Before i share about this Historic Poole Forge Engagement, I (Kate) want to take a moment to celebrate a friendship that’s near and dear to my heart. MaryKate, who’s been my friend for over 15 years and was my maid of honor, is about to start a new chapter with her sweet fiancé, JT. It’s a perfect time to reflect on our journey together and the amazing moments we’ve shared.
It feels like just yesterday we met at a small group Bible study through our church. Who knew that meeting in such a simple way would lead to such a strong, irreplaceable bond? Through all the ups and downs—late-night heart-to-hearts, sharing an apartment, and even working together—MaryKate has been my dear friend. Our friendship has truly stood the test of time.
As the years passed, we celebrated each other’s milestones, from career wins to the joys of starting families. Naturally, when it was my turn to get married, there was no question who I wanted my side as my maid of honor. MaryKate was perfect for the role, bringing joy and laughter to every step of the wedding planning.
One standout moment was their Historic Poole Forge Engagement session. Honestly, it was a total blast seeing MaryKate and JT’s love and happiness light up the lens. Plus, their connection was so strong, and the session really captured their bond perfectly. What’s more, the laughter and joy they shared were absolutely infectious, showing clearly that they’re totally meant for each other.
As their wedding day approaches, I’m filled with excitement and a bit of nostalgia. Watching MaryKate and JT start this new chapter together is incredibly special. Their love story is a beautiful testament to the power of true love, and I’m confident their future will be full of happiness and cherished moments.
MaryKate, thank you for letting me be a part of your story. Capturing your Historic Poole Forge Engagement was an honor, and I’m so grateful for our extraordinary friendship. As you prepare to say “I do,” know that I’m here cheering you on and celebrating with you every step of the way. Here’s to a lifetime of love and joy!
Cheers to You Both!

From your first look to your last dance, I’ll be there to capture the moments that make your wedding day unforgettable. Let’s create memories you’ll cherish forever—and have fun doing it!
I can’t with you! I am so grateful you’re doing our wedding, since you obviously didn’t have to and could have just been a guest enjoying the day. Selfishly, I am happy you are because I wouldn’t trust anyone else to make perfectly beautiful photos of our day. To have a lifelong friend who knows you, can tell what you’re feeling before you speak, and has seen your face through the worst and best times there really isn’t anyone better to capture pictures of such an important day. I have the utmost respect for the artist that you are and even more love for the friendship I have with you. You’re my HOR girl for life. Love you always.
