L.A. portrait session

welcome,
friend!

I’m Angelika, a Washington D.C. and Harrisonburg based photographer. Photographing people and brands I love all around the world is my passion, and I would enjoy nothing more than to work with you too! Shoot me a message so that I can say hi, personally thank you for stopping by, or set up a session with you!

Gina and Spencer

Gina and Spencer

Where do I even BEGIN with Gina and Spencer?? These two are close to my heart. Right from our first meeting at Starbucks, I could tell that we were a match. Their deep love for each other and enthusiasm for their wedding was so evident as we got to know one another and gush over their wedding. I am so honored that they asked me to capture such a special day, and can’t imagine a better way to have spent that Saturday. Their wedding was filled with such genuine laughter, love, care, and happy tears from their friends and family, as well as me and my second shooter as we saw how beautifully their day progressed. I absolutely loved getting to know their kind family, and can definitely see where these two get their charm! The first thing Gina did after giving me a huge hug when I arrived was hand me an unexpected gift bag with an amazing entrepreneurial book series she had already read and loved, in addition to the sweetest handwritten note that I currently have hanging on my wall in front of my editing computer! I feel so lucky to have had the privilege to work with these two.

It was an absolute joy to watch your day unfold, Gina and Spencer. Thank you for having me along, and CONGRATS! 🙂

I was (and am!) OBSESSED with Gina’s bouquet. I love, love, love how her bouquet had succulents AND peonies – my favorites! You can never go wrong with either of those!!

Walking in heels is still a struggle, even on your wedding day!! One of Gina’s sweet bridesmaids lent her shoes to Gina as we walked around taking portraits to help save her feet for the rest of the night!
