Rachel & Elliott - The Wedding!

I met Rachel a year ago at the super fun and stylish wedding of Heather & Jonnie. I was THRILLED to get to work with Rachel, because I knew her day would also be super fun and stylish. And she did not disappoint! Rachel & Elliott have some of THE best friends, and they kept us laughing all night, which came in handy, because the ceremony started at 11 PM. Oh yeah, these lovebirds were also night owls! It was such a romantic ceremony, super fun reception - and did I mention how awesome everyone involved was? Even my own Ninja skills came into play. Here are some highlights!!!

5-Hour Energy and Monsters were all over the hotel room!

Cool story:
This mirror belonged to Brittany, one of Rachel's (and Heather's!) bridesmaids, and has been the "something borrowed" in their huge circle of friends' weddings for every one of them! (The ring is Rachel's.)

Love these!!!

I just LOVE this shot.

Quite possibly a favorite group shot EVER.

In addition to the traditional guest book, Rachel's sister painted this canvas that allowed guests to leave their fingerprints! SUCH a cool thing that will hang in Rachel & Elliott's home as a reminder of their loved ones!

AMAZING moment - while dancing with her Daddy, Rachel kicked off her heels and hopped onto his feet! There wasn't a dry eye in the HOUSE, including mine, but that's to be expected.

Rachel & Elliott had personal touches everywhere.
A few years ago, long before they were even engaged, Rachel accompanied Elliott to New Jersey to visit his grandparents (who have an amazing love story of their own). While there, Elliott's grandmother took Rachel aside and presented her with a necklace that belonged to her, a gift from Elliott's grandfather. Swoon. Rachel wore it as her "something blue", and I was lucky to capture everyone's reaction when she showed it off!

You would've had to be there.

AMAZING exit shot.

Rachel & Elliott, thank you SO MUCH for letting me come hang out with you and your friends!!! The special touches, the friends you surround yourself with, ALL of Rachel's hard work - it all came together to create a FANTASTIC evening/morning! Congratulations to the two of you!!!
