Sneak peek of Maggie and Joseph’s wedding !

Maggie, your journey is nothing short of inspiring. After enduring a life-altering accident and ten years of resilience, strength, and faith-filled recovery, you’ve shown the world what it truly means to persevere. And now, to see you standing hand in hand with your soulmate, Joe—a man whose heart reflects your own love for God and others—is deeply moving.

Your beautiful wedding at Rutgers Community Christian Church, the same place where your parents once said “I do,” is a testament to God’s faithfulness across generations. What a powerful reminder that even after the darkest chapters, grace and love can write a new beginning.

Joe and I are so privileged to be part of your special day to document and witness all the miraculous work and favors God has placed in your life.

Wishing you both a lifetime filled with joy, healing, purpose, and unwavering love. Your story is a beacon of hope. ❤️
