Josh and Rachel are one of those couples that everyone loves…they have a certain way about them that makes them so fun to be around because they are not afraid to have fun and never seem to take themselves too seriously….and I knew shooting their wedding was going to be a lot of fun! Especially because on top of having the best, easy going personalities, they are also an absolutely gorgeous couple! A few things small things didn’t go as planned on their wedding day (which happens on MOST weddings days I would argue…), but you would never know it because Rachel was just so thrilled to be marrying Josh!
They chose to get married at The Mill at Fine Creek which fit the look they were going for perfectly…Rachel wanted it to feel classic and elegant, but relaxed and it worked out so well! I especially love when couples choose to get married outside or in unconventional locations…I had photographed two weddings at the Mill previously, but had never photographed a wedding on the cobblestone right in front of the building…it was GORGEOUS! The sun was going down and the lighting was breathtaking as Rachel and Josh made their vows to love and cherish each other forever.
After the ceremony we hurried to fit in all of their portraits before it got dark and we made it down to the creek just as the sun was sinking beneath the trees…The lighting was soft and romantic and I can’t wait for you to see the portraits of them!
Rachel and Josh, thank you so much again for having me be a part of your wedding day…It was such an honor! I hope you enjoy my favorites!!
Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Wilson!!

That last shot is one of my absolute favorites of yours, ever!! I just love the string light & stone!! And I love the B&W of him giving her a piggy-back ride … it totally fits with the “relaxed” vibe you said they have!

You could feel God’s pleasure and favor all over the wedding. The prayer huddle around the unity candle was especially tender. The pictures truly captured the ‘real’ Josh and Rachel. A privilege to be a part of such a holy experience!
