Maggie and Andrew – A Classic Cape Cod Wedding at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Church and the Coonamesssett in Falmouth, MA

Maggie and Andrew first met nearly 11 years ago in college, where they were both members of the sailing team. On Maggie’s very first day of practice, she was paired with Andrew in his boat—a match that marked the beginning of a close friendship. After a year of spending time together on the water and off, their connection grew into a relationship during Maggie’s junior year and Andrew’s senior year. They’ve been together ever since, building a life full of shared adventures, from exploring New York City to traveling the world.

We began our day with the couple at their ceremony at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton in Falmouth, MA—the very same church where Maggie’s parents and older sister were married. The location holds deep sentimental meaning for Maggie and her family, adding a beautiful sense of continuity to the celebration.

The reception took place at the Coonamessett, a venue chosen for its classic New England charm, spacious dance floor, and the perfect blend of picturesque outdoor scenery and light-filled indoor space.

The couple thoughtfully incorporated personal touches throughout the day. As a tribute to generations before them, wedding portraits of their parents and grandparents were displayed at the front of the reception, creating a meaningful bridge between past and present. While their beloved 11-month-old dog, Skipper, couldn’t attend the festivities, he was honored with a signature cocktail in his name. Guests also enjoyed two other meaningful drinks: an Aperol Spritz, celebrating their engagement in Austria, and a Dark & Stormy—a nod to their sailing roots and favorite post-sail refreshment.

Maggie and Andrew, it was truly a joy to be part of your special day and to see some familiar faces! Thank you so much for having us—it was an absolute pleasure to document your beautiful celebration!
