RACHEL & JUSTIN | GRACE MARALYN ESTATE WEDDING

Rachel and Justin’s Grace Maralyn Estate wedding had so many epic moments. Our day with them started with the gorgeous Bride and her Daddy Daughter first look. His reaction was literally “wow” and we all agreed. Rachel is a stunning Bride! Her brother’s reaction was so sweet, he literally couldn’t stop himself from breaking down in tears.

The couple chose to have a first touch rather than a first look. They stood back to back and read vows to each other. Let’s just say Justin needs to hold a class for vow writing… we were all in tears! One of the many unique things about their day was during their ceremony. All of their immediate family members got up during the ceremony, circled the couple and prayed for them. It was beautiful.

The uniqueness and surprised didn’t stop there. During the Father Daughter dance the music suddenly stopped, my heart dropped for them and the poor DJ who messed up… but when the music changed and the two broke into an insane choreographed dance I couldn’t stop taking pictures. Rachel’s Dad is my new hero and he has some seriously epic moves! One last surprise of the evening, as the Bride was still sitting in a chair after the garter toss, literally half of the guests broke into a flash mob. The Bride was shocked, a little confused and clearly thrilled! But my favorite part of the day as a photographer was their sunset photos. We got so lucky and the hill above the venue was covered in tall, light wheat like grass. It was gorgeous and Justin had clearly practiced posing because my goodness their sunset photos were so romantic! Thank you again to the Mr. and Mrs. and their families for letting us be a part of their special day!
