Barbara started as a photographer in college, capturing galleries, museums, and portraits while pursuing her Communications degree. A deeply passionate person, she has always found inspiration in modern art and culture.

As a DC wedding photographer, Barbara loves to create meaningful experiences for couples seeking heirloom memories while enjoying a stress-free wedding day.

One of her favorite things about wedding photography is learning from the stories of the people she meets and curating images that will always remind them exactly how they felt during their most cherished moments.
