Where do I even begin about this beautiful wedding day…

I met Rachel well over. year ago now for our first consult. I loved her from the second I heard her speak. She is seriously a killer person- she’s not only absolutely stunning, but has strong and welcoming personality that I admire so so much. She knows exactly what she wants out of lifer nd goes after it. Josh is the complete match for her- they both support each other, and when you’ve been together for as long as they have that has been tested. I know they overcome so many battles together and always came out on top. Rachel is someone I most definitely consider my friend now, and I am so thankful for all of our lunch dates, the puppy pics, and kindness that she’s shared with me. I am most thankful that Rachel and Josh invited me both into their lives, and their special day. I am so happy that this wedding was just as magical and beautiful as I had dreamed it would be. The Simpson’s (I love saying that) brought a killer team of vendors along on their day, and I feel as though they deserve a special thank you. I know details are so important, along with trusting your vendors and you guys delivered such an amazing experience to not only Rachel and Josh but to all the guests and myself as well.

and an extra special thank you to my second shooter of this day, Amanda Novena, who was so much fun to work with and stepped in last minute after my regular second had a baby! So happy to have met you Amanda!

I LOVED this pop of color Rachel added with her shoes. They were so so fun + totally matched her glam!

Rachel and Josh read vows to each other under a tree right outside the venue. They wanted the first time they saw each other to be walking down the aisle, so we had to set them up back-to-back so they wouldn’t see each other! I love how much they love each other.
”You are the

vow reading was followed by a sweet first look with Rachel’s father

we even got to sneak outside for some golden hour portraits, and Josh and Rachel got to spend a little bit of time just with each other before returning to their party with their family and friends!

and then it was officially time to dance the night away!
