Lone Oak is not just a brewery at a farm. Rather, it’s a farm with a brewery. It’s 28.66 acres of bucolic fields and streams, a pond, and wide-open spaces. It’s wildflowers and wildlife. It’s crops – barley and hops – and berries and hay. It’s bees raised to produce honey. It’s sunsets and a majestic, pre-Civil War oak tree. It’s our brewhouse – carefully built, piece by piece by world-class craftsmen, using local lumber for the porch posts, beams, and bar. It’s a taproom that feels like home. A little bit of all of this is infused in each pint of Lone Oak’s craft beer.

I'm a northern VA-based wedding photographer who believes that finding your forever love is a gift worth celebrating! But not every love story is the same. I pour my heart into learning more about my couples' stories from the very start and tailoring their experience with me the same way I would if I were photographing my best friend's wedding... to make that magic happen, I use my secret ingredient (personal connection)! And after 2+ years of capturing couples' celebrations, I am proud of the consistent feedback from my clients, telling me that I have accomplished all of that and more!

I am a christian, that much should be obvious. I am a product of the hip hop culture, but I’ve always loved music even before I gave my life to CHRIST. When I first entered into relationship with GOD thru CHRIST there weren’t a lot godly examples in hip hop music. This has changed over the last 10 – 15 years. This shift has drawn me back to my culture and has awaken my interest in DJing. I have been spinning for 7+ years, and I never stop learning. I love playing in front of people, and there is nothing like that energy.

Sarah might swap those last two out for seeking adventure and handbags =).
