A Day to Remember: The Wedding of John Paul & Rachel

John Paul and Rachel exchanged vows amidst a sea of loved ones.  Their family & friends came from near and far to celebrate their union.  The perfectly cool and sunny weather set the scene for a day filled with laughter, love, and cherished moments.

As we arrived at the wedding venue, we were greeted by Anne, the gracious venue owner; she quickly showed us around the grounds.  It was a joy to chat with her and hear a little about her story throughout the years. 

Afterward, I went to see Rachel, the bride. Her wedding dress was hanging from the ceiling & boy, was it breathtaking.  My heart quickly jumped when I saw it.   

One of my favorite moments of the day was the first look with Rachel and her dad. In all the years of photographing weddings, I am not sure I’ve ever witnessed a father-daughter first look with so much emotion.  

Kelly, our Associate Photographer, got the incredible opportunity to hang with John Paul and his groomsmen.  They had so much fun together.
