Cumberland, MD Wedding | Maryland Wedding Photographer | C. William Gilchrist Gallery
Megan and Jairus knew they wanted to get married, they knew they wanted a downtown vibe, but other than that they were clueless on the details of it all. I recommended utilizing C. William Gilchrist Gallery in Cumberland, Maryland. Which is a lovely Federal Style Mansion on Historic Washington Street in Cumberland, Maryland. I met up with Megan getting ready upstairs and enjoying the amazing library and we wandered around the upstairs as guests filled the downstairs. The ceremony was held at 5pm downstairs in the C. William Gilchrist Gallery, which is a rotating art gallery always full of amazing art. The large windows brought in all the light and the chandeliers glittered as Megan and Jairus’s dream day fully formed. I do not think there was a dry eye in the house after the vows were read. Afterwards we did some group photos, sent everyone on their way to dinner at Rocky Gap Casino & Resort. Meanwhile, Megan, Jairus, and myself wandered the exterior of the gallery which is a gorgeous home from the 1800’s on Washington Street in Cumberland, MD. Which is a street full of gorgeous historic houses nestled in the valley of Mountain Maryland. So we enjoyed the gardens and the beauty of Washington Street. Then we went to the close by Historic Downtown area and continued to run into more of their friends as we made our way through downtown capturing their love. Afterwards, I sent them on their way to feast and we called it a very successful day.
The beauty of getting married is it’s what you desire. For Megan and Jairus, they really desired a full couples session vibe with their wedding. So we made it happen and it all worked out beautifully for them.

Spooky Fall Elopement | Oldtown, MD | Paw Paw Tunnel | Western Maryland Elopement
Rebekah and Nova landed on the idea of a Friday the 13th Elopement at the Paw Paw Tunnel on the C&O Canal in Oldtown, Maryland and they proceeded to go all out. This Victorian Era and spooky inspired elopement featured lanterns, top hats, spooky tunes, the late hours of golden hour into sunset, a freshly renovated overlook ontop of the over 3,000 ft long tunnel, and more. The ceremony was inspired by the day and featured the duo breaking their own mirror in order to make their own bad luck together and have a sense of control over that. They decided to end the evening by taking a walk into the stagnant Canal water together in order to fully cement their union.
