Annapolis, Washington DC, and Destination Wedding Photographer
ABOUT
Highly refined editorial wedding and commercial brand photography in Maryland, WashingtonD.C. and beyond. Luxury photo experiences that stand the test of time.
I believe photography should feel like art — timeless, elegant, and alive with emotion. My work blends the polish of an editorial spread with the intimacy of real life, capturing everything from the quiet glances to the grandest moments.
​
Based in Annapolis and Washington, D.C., I travel often along the East Coast and beyond, creating imagery that is both sophisticated and deeply personal. Recognized on photovogue, I approach each story with intention — curating light, detail, and atmosphere so your memories feel as extraordinary as they truly are.
​
For me, this isn’t just about photographs. It’s about crafting an experience — and art — you’ll return to for a lifetime.

Victoria is an Annapolitan who traverses up and down the East Coast with Kevin, her second-shooter, husband, and best friend. Victoria is the sister of two United States Naval Academy graduates, and a military spouse. Formerly Elegant Focus by Victoria, her photography has grown from a passion project to a decade of highly refined, and sought after imagery experiences across the country.
​
Victoria'a signature style is evocative, ethereal, clean, and editorial. She is inspired by the classics, and applies style guidance to each of her couples to ensure their images stay timeless and beautiful forever.
When I planned my own wedding, I was surprised to feel anxious and overwhelmed — as if something was wrong with me for not “loving” the planning process the way we’re told we should when marrying the love of our lives. What I learned is this: weddings are not the best part of getting married — marriage is.
​
That realization has shaped everything I do. I’ve poured my heart into creating an experience for my brides where photography is the easiest, most joyful, and truly stress-free part of the day. Every efficiency has been considered, every detail thoughtfully seen, so you can be fully present in the moments that matter most.

WHAT
inspires ME
" My husband bought me a family session with Victoria for my birthday, and it was honestly the best gift I've ever received. I just cried looking through our gallery. They couldn't have been anymore perfect. We will cherish the images and the experience forever!"
