the fact that Elliott proposed at a Lighthouse in Cape May at the beach is so incredible and sweet. It’s permanent. That place is sentimental for a number of reasons. The love addiction in us says Lighthouse = A guide, a constant, a place of hope and safety, a place that realigns direction. How awesome that their engagement started at a lighthouse. Amy and Elliot, Patrick and I honestly can’t wait for your wedding. We are excited to come alongside you in the months to come and share life with you and share that marriage isn’t always calm waters, but at times stressful and heavy seas.

We are so excited to share this wedding because this couple is family! John is Patrick’s cousin. Jessica and I now get to be cousins by marriage. When they asked us to photograph their wedding, we were absolutely ecstatic. It’s not everyday you get to photograph your cousins wedding! And we got to be in some of the family pics haha!

We are so excited to share the wedding of the newly married Travis and Ashley Holmes!

Not only did they get married at one of Maggie’s sentimental locations (The McDonogh School), but they also had a stunning weather day, amazing bridal party, and details galore! The Belevedere Hotel was their reception venue. Wait until you see this amazing venue!

Maggie met Travis when they started teaching at McDonogh almost 5 years ago. They were both first year teachers and they both were single at the time. Almost a year ago, we got an email from an Ashley Miller, and a Travis Holmes. Maggie was ectatic, because she knew that Travis Holmes had to be the same guy she taught with right out of college. Ashley and Travis have become dear friends of ours and we loved celebrating the day with them!

I’ll never forget the inquiry I got from Stephanie and Tim for the first time they reached out to us. When the question “How did you find us?” came up, Stephanie said “We just stumbled upon you!”

This couple is the kind of couple we hope for, pray for, and get excited to work with. Not just because they “stumbled upon us” but also because they are fun, adventurous, sweet, light hearted, and when you’re with them, you feel like you’ve been friends for years.
