Hello!
My name is Chase, and I’m so happy you’re here! I’ve been working with Cumberland Weddings since 2019, and to say we have the best time is an understatement! My passion for weddings started that same year, and I’ve been hooked ever since. What I enjoy most about a wedding day is the pure joy and excitement—it’s a day filled with smiles, happy moments, and the kind of memories that couples will cherish for years to come!
If I had to pick a favorite moment on a wedding day, it would definitely be the first look. That moment when a couple sees each other for the first time—just the sweetest! I also love making my couples laugh because if we’re not laughing, we’re not having fun!
A little about me—I live in Des Moines with my 5-year-old Miniature Dachshund, Xena. When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me running, reading, crocheting, or out on a walk with Xena!
