As Eric turned around to see Rachel for the first time in front of the magnificent fireplace at Oak Meadow Event Center, he was completely overcome by emotions. His eyes welled up with tears as he took in just how beautiful she looked at that moment. His reaction was what every bride dreams of, and we don’t blame him because Rachel was a true vision in her wedding dress!! Out of hundreds of weddings, their first look is our favorite.

It is completely obvious the moment you meet Rachel and Eric that they are head-over-heels, better than the movies in love with one another. They’re always laughing, whispering, and simply enjoying every moment together. Not many people look at one another the way these two do, and it is truly something so special.

Their wedding day was a true celebration of just how far they have come. After spending their entire relationship long distance, they’re finally married and never have to be apart again! It made the whole day so much sweeter for them, with so many loved ones coming from around the country to celebrate them. They’re such kind people and it showed in the incredible community they have built up around them.

Honestly, we could gush on and on about their day for pages; every little detail was a dream. We would so much rather you be able to see the joy, love, fun, and emotion of the day for yourself. Getting to document their wedding day as their photographers and filmmakers was such a joy. We would gladly relive their day with them a thousand times over, cherishing every moment of excitement and adoration.

Blessings,

Katie & Alec
