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.

Connor and Kristina's rustic boho farm wedding at their family farm was a lovely day. The views on Jackson Mountain in Lonaconing, MD were absolutely stunning. We started the day down the mountain and in town at their home for the getting ready festivities. Where all the bridesmaids donned matching pjs and we popped champagne and had a toast. After that we got Kristina into her dress and watched her mother absolutely bawl her eyes out. Everyone got a first look that day, her mom, her dad, her bridesmaids, and then eventually Connor did as she floated down the aisle. This day was a rare one where I got to be a second shooter, which means basically I get to handle all the details or little missed moments, capture the backups of things, and make sure everything runs smoothly. It’s often something I try to do at least once a season. Something about being out of the driver seat is nice for relaxing the mind and enjoying the flow of it all. This day was perfect for that. Their puppy Finn was running around living his best life. The kiddos were doing their thing. The wedding parties on both sides were large and full of their own goofy spirit. Just even the views themselves were beyond stunning and fully made the day and I think we took full advantage of that.
Spooky Fall Elopement | Oldtown, MD | Paw Paw Tunnel | Western Maryland Elopement
Rebekah and Nova landed on the idea of a Friday the 13th Elopement at the Paw Paw Tunnel on the C&O Canal in Oldtown, Maryland and they proceeded to go all out. This Victorian Era and spooky inspired elopement featured lanterns, top hats, spooky tunes, the late hours of golden hour into sunset, a freshly renovated overlook ontop of the over 3,000 ft long tunnel, and more. The ceremony was inspired by the day and featured the duo breaking their own mirror in order to make their own bad luck together and have a sense of control over that. They decided to end the evening by taking a walk into the stagnant Canal water together in order to fully cement their union.

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.

Jason and Tonya eloped on top of Marsh Mountain at the Wisp Resort in McHenry, Maryland in February 2022. When I arrived at their suite Jason’s lovely amazing mom was helping Tonya get ready. Once everyone was ready to go we went downstairs to meet up with Jason’s father and head up the mountain in a caravan fashion. The planner picked a lovely spot overlooking the view of Deep Creek lake below and we were off to the races as the wind tried to blow us away. Afterwards we went to a less windy spot to grab some family pictures and pictures of Jason and Tonya as their marriage sunk in and shined through them.
