Thank you so much to Harley and Nicole for picking me to capture their day and for being fabulous.

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.

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

On a warm sunny Saturday, on the grooms family farm, Amanda and RJ threw one heck of a party and joined their forces. The day was full of tons of laughter, love, puppies, lots of sunshine, hayrides, and moonshine. The endless view of mountains and valleys below Big Savage Mountain made for a breathtaking backdrop. The hazey sunset thanks to the smoke from the wildfires made for a gorgeous pink sky sunset.

Adam and Morgan met up with me in Oakland, MD, then we wandered over to Swallow Falls State Park, and then ended the day at Deep Creek Lake State Park and watched the sunset.
I have known Morgan forever thanks to her being a year younger than me in private school. So I figured what better way to spend the day then stumble around the area around where they are getting married, and just take our time taking their engagement photos and catching up.
We spent the time chatting about life after school, how her and Adam met, them living in Aspen, Colorado and having a puppy named for that life adventure. Adam enjoys photography as well and does some wonderful work with landscapes and we chatted about his love coming from getting into astro photography out west. It was a nice day spent wandering about with an old friend and a new friend. I can’t wait for their fall wedding in Garrett County, MD!!
Cumberland, MD Wedding | Maryland Wedding Photographer | C. William Gilchrist Gallery | Allegany Museum
On a sunny afternoon in September of 2019 Courtney and Jeremy tied the knot at the C. William Gilchrist Gallery in Cumberland, Maryland. The day started with Courtney and her bridesmaids getting ready at her parents house down the street. Then we made our way up the hill to get dressed and take some awesome photos at the gallery. The ceremony was held in the back gardens of the C. William Gilchrist 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. Once the ceremony was done and we made our way through group portraits Courtney’s dad drove the lovely couple to their reception at the Allegany Museum in their neighbor’s vintage Rolls Royce. Once at the museum dancing and food ensued. Black Guy Fawkes played some songs and kept the crowd pleased. All in all it was a lovely early fall wedding day in Western Maryland.

Sometimes bopping around is well worth the adventure. K and J popped up into town and we hit some great spots in our engagement session journey. We hit Green Ridge State Forest, Rocky Gap State Park, and then stopped at Locust Post Brewery for beers to wrap up our adventure and chat while checking out Tony’s fantastic art. I loved getting to capture the energy of this fabulous goofy duo in their own element on what is a typical date night adventure for them, but in my backyard. Thanks for driving up and catching some of the beauty of Western Maryland.

Lexi, Ian, and Andie had me come to their lovely farm in Damascus, Maryland and capture their love. We took the farm truck up through the land and Lexi, Andie, and I enjoyed the wind in our hair and the gorgeous early fall weather. The farm is Ian’s family’s land so it was super neat to wander around and soak in the full beauty and memories that fill the land. Andie in pure farm dog glory photobombed all day and lived her best life as the star of the show. We bopped from field to field, greeting the various cows along the way. Considering this lovely pair met in veterinary school, I couldn’t think of a more perfect way to celebrate their love and capture their energy. I cannot wait until their May wedding where we will get to hang out with their loved ones and some amazing horses.

Smiles, laughter, and dancing filled the energy of the whole day. Major thanks to Spencer and Dani for having me capture your Deep Creek Wedding!
