Best First Looks

Max & Kat met at a local Ithaca restaurant, Red’s Place, where Kat was a server and Max was a regular.
We moved to Denver together and are now back in our favorite place, Ithaca. 

We met 9 years ago at the Stoneyard Brewery in Brockport, New York where Christy worked and Ryan frequented. It wasn’t long until after shift drinks turned into first dates, first apartments, multiple cities, and a couple fur babies. Having lived in Boston the last four years, we are excited to have finally married in our beloved Adirondacks surrounded by our closest friends and family.

SUNY Oneonta is where it all began. In 2016, we became fast friends. While we were there, we both learned about our adventurous and creative sides. These were the things we learned to love most about each other.
In 2018, we packed up our belongings and moved cross country to Los Angeles. While we were in L.A., we got to explore the vast beauty that California had to offer, while both flourish within our respective careers. While we were there, we adopted our dog, Shelby Cobra Maranga-Jacobson (yes after the car).
In 2021, after a long evening of Mexican food and too much California sun, we got engaged.  A few months later we packed up our bright Orange Subaru and moved back east to Atlanta, GA.  
Ever since becoming friends in 2016, we have not lost our adventurous and creative sparks. We frequently explore new areas and try new hobbies. On July 31st, 2022, we officially became Mr. & Mrs. Maranga-Jacobson, which was our most creative and exciting adventure yet. We can’t wait to see what comes next!
