meet
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.
My photography is grounded in timelessness, architecture, and genuine authenticity. I am most inspired by people, beauty, and the tender unscripted moments. Growing up, I watched my mom's DVD of The Parent Trap so many times that it eventually wore out—twice. I was captivated by the film's elegant set design, the breathtaking landscapes of the California vineyard, and, of course, Dennis Quaid.
But what truly enchanted me was the character of Elizabeth James. A elegant woman who ran her own high-fashion wedding dress business and lived in a chic, stylish townhome—her life seemed like a perfect blend of elegance, ambition, and authenticity. ​
​
If you're looking for wedding photos that feel like a mixture of bright, bridal, and glowy with vogue-worthy style and moody, unscripted moments, then let's get in touch.

" 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!"
