This evening could not have been more perfect. The light was ever so stunning, making Rachel glow so beautifully. The fall colors this time of year are breath taking. The amazing work by Eden’s Bloom, truly made these images come alive, with the cascading bridal bouquet, with its whimsical greens paired with the elegance of the roses and dahlia. This time together was so fun and relaxing. The best part was seeing how her insecurities and nerves started to fade away as I kept shooting. I loved seeing her start to own her beauty and grace, you can truly see her shine.
Rachel was a bride in 2014, but desired to have more bridal photos, since on her wedding day they were limited. Of course I had to make this happen! Rachel is one of the most beautiful souls I know. She is ambitious, brilliant, compassionate, committed, and wise. And as you can see, she is absolutely gorgeous. Her sweet heart radiates from the inside out.

That light was so dreamy!

I love everything about this bouquet!!! This is perfect for a bride who loves the earthy, Bohemian style.

The special part about Rachel’s dress is that her buttons actually came from her mother’s wedding dress!

This picture truly embodies Rachel! She has been twirling her hair since she was a little girl. Some things never change!

These grounds were where Rachel and her husband Jordan celebrated their wedding reception. It ended up being the perfect location to recreate the glow and beauty she felt on her special day!

Rachel, you are sooooooo gorgeous!

I love long veils! They make the most beautiful photos <3

This one! Ughhhh Rach, you are so so pretty!

Absolutely stunning.

The evening ended with the most beautiful sunset. All of the trees and open fields are something that I miss about living in CT because you definitely don’t see those in the city! lol

Rachel, you are an amazing woman. I am so happy to see you working in your career and helping kids with your Master’s degree you worked so hard for! Thank you for letting me capture you and recreate how beautiful you looked on your wedding day. I still remember how special and beautifully detailed it was. You are an exceptional woman, an amazing wife, and I am so beyond proud of all that you do and have accomplished. I love you!

Much Joy,
