Sneak peek alert!  What a beautiful wedding at Camp Pendleton!  I absolutely loved spending the day with Brooke, Steve and their guests – I cannot wait to edit the rest of their gallery. Brooke and Steve chose to do their engagement session at Jamestown Beach in Williamsburg, VA.  It was so fun to go down […]

Carlton Farms Wedding in Williamsburg, VA with golden hour portraits

I looooove being a part of such a special time when families get together for vacation. This session in Colonial Williamsburg was no exception!  CW gardens are such a great place to take pictures while you’re on vacation, especially if you have kids. Many of the gardens are tucked away from the main streets, so […]

I’m taking a few weeks off from photo sessions and kicked it off with a mini-family vacay.  We decided to try a long car trip with Noah and head over to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.  I usually focus all my photography on people, but it was fun to try a few waterfall images with […]

Family vacation photos at Kingsmill Resort in Williamsburg, VA

Ya’ll – Kendall and Brad are such a FUN couple to be around – their love for each other and for their friends and family is truly contagious.  I am SO excited for their future together and am so thankful they chose Mattie Wezah Photography to capture their intimate wedding at the Williamsburg Inn! Kendall […]

Jonathan reached out to me to actually schedule a surprise proposal on the waterfront in Norfolk.  We traveled there, and they were having dinner with their parents.  Of course, no one but Jonathan knew that we had a proposal scheduled before sunset by the water – complete with surprise engagement photos.  Delays happened with family, […]

Confession time!  The CNU (Christopher Newport University) Campus is less than 30 minutes from my home in Williamsburg, VA, and this was my FIRST TIME walking and exploring.   As much as I love William and Mary (it is my alma mater, after all!), it was so fun to explore somewhere new.  Lauren’s senior portraits at […]

Are you looking for a newborn lifestyle photographer?  I would love to connect!  When I became pregnant with my first son, I swooned over all the gorgeous posed newborn shots – from babies hanging in cool hammocks to photoshopped images, they looked so cool.  I have such a respect for photographers who take these images […]

Do you remember how you felt when you were graduating from high school or college?  Are you currently in that season and feeling SO excited?  There are so many emotions when we’re about to hit such a huge milestone – the accomplishment, the future we are anticipating… and there’s such amazement as we stop to […]

Go Tribe!  I just love senior portraits at William and Mary! I am an alum and getting to visit campus is SO fun.  I love seeing all the changes that have happened and the improvements that continue to be made.  Even more so, senior sessions are SO much fun, because we get to spend time […]

Since I was a small child, I have loved travel photography.  I grew up in a VERY small town in rural Virginia (ya’ll- if you don’t know what John Deere, Carhartt jackets and Brew Thru shirts are, you probably don’t know rural Virginia culture).  Let’s just say that going to the beach at Nags Head […]

Nonprofit photography with OrphanNetwork VA Beach in Nicaragua. I just loved the kids!
