Looking for a photographer that feels like a friend?
Consider me like an extra bridesmaid helping make your day special & memorable. I'll be there during each step of your wedding day to capture the moments you see & even the ones you don't...
Like when your flower girl makes a cute face during your ceremony, your mom sheds a tear during your first dance & your grandma has the biggest smile on her face out on the dance floor!
I help my couples with planning along the way & keeping the photography process simple and fun allowing you to soak in and celebrate each moment with your fiancé, family & friends.
A job well done is allowing you to share your beautiful images with friends & families through your gallery, prints, canvases & legacy albums in your home. I want you to be able to relive your big day through your images & remember it like it was yesterday, no matter how many years down the road.
I believe your story deserves to be preserved for generations to come!
i can't wait to cheer you on!

I'm Manali (CS major turned photographer & coach)
I started just like most photographers - spending late nights Googling how to photograph in manual, masking my nerves learning to pose and figuring out the business side of things.
The beginnings of MP might sound familiar to you if you're a photographer:
- Late nights, early mornings over Grande Venti Starbucks runs
- Combatting the whispers of “am I good enough to really DO this thing?!” inside my head
- Juggling jobs & multiple commitments ( trying to work a consulting job, commuting 3 hours a day & following my OTHER passion as a nationally competitive dancer)
hi fellow photog!
I’m so grateful for the photographers that truly took me under their wing (& believed in me more than I did!) when I was first starting. They graciously answered my every little question on car rides back from second shooting weddings!
I was sooo nervous to charge $600 for my first wedding
Now, I find myself confidently photographing $5K weddings
at vineyards across VA.
I can't wait to help you build the business of your dreams & live out your unique definition of success!
