Rachel & Steven's Wedding

This has been one wild and crazy week to say the least. We had three weddings and a rehearsal dinner within in six days. Needless to say we're playing catch up at the moment, hence the lack of recent blogging. Not to mention we are revamping our gallery, updating our prices and products and booking new couples left and right. It sounds like a lot of work, and it is, but we are really excited about everything that's going on. We can't wait to blog about all the weddings and new stuff we're offering. We'll start with Rachel and Steven's wedding.

These two were made for each other and you can see it in everything they do. They are such a fun, caring and genuine couple and we really enjoyed getting to know them. They also happen to be picture fanatics (which we love!) and quite the daredevils. You'll see what we mean in some of the images.








Can you believe Rachel actually hand-made her beautiful lace veil? Quite the crafty craftswoman!


Rachel and her mom shared prayers and tears right before the ceremony. Very touching.


The clock on the wall says it marryin' time!








Steven is a very passionate man, not only when it comes to his beliefs but in all aspects. This was only one of perhaps five or six uncoerced dips throughout the day. Needless to say he is a master at it.












Steven's mom made her famous cheesecake for the wedding cake and we got to sample a piece. It was so delicious we had thoughts of running out the door with whatever was left ;)


As we said, Rachel and Steven are picture fanatics and they were up for more after the reception. Of course we were happy to oblige so we headed downtown for some coffee and exploring.




















Remember how we said they were quite the daredevils? Here's the proof. They leaped from rock to rock over Reedy River to get to this uber-cool tree. That may not sound very adventurous but imagine doing it with 10 pounds of wedding dress swishing around you!





After we were done frolicking in the park, we headed back to their awesome hotel, The Greenville Marriott. That place is so cool we could do a whole shoot just in the lobby.




This red wall instantly called to us.





Rachel & Steven,

Congratulations again on your marriage and graduating from BJU. Thank you so much for giving us the time to be creative and capture the immense love you two so obviously share. We hope you are having a great time out west and wish you a safe move up to Illinois.

Wow!!! What a great day that was! Mom and I loved every minute of the day and these pictures bring us right back to that glorious time. You sought to honor the Lord and your parents and your family and you did all that. Nothing could have been better, not even the kiss.
All our love, Dad and Mom Schroeder
