Rachel & Eric’s story all started in Kentucky thanks to the little app called Bumble. Once they met, they knew that this relationship was different and that they had found “the one.” Little did they know that just 4 months into dating, they’d face long-distance dating for their jobs. Despite going from living in the same state to living across the country from one another, their relationship continued to deepen and grow. No amount of distance could stop them from being together.

After patiently dating long distance, they got engaged at the end of last year and set a wedding date for July 2023. That date means so much more to them than just their wedding day; although that would be enough, it also signals the end of the long-distance relationship and the beginning of forever together.  It is definitely going to be a celebration for so many reasons!

We knew from meeting with them over zoom that they were so sweet and fun! Meeting them in person solidified that for us and showed us that they’re an incredible couple and that they’re obviously meant to be together. We also got to meet their adorable Goldendoodle pup, Beaux! He’s got the cutest personality, and 100% attempted to steal the show. Just wait until you see their official family photos; they’re so sweet!

When Rachel & Eric stepped out of the car, we felt like they might as well have been stepping out onto the red carpet. They looked stunning and ready for their close-up! Even better than how good they looked was how much fun they had together. When we say they were constantly cracking each other up and lighting up with the happiest smiles when they looked at each other, it was like they were in their own world. You can feel the chemistry between them, and it’s electrifying!

Their wedding is coming up this summer at the gorgeous Oak Meadow Event Center in Ohatchee, Alabama. We can’t wait to get them back in front of our cameras for both their photos and film!! Y’all, we can already tell you it is going to be GOOD.

Blessings,

Katie & Alec
