Green Ridge State Forest Microwedding Elopement | Flintstone, MD | Cumberland, MD Wedding Elopement Photographer | Western Maryland Wedding

Jenna and Blake decided to have their elopement style microwedding at Zumbrun Overlook at Green Ridge State Forest in beautiful Mountain Maryland.

This duo decided to do the thing under the afternoon sun on a clear sky early September day. In attendance were all of their family, and a surprise audience of roughly +200 Hispanic hikers doing a team hike of the Great Eastern Trail . Thank you guys for being awesome and cheering Blake and Jenna on, and for hiding out and holding the team split while we did the thing. You all are fabulous❤️

Congratulations to Blake and Jenna, May life always gift you good surprises ❤️

**Nerd note for my hiking couples: Green Ridge State Forest is the largest continuous block of public land in Maryland. The park is 46,000 acres and spans two counties. On the side closest to 68 you are right against the PA state line as some trails continue into Buchanan State Forest. On the other side you are right near Paw Paw, WV and the Paw Paw Tunnel.

During Covid lockdowns this is where you could find me every day. Finding different little gems throughout the park, or camping close to the best swimming holes. The park itself is definitely designed for serious outdoors people, with rough roads, and long steep hiking trails. It’s also a research first sort of space, some trails are nicely marked and easy to follow. Other ones… not so much.
