Cumberland, MD Wedding | Maryland Wedding Photographer | C. William Gilchrist Gallery
Megan and Jairus knew they wanted to get married, they knew they wanted a downtown vibe, but other than that they were clueless on the details of it all. I recommended utilizing C. William Gilchrist Gallery in Cumberland, Maryland. Which is a lovely Federal Style Mansion on Historic Washington Street in Cumberland, Maryland. I met up with Megan getting ready upstairs and enjoying the amazing library and we wandered around the upstairs as guests filled the downstairs. The ceremony was held at 5pm downstairs in the C. William Gilchrist Gallery, which is a rotating art gallery always full of amazing art. The large windows brought in all the light and the chandeliers glittered as Megan and Jairus’s dream day fully formed. I do not think there was a dry eye in the house after the vows were read. Afterwards we did some group photos, sent everyone on their way to dinner at Rocky Gap Casino & Resort. Meanwhile, Megan, Jairus, and myself wandered the exterior of the 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. So we enjoyed the gardens and the beauty of Washington Street. Then we went to the close by Historic Downtown area and continued to run into more of their friends as we made our way through downtown capturing their love. Afterwards, I sent them on their way to feast and we called it a very successful day.
The beauty of getting married is it’s what you desire. For Megan and Jairus, they really desired a full couples session vibe with their wedding. So we made it happen and it all worked out beautifully for them.

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.

Dani and Spencer’s wedding day at Deep Creek Lake was an absolute blast! Their main focus of the day was wanting to enjoy the day with their friends and family, and I think they succeeded. Their officiant was their next door neighbor in New Orleans who flew in for the affair. They had an amazing band rock the party that also came in from New Orleans. 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!
