💍 She said YES!
At one of the prettiest places in Southern Maryland, and in the middle of the Canadian wildfire haze, Cole popped the question after five years together 🥹 I still remember taking Megan’s senior photos years ago at the farm when she asked if it was okay for her boyfriend to hop in for a few pictures. Of course I said yes. They were so young and had so much ahead of them. Fast forward to today, and they still have that same spark. That’s not always easy to hold onto as life goes on, which made this proposal even sweeter ❤️ Great job Cole for planning this out, Megan said “You got me goooood” and was completely surprised 🥹 Love to see it

I’m so excited to share a few sneak peeks from Macey + Spencer’s wedding day on May 30, 2026! Putting together a preview gallery is always harder than it looks, trying to narrow down hundreds of moments while still telling the story of the day is no easy task. But one thing that stood out immediately as I went through these images was just how naturally these two fit together. The way they simply enjoy being in each other’s presence says more than I ever could. It was such a windy day, but we all just embraced it. The wind gave us so many beautiful, windswept veil moments and I'm not complaining about that! Congrats to Macey and Spencer! ✨🩷

Sharing this, written by my husband who is such a great writer ❤️🇺🇸

Hey everyone, this is Nick Wright - I have commandeered the company page for a special Memorial Day post.

During my time in the Marine Corps, we often heard from within that we stand on the shoulders of giants. This phrase was not used lightly. It was used to honor those Marines who gave all, and to ensure the effort you put in matches the sacrifice they made.

Corporal Jason Dunham is one of those giants. During combat operations in Husaybah, Iraq, Cpl. Dunham led his squad toward an enemy convoy who was fleeing the town after ambushing U.S. forces 2 blocks away. As Cpl. Dunham and his Marines closed in on the enemy convoy, the occupants jumped out and began engaging the Marines. Corporal Dunham engaged the driver of the lead car in hand-to-hand combat, and during the struggle, the driver released a gr***de. Knowing his fellow Marines would be killed or severely wounded from this, Cpl. Dunham covered the gr***de with his body - fatally absorbing the blast. He was 22 years old.

Today, and all days, we remember and honor the sacrifice of men like Jason Dunham. They are truly heroes and should not be forgotten.

There’s something about the softness, the mood, and the “we’re doing this anyway” kind of love that a rainy wedding day brings 🫶🏻☔️
I’ve been holding out on planting my garden this year, Nick built me a new garden fence to keep all the little critters out, and I was waiting for all the frost warnings to finally end. Anywho… I planted everything yesterday in the rain and it made me way happier than it probably should have knowing I didn’t have to water a single thing after 😆

The first thing I do when I arrive on a wedding day is scope out the property, head to the bridal suite, and start by hanging the gown. The way these simple details help shape your gallery is truly amazing. So many times after taking these photos, I catch myself thinking, “wow… this is the last time this dress will ever hang perfectly untouched.” 🥹 It’s such a quiet little moment before one of the biggest moments of your life begins 💗
