What started out as family friendships has now turned into forever family! It all began when Collin and Maddi's parents became friends in high school ... leading them to one another years later.

Collin and Maddi began their friendship in October of 2020 coincidently at another wedding. After building upon their friendship and some long persuading, Collin won her over and they officially started dating in March of 2022. After enduring a long six months (dramatic I know) of long distance, Maddi received a new job and moved on down to the Lone Star state in September of 2022. While living together brought a lot of challenges and questions, they fought hard for one another and they have never been happier! After a year and a half of being together through everyday life; Collin finally popped the question on August 2, 2023 and their love has never been stronger. They celebrated their two year anniversary on March 17, 2024 and couldn't think of a better way to celebrate their love then by taking engagement photos!

After lots of ups and downs; new jobs, long distance (again), co-parenting and so much more; they have continued to put God first, love each other fiercely and are truly a wonderful testament to what love is and can be if you put one another first and stick to each other's sides. We are beyond excited for our love to continue growing and to see what God has in store for us as we step into marriage.
