Maddie & Jackson had been waiting for this day for so long after rescheduling their 2020 wedding day, and this past Saturday they finally were pronounced husband & wife!! This couldn’t have been a more beautiful fall mountain wedding and I’m so thrilled that everything came together so perfectly for them! Oh and this party y’all, what a time!! It was a day they’ll never forget and the start of their lives together as Mr. & Mrs. Rider! Congratulations to the happy couple!

Y’all I just have to say…whenever I found out that I was pregnant and going to have to miss some of my fall weddings because of maternity leave, this one was particularly hard to miss!! I had gotten to know Maddie & Jackson for some time now due to covid rescheduling and we had connected so well! They really trusted me and I was heartbroken to tell them that I couldn’t shoot their big day. But the MMP team did a phenomenal job documenting every sweet moment of their wedding and I cannot be more happy for these two now that they FINALLY got the wedding of their dreams!!
