Charming Wedding at the Union Trust | Tarryn & Connor

Tarryn and Connor’s love story began with a swipe. After weeks of talking on Bumble, they decided to meet in person for the first time on the boardwalk in Ocean City. What was meant to be a simple date turned into three unforgettable hours of walking, talking, and sharing pizza at Preps. From that moment, something just clicked. For Tarryn, it was Connor’s smile, his laugh, and the way he cared so deeply for his family that made her fall in love.

For Connor, it was Tarryn’s perspective on life, her ambition, and the way she scrunched her nose when she laughed that made him know she was the one. Their bond grew naturally, strengthened by shared values and a love that felt effortless. The realization that they had found their forever came at different moments but with the same certainty. A few months after their first date, Tarryn knew while spending a simple, cozy day at Connor’s parents’ house. For Connor, it hit him after their first Christmas trip together-when Tarryn’s parents picked her up, and he immediately started missing her. 

The Proposal: When it came time to propose, Connor planned something unforgettable. He had everything arranged in Big Sky, Montana-one of their favorite places. He found the perfect spot on top of Andesite Mountain, hired a photographer to capture the moment, and took Tarryn on an empty chairlift ride up to the peak. With the breathtaking views surrounding them, he got down on one knee and asked her to spend forever with him. Now, as they prepare for their wedding day, they can’t wait for the moment the ceremony ends and the celebration begins. After all, their love story started with laughter, adventure, and great company, so it’s only fitting that their next chapter begins with the best party of their lives.

Here are some of our favorite moments from their charming wedding at the Union Trust, beautifully captured by our Associate Photographer Cecilia for Ralph Deal Photography.
