking at your reflection and realizing that even if the timeline shifts or the flowers aren't exactly what you pictured, the day is already beautiful because it’s yours.

The most stunning brides aren’t the ones with the "perfect" plan—they’re the ones who soak in the emotions, laugh when things go sideways, and realize that a late bridesmaid or a forgotten veil is just a tiny part of a much bigger, more beautiful story.

Take it easy. Breathe it in. The magic is in the mess and the joy.

Planning an intimate wedding for 2026? I’m looking for couples who care more about the moments than the "perfect" plan. DM me "2026" to chat about my intimate wedding packages and let’s capture your magic! 📸✨

Angie + Alex’s intimate wedding at Fathom Gallery was pure romance from start to finish. 🤍

Over two months ago, Mayra and Sean got married—wanting nothing more than an intimate, spontaneous moment that felt true to them.

We began in the sweetest little rose garden just outside DC, where everything was soft, emotional, and beautifully unplanned.

Then we wandered to the Jefferson Memorial, where the water and marble made their simple, quiet celebration feel effortlessly timeless.

Thinking about an intimate elopement of your own? Save this post for next season if you’re planning to say “I do” your way.

🌸 Olivia & Jesus 🌸
Surrounded by the peaceful gardens of the Basilica in D.C., these two shared a love that felt timeless. Every look, every smile — pure magic ✨

To be frank, this couple's plans came together quickly, and I'm smitten with the spontaneity. They were uncertain about where to hold the ceremony, but I was eager to suggest Enid A. Haupt Gardens ❤️ - it's a cherished spot in DC.

✨ From the rails to “I do” 🚉❤️

Sarah & Ephrem met over 10 years ago while working on a project for Amtrak — so it was only fitting to return to @unionstationdc , to begin their next big journey together.

With the help of @simplyeloped , every detail was taken care of so they could soak in the moment — stress-free and full of love. From the timeless architecture to the soft, quiet corners of the station, their elopement was as meaningful as it was magical.

If you’ve ever dreamed of skipping the big production and saying “yes” in an intimate, iconic DC location… this is your sign. ✨

Three days ago, I had the honor of witnessing my best friend Vika tie the knot with the love of her life, surrounded by the breathtaking natural beauty of Maroon Bells Park in Colorado.

The sun shone brightly, casting a warm glow over the entire scene. These photos and videos barely do justice to the magic we experienced. It was an intimate, unforgettable moment for the happy couple, and I couldn't be happier for them - or for being a part of it.

Vika and I have been close friends since junior year of high school, and I feel grateful to have shared in this enchanting moment. I'm also proud of the work I did for these two lovebirds. We had an incredible time, and there are more photos to come!

Cheers to Vika & Roy! 🩷

Not every love story needs a grand stage—some just need a quiet “I do” and someone to capture it. 💍✨
I love working with couples who keep things simple, meaningful, and true to themselves. Whether you’re eloping, having a courthouse ceremony, or celebrating with just a few loved ones, your day deserves to be remembered beautifully.
For the lowkey lovers, the intimate dreamers, the ones doing things a little differently—I see you, and I’m here for you. 🤍📸

That first moment after saying “I do”—when everything feels surreal and beautifully real all at once. Life doesn’t have to be perfect to feel magical, it just has to be yours.
You look at each other and think, “Wow… we’re really married.”
That feeling? It deserves to be remembered forever.
Choose more than just a good photographer. Choose someone who feels the moment with you, who turns your memory into art—something you can relive again and again.

Kimberly and Michael found each other when they were young — two hearts growing side by side, building a life full of love, laughter, and memories. Their bond was always meant to be, and saying ‘I do’ was simply sealing what destiny had already written.

“Fer & Jan 💞 chose the most romantic day to say ‘I do’ — Valentine’s Day!

Surrounded by their closest family and friends, they celebrated their love with a heartfelt church ceremony. No grand party, just pure, intimate moments that will be cherished forever.

I’m all for couples who embrace this beautiful, intentional way of celebrating their love. If you’re dreaming of an intimate ceremony that’s all about you two, I’d be honored to capture those memories. 💕
