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.

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.
