The Sweetest Love Story | Jackson & Maddie
Maddie and Jackson are the kind of couple that reminds you why you love this job. Their connection is deep, genuine, and tender. They first met thanks to a mutual friend—Jackson’s twin brother was dating one of Maddie’s friends—and from the moment they were introduced, they were inseparable. Their proposal story is just as sweet: during Maddie’s senior photo session, Jackson got down on one knee outside the art museum near Chattanooga’s iconic walking bridge.
When asked to describe their relationship, both Maddie and Jackson said the same thing: they’re best friends. They do everything together—from daily errands to spontaneous date nights trying new restaurants. Their relationship is filled with affection, calmness, and support. Maddie shared that Jackson’s presence is always steady and comforting, especially in moments of anxiety. And Jackson? He beams when he talks about Maddie, saying she encourages him to be his best self every day. Their love is quiet, constant, and joyful.
