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.

Joesph and Nicole had a lovely microwedding at the Blue Ridge Center for Environmental Stewardship in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia. They had a handfasting ceremony in front of all their friends and family. Afterwards they did a beautiful dance to Hoizer’s Work Song. Then after their dance the best potluck dinner occurred with Cuban, Filipino, and American dishes. Joseph works at Lost Ark, so the drinks we also fantastic and featured some of their liquors. Their intimate affair was wonderful and I am so glad I got to meet them and their people and capture their day.

The B family just moved into the area recently and I figured there is no better way to celebrate fall then in Old Ellicott City. So we wandered around, soaking up the lights, the beauty, the foliage, and the overall wonder of Old Ellicott City in the fall. The evening even ended with a fabulous pink sky sunset to wrap up and beauty and oddly warm fall day.

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.

Heather and Logan’s maternity session was a creative way to create a beautiful day. We had planned on Spruce Mountain Lake, but with a hurricane in town that we couldn’t dodge before baby R was due to make his appearance. So, we found some light rain only at Seneca Rocks, WV and enjoyed the light rain as we adventured around the park. Then we drove into Cumberland, MD and got some extra awesome play time in with these fabulous gowns downtown in the shimmer of the lights.
