“When you trust someone, you don’t need to know everything.”

— Bob Goff

Once Brandon and Rachel decided they wanted to be married, they wasted no time making it happen. A quick six week engagement was plenty to make all the necessary plans, get the families on board and say their I Do’s. Apparently the actual proposal was almost an accident as they chatted over face time, but once it was decided they knew they’d made the right choice and moved forward full of excitement.

It was evident to them both from the first day they met that God was at the center of each persons’ life, and that qualifier was the most important to each of them. The fact that they both loved Crossfit and dancing among other things were simply bonuses.

You know you’re working with the most chill family in the world when they take time to play spoons before the ceremony. Everyone had the very best time, you could hear the laughter over the torrential downpour happening outside and it was wonderful.

We had to sneak in a quick first look with dad just after the first look with Brandon. He was so kind to blow all the leaves away from the shooting area to make the photos better.

We might have taken a four wheeler down a super sketchy bank to make it to this beach, but it was totally worth it!

Rachel’s sweet grandmother made it her full time job over the past month to make each and every decoration for the reception. She and Rachel’s mother hand picked all the dried flowers for the arrangements out of a field by their home and it just made everything feel so magical.

They couldn’t help but dance down the aisle, as the first time they met involved lots of singing and dancing to High School Musical. (That, btw, is when Rachel knew he was the one) ;)
