As Maggi and Ryan thought about their perfect wedding day, they saw all their friends and family, they envisioned bright vibrant colors, and they heard lots of laughter. They put so much work into making it the perfect day, only to face some major uncertainty because of COVID19.

They considered postponing, but when it came down to it, what really mattered was celebrating their love for each other and starting this new and exciting chapter in their lives. Getting married during a pandemic is part of their history. It’s the story they’ll share for years to come. And while it may not have been as big of a celebration as originally planned, it was still filled with their immediate families and their very closest friends, beautiful sage colored skirts and vibrant spring flowers, and more laughter than they every could have imagined. Like the kind of laughter that makes you laugh just watching them laugh. And to make it extra special, Maggi’s sister and future brother-in-law made them a special video with messages of congratulations, advice, and well wishes from friends and family that weren’t able to attend. Seriously the sweetest thing ever.

Maggi and Ryan, your ability to overcome such a stressful roadblock, and to be able to carry on with such grace and joy is truly a testament to your character and your love for one another. I am so excited to see where this next chapter takes you and all the adventures you go on together!

Thank you so much for welcoming me into your world and trusting me to document such a special time in your lives!
