The GREENBRIER Resort
The Greenbrier is truly one of the most distinctive venues I’ve ever had the pleasure of photographing. Nestled in the Allegheny Mountains, this luxury resort is a destination wedding dream.
The iconic Dorothy Draper interiors are bold, colorful, and full of personality — a little quirky in the best way, yet still incredibly elegant. It’s a place where every corner feels like a set from a classic film, and it brings such a fun, vibrant energy to wedding days.
Even on a slightly rainy day, like the one I photographed, the resort offered stunning indoor options that made the day feel just as magical.

For portraits, I love exploring the resort's vibrant interiors — the bold wallpapers, grand staircases, and unique furnishings provide endless creative opportunities - hey, maybe even the bomb shelter?! The drapes, the furniture, and the carpeting are all amazing.
The gardens and surrounding grounds are equally stunning, offering lush greenery and mountain views. One of my favorite shots was taken at night outside the resort, capturing its illuminated facade against the evening sky. Even with a bit of rain, the resort's charm shines through in every photo.
