Spruce Knob Lake Elopement Photographer | West Virginia Elopement Photographer

Lacy and Ron met many years prior while working at a restaurant together. They built together as she became a beauty queen and a nurse. Finally life slowed down enough that they could tie the knot and what a fun day we had doing so.

We ventured down to Spruce Knob Lake first and grabbed some family photos as we tried to keep an eye on the storm that decided to roll through the same day. Eventually we made our way up to the top of Spruce Knob and got to catch the last hour of the storm that was rolling through. Which gave us the most stunning sunset view as we watched the mist rise back into the sky as Lacy and Ron said their vows. After that we used the remaining light to get some mountain top pictures and the sky opened up perfectly to get some early star photos as well. Which we took full advantage of.

If you would like to have Lacy aka Mrs West Virginia America 2025 be your pageant coach you can hire her here: Empowered Pageant Coaching

Emma and Mason’s September wedding at Smoke Hole Resort in Cabins, West Virginia which is just right down the road from Seneca Rocks and Smoke Hole Caverns was the definition of a fun time!!

Their friends and family surrounded them in love. Grandma knocked it out of the park by making their favorite cheesecake for their wedding cake.
Their families pitched in and helped turn a great view at a lovely place into a stunning time. The decor was on point, the people were most lovely, the food was tasty, even an inflatable screen and video games as a group activity made their appearance as well. The sun was strong, the vibes were vibing, and we all had a blast celebrating the love of these two amazing humans who met as childhood friends that reconnected with age.

Peyton and Samuel met in a parking lot on their college campus in 2019 and the rest was history. They got engaged at one of their favorite places, Dolly Sods. Dolly Sods was where they first went on vacation together with Peyton’s parents and sister. In a similar fashion, their elopement consisted of Peyton, Samuel, her parents and sister joining us as we wandered all over the sods together hiking and having a blast. They took me to the spot where Samuel proposed to her and that was where they read their vows to each other.

The Emerson Bromo Seltzer Tower has been on my dream location list for years. So when Meghan and Stephen reached out this past fall that they wanted to do their engagement photos there, I leapt at the opportunity. Stephen is a mechanical engineer, so the fellow nerding was on while we made some awesome art. He and Meghan met in RVA (another one of my favorite cities where all my family is nearby, justtt saying). Meghan was a drama major, so I was able to fulfill another one of my daydreams and use the lights of the Hippodrome Theater in some of their shots as well to marry the session into a perfect telling of their story and new adventure of living in Baltimore together. After this absolutely cup filling session I was able visit my favorite human in Baltimore, MD and take my grandma out to dinner and chat for hours. Which I had missed deeply in my soul.

These two and I had such a blast at Piney Run Park in Carroll County, MD. When your love language is playfully roasting each other but also making sure to capture the person you love doing things they love…. We are on similar brain waves. A big thank you to Kristina for picking an activity that David would enjoy and not totally hating me for encouraging him to bring his fishing rod out of the truck. Seemed fitting since a fishing trip in West Virginia was how he proposed to her.

Thank you both for entertaining me, and giving me the gift of a beautiful evening in a new place, with a belly full of laughs. Those are the days that fill my cup.

The summer of 2020 was a wild time. Oren + Folk just opened in Buckhannon, WV and with that Wanderlust Shootouts created one heck of a content day. Emily and Cortney absolutely crushed this wedding set up with this gorgeous vintage Ford Mustang. We all had a blast singing along, dancing, and goofing off on this hill top on a sunny beautiful August day.
