“Some pursue happiness others create it”
( a sign in Mike’s garage)
Rachel and Mike are a truly beautiful couple, their wedding encapsulated what a wedding is REALLY all about.
A small backyard ceremony with 30 family members and a reception for them and another 30 friends, nothing fancy, nothing flash, no stretch hummer, no cathedral service but it was as beautiful and moving a wedding as I’ve had the privilege of capturing all because of their love.
Rachel and Mike met on an online dating site 3 1/2 years ago. Rachel had been on the site only 2 weeks when she met Mike, her first date. It was obvious early on that they were meant to be, 4 months after meeting they purchased a house together in which they have lived together since early 2007. This house was also where they chose to get married. To understand why they chose to get married there you only have to sit in a chair in the living area and look around. Its an expression of that love and a sacred space, beautifully framed photos of themselves together along with other affirmations of their love and commitment anoint various walls and sidebars serving as a testament to them and their life together.
Thanks for asking me to share your wedding and capture it, it was an absolute joy.
