Mary and Wade's wedding was an absolute delight from start to finish. From the moment I began working with them, I knew I was in for something truly special. Mary's connection to Cape May runs deep, stemming from cherished childhood memories of summers spent with her grandparents. So, when the opportunity arose to tie the knot at the historic Congress Hall, it was a dream come true for her.

During their engagement session, it was evident how comfortable and relaxed Mary felt in Cape May. It's more than just a picturesque backdrop for her; it's a place filled with meaning and nostalgia. I felt privileged to share in this intimate part of her life.

The wedding day itself was a seamless affair, with Mary and Wade exuding an effortless joy that set the tone for the entire celebration. They were fully present, basking in the love and excitement of the moment—a photographer's dream come true.

The ceremony took place at Our Lady Star of the Sea, a poignant setting for the union of two souls deeply in love. After exchanging vows, we captured some timeless portraits before heading to Congress Hall for the remainder of the session. The transition was seamless, mirroring the smooth flow of the day.

As the evening unfolded, guests gathered for cocktail hour followed by a heartfelt reception. Toasts and speeches filled the air with love and laughter, setting the stage for a night of dancing and revelry. And what a night it was! The energy was infectious, and everyone danced with abandon, creating memories that would last a lifetime.

I'm incredibly grateful to Mary and Wade for allowing me to play a part in their special day. It was an honor and a privilege to witness their love story unfold against the backdrop of Cape May's timeless charm. Here's to many more years of happiness and cherished memories together. Cheers!
