A WASHINGTON D.C WEDDING & PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER

Meet VIVIAN

I am a believer, I believe in love...Everyone's love story should be told. My photography focuses on telling the story of the happiness, love, and energy on your special day. It tells the story of how you celebrate with your love, your family and your guests, how you laugh with your friends and family, and how you experience the journey of your special day together.

I was born Vietnam and raised in washington d.c. I truly have the best job in the entire world and feel so incredibly blessed to do this for a living. Deciding to spend your life with the one you love is a REALLY BIG deal and I believe that your wedding photos should be timeless, authentic, filled with JOY, and created with LOVE.”

Fresh Florals

are we the perfect fit?

Dahlias, daisies, heck, even dandelions. I'm a big believer that a few fresh florals in a jar and you can transform any room or occasion into something elegant (or even magical if it happens to be peony season!)

We believe that life's biggest and smallest moments are worth celebrating. You'll always find a bottle of champagne in our fridge in the event that the night deserves a bit of celebrating!

vintage finds

are we the perfect fit?

New isn't always better. We're big fans of spending the afternoon sifting through antique shops and secondhand stores for timeless pieces with secret stories. Our favorite find? A vintage pair of Jimmy's!

the heart behind the images 

The first time my dad saw my mom, he was so sure she was the one, he walked straight up to her and gave her a kiss. Was it forward? Yes. But it worked. It's been 32 years and they're still going strong. 

My parents have always been a beautiful example of love, intimacy and marriage. And when my mom got sick, it wasn't home decor or baked goods that my dad brought to the hospital, it was photos. Photos remind us of the strength, courage and hope that reside in all of us the way few other things can.
