A courthouse microwedding in West Virginia
We captured Charlee and Zach’s microwedding (minimony?) at the courthouse in Fairmont, WV, inside the courtroom named after her late father and former judge. It was sweet, full of tears, and honestly such a privilege to be the ones to document this day.
After the courthouse cleared out, Charlee had one goal- kick her heels up and eat a croissant. So we did just that.
An intimate wedding in Canaan Valley, WV
Olivia and Ben planned their intimate wedding in Canaan Valley, WV in less than 3 weeks. They booked an Airbnb that has private access to a section of Dolly Sods, so naturally their ceremony location was easy choice.
10/10 highly recommend just going for it and getting married however the hell you want.
A jazzed-up wedding at Gaines Estate in Fayetteville, WV
Christina is my favorite #scorpioqueen and the Gaines Estate is one of my favorite wedding venues in West Virginia. Hailing from New Orleans, but with West Virginia roots, Christina and John wanted to incorporate some jazzy traditions into their wedding day, and a 2nd line parade following the ceremony was the perfect way to do so.

A private and cold elopement at Dolly Sods in October.
A quick fun story before their beautiful fall elopement gallery at Dolly Sods. When L+J made it to our neck of the woods, a wild cold front had moved in. Their elopement day called for 28 degrees and a wind chill like you wouldn’t believe. This one one of the coldest, if not THE coldest elopements we have ever worked. It was a shorter day, only 2 hours, but in those 2 hours we had to go warm up in the car three times. Our hands were numb, the wind was not kind, but man was it unforgettable.

An intimate elopement at Dolly Sods, West Virginia in October
Eloping in Dolly Sods is not for the faint of heart. With the most unpredictable weather patterns in West Virginia, most of our couples take a gamble when they choose Dolly Sods for their elopement location. October brings a variety of challenges including an influx of tourists to the area, thunderstorms, high winds, and low temperatures. Although every single time we’ve shot an elopement at Dolly Sods, the weather has been perfect. Jeahna and Isaias’ special day in October was no different. Mild temperatures, moody skies, and having the place practically to ourselves (because they eloped on a Wednesday!) made for the most special day.

A fall wedding at the new wedding venue in West Virginia, The Wilderness Lodge.
These two got married on a Tuesday and if you know me, you know that that’s one of my favorite things in the world. The new venue in WV (which is not a barn!) held the nuptials and celebration of Kelsey and Jake on this wickedly warm weekday in September.
