Rachel and Jonathan had good luck on their wedding day, a lot of it!
It rained and rained!
Fortunately we had a few moments throughout the day to slip outside for some beautiful portraits.
And I'm pretty confident they don't need luck, they've got beautiful, supportive families surrounding them.

Getting to know my clients and their families is my favorite part of photographing weddings.
I have been truly blessed these last nine years of making wedding pictures to have met some incredibly
kind, fun, talented, extraordinary people. I am proud to now call many of them friend.
Rachael and Matt were maybe the fastest connection in all these years.
I'm pretty sure she and I felt like old friends after our first meeting at Point Brugge.
Then we had our first of two engagement sessions at The Carnegie Museum, Town.
Our second, Country engagement out here in Ligonier. We chatted and drank wine for hours after. ( I'll post this on the blog soon!)
They attended a fall "Boxwood Soiree" party at my cottage last year and made fast friends.
This is why I photograph weddings.
This is why I don't feel "burned out" on weddings.
It's relational, I love people.
Even when photographing folks that may not "get my crazy",
I fall a little in love with everyone I get to work with.
Thank you Rachael + Matt for being the authentic, loving and kind people that you are.
Heidi and I absolutely loved your families, friends, AMAZING DJ!! And had an absolute blast at your wedding... obviously!!
