The Venues at Lucas Farm | Deep Creek Lake | Deep Creek Maryland Wedding Photographer
Morgan and Adam’s fall wedding in Deep Creek Maryland was an absolute stunner. The fall foliage was out to play at the Venues at Lucas Farm in Garrett County, MD. It was a wonderful day in October where the rain came all the way down. Seeing as I’ve known Morgan since she was in pre-k it was basically like a family reunion/ high school reunion since our catholic education blessed us with the weird magic of tiny class sizes and everyone knowing everyone. It was so wonderful to see so many friends and family members.Fall at the Venues at Lucas Farms is a full stunner too, the freshly updated venue brought the magic of a multitude of barns for all the things. Obviously the winner was the dock with the gorgeous trees towering overtop. While we were dodging waves of rain we were still able to soak up the beauty of this stunning Western Maryland venue. With the plethora of friends and family, the party full of love and laughter rolled on with a full dance party with ABBA and Taylor Swift bumping through the barn as we all got down and had a total blast❤️❤️
Pittsburgh, PA Wedding | The Garden Room at The National Aviary | Pittsburgh, PA Wedding Photographer
On a lovely June day in Pittsburgh, PA Bridget and Justin were married in the Garden Room at the National Aviary. Bridget used her past house party planning experience to help plot the most wonderful and fun day with all of their friends and family. Every table had it’s own flavor of cake, each place setting was 3D printed along with their cake topper. The florals were inspired by Bridgerton and they fully gave the garden party fantasy. Her veil was hand embroidered by their refugee house mates, and their daughters were their flower girls. Photos of their story ( including their first Tinder conversation from when they met in college at Appalachian State) and loved ones lined ever ledge. All the details were done with care. Including flash mob dances, galavanting with various birds, and a surprise changing color LED dress. Everyone had an absolute blast and the day flew by for sure.

Colorful Fall Deep Creek Elopement Microwedding | Deep Creek Lake | Swallow Falls State Park | Deep Creek Elopement Photographer
Mariah and Jen’s fall microwedding style elopement at Swallow Falls State Park in Deep Creek, Maryland was a wonderful and colorful affair. Mariah chose a pink wedding dress to match her pink hair and it was fabulous. The ceremony was done in a Native way to nod towards Jen’s heritage. It was beautiful to watch each element being represented and the traditional use of cornmeal and feathers in action was fabulous (I would post more of those, but the officiant didn’t wish to be published publicly). So hopefully the tidbits give you some of the vibe. Their friends and family surrounded them in so much love and were troopers as we popped through the park and hit each waterfall along the way. Thank you so much to Mariah and Jen for hiring me to capture your day. I had such a blast capturing your love.

Western Maryland Deep Creek Lake Maternity Session |Swallow Falls State Park Maternity Photographer | Swallow Falls State Park
Devin, Billy, and Lennie are some of my favorite humans, So when Devin hit me up to let me know their family was expanding and that it was time to capture them once again I was hyped. They drove up and met me at Swallow Falls State Park in Deep Creek Maryland. For the day I rented a stunning dress from Flutter Dress, and we wandered all over the park enjoying nature and capturing them in all of their glory as occasionally Lennie would play along when motivated by snacks and songs. Also a major shout out is needed to Billy’s sister for helping with Lennie, it would have been impossible without you <3 As the sun was setting and the park was empty, we then broke out the other wardrobe for the day and totally smoked out the top of Muddy Creek Falls. A major thank you all around to coming up to Deep Creek Lake Maryland and showing off the amazing glow that is your love and expanding family <3
