An Independence Day Wedding at a Family Estate in Bridgewater, Connecticut

A Wedding Rooted in Legacy and Love

Some weddings are simply beautiful. Others carry a depth of meaning you can feel the moment you arrive. Madison and Walker’s wedding weekend in Bridgewater, Connecticut was one of those rare celebrations where every detail told a story — of faith, family, and the country they both serve so faithfully.

When someone like Madison — the first active-duty military Miss America 2024, now studying at Harvard — marries someone like Walker — an accomplished Air Force pilot-in-training with a deep family legacy of service — you know the celebration will be extraordinary.

A Family Estate Steeped in History

Honoring family tradition, the couple exchanged vows on Walker’s grandparents’ estate in Bridgewater, Connecticut — a property that stands as a shining symbol of the American dream they’ve each committed their lives to defend.

In one of the most sentimental moments of the day, Madison got ready in her mother-in-law’s childhood bedroom — the very same room where she once prepared for her own wedding.
Surrounded by keepsakes, legacy, and love, the moment carried a sense of continuity that words can hardly describe.

As Madison slipped into her gown, sunlight filtered softly through the old windows, casting a nostalgic glow that perfectly mirrored the tone of the day — timeless, heartfelt, and quietly elegant.

— Madison

Kind Words from Madison and Walker

“My wife and I agree that our wedding day was one of the best days of our lives – we get to relive this day forever only because of the amazing work of Cameron and Elizabeth.

From the first shoot they went above and beyond our expectations. They came with a full plan for locations, angles and poses while also allowing us to flow naturally when the moment called for it. Their flexibility and preparation showed us their true professionalism… I can’t recommend Cameron and Elizabeth enough! They will give you more than just pictures and videos but they will give you the ability to relive your happiest moments forever!”
