This past July, I had the joy of capturing Marlee and Jack’s wedding day at the beautiful Jubilee Farm in Leonardtown. From the very beginning of the day, it was so clear how much love surrounded these two—and how deeply rooted their relationship is in faith, family, and pure joy.

One of my favorite moments was their first look. You could see the nerves and excitement melt away the second they saw each other, and it was such a quiet, emotional pause before the chaos of the day really began. My absolute favorite part was where all of the bridesmaids were looking out of the door to catch the first look.

The ceremony itself was intimate and heartfelt, with their closest friends and family gathered around. Every vow, every prayer, and every smile felt like a reflection of the foundation they’ve built together. The reception was overflowing with emotion too—kicking off with the sweetest first dance, followed by parent dances that had everyone tearing up. The speeches were some of the most heartfelt I’ve ever heard. Marlee’s aunt even stood to speak, sharing just how special their relationship truly is. And the line I’ll never forget? Hearing Jack say that Marlee brought him back to God. Truly the most beautiful testimony of love and faith.

Later in the evening, as the sun set, we slipped away from the reception for their golden hour portraits. Jubilee Farm has the dreamiest glow this time of day, and it gave Marlee and Jack a chance to just be together in the middle of all the excitement. The cross they were married under still had two empty seats placed near it, almost as if it was waiting just for them. It felt like such a powerful, meant-to-be moment, perfectly tying together their love story and their faith. Those portraits ended up being some of the most beautiful and meaningful images of the day.

Of course, it wouldn’t be complete without a dance floor that stayed absolutely packed all night long. From the best man breaking out his favorite moves (including the worm!) to friends and family singing along at the top of their lungs, it was electric in the best way. The evening wrapped up with a picture-perfect bubble send off, with Marlee and Jack beaming as they walked through their loved ones, surrounded by floating bubbles and cheers.

Marlee and Jack’s wedding wasn’t just a celebration of their love story.. it was a day that reminded everyone present of the power of faith, and the joy that comes when two souls find their perfect match.
