…Rachel and Bradley….married…

I’ve told you before and I’ll tell you again, if you’ve never been introduced to the smoldering melodies of Mrs. Rachel Brandt then you should remedy that.  She and her Bradley are both amazing musical artists.  After Rachel performed one evening at a local venue, Bradley overheard her gushing about her love for Jackson Browne. He knew he had to know her, and the best way to win her heart…well, that was to be a Jackson Browne fan too.  So he went home and learned an entire Jackson Browne record to play for her .  Needless to say…it worked.  She walked down the isle to a song she wrote for her Bradley.  It gave me chills.

Their wedding day was magical.  Gorgeous light…a cool breeze…and lots of happy hearts.  A stellar combination for  an at home wedding.

The fact that I now call them friends…well it kinda makes me feel like a rockstar.

I can’t get over their invites…so perfect for the marriage of two musicians.

Such an amazing family here!  The kids are full of character and wit…you just know they are going to be superb adults and follow in mom and dad’s footsteps.  Not only is mom a doctor but she finds time to sew her daughter’s cute little outfits! Kuddos to you Christina!  Hope your having the time of your lives in Disney World!!

When I grow up, I want to be as cool as the people in these pics…or as cool as the chick who took them. They are awesome.

…Laura and her Dominic…married…

ser·en·dip·i·ty  [ser-uhn-dip-i-tee]

an aptitude for making desirable discoveries by accident.

So there once was a girl who met a boy.  She thought this boy would be perfect for her best friend.  Her best friend thought she was crazy…until she met him.

The rest is history.  A wee bit serendipitous if you ask me…;)

Overlook Farm had so many places to shoot..I may have been foaming at the mouth a bit…and talking in sentence fragments…

a little family photo before the ceremony.

and yes, such a breathtaking backdrop for a sweet intimate wedding.

we literally ran for a few sunset shots. Can you say Mr. and Mrs. Darcy…?

the reception was perfect…perfect perfect perfect.  From the tables, to the flowers, to the china, to the desserts, to the speeches.  I felt so cute sipping on my coke in a bottle with a cute little straw.

Laura and Dom…you two are precious…and a huge thanks for introducing me to CutCopy…kinda obsessing over them!  XOXO

Things you should know about this wedding:

Carolyn and her Josh…married.

No one wants rain on their wedding day, but when you have hearts as happy as theirs, you can’t help  but be wrapped in sunshine.  We ended up having dry time during portraits…so God was good to us.  It was such a special day.  So much love and adoration in every room we entered.  It was truely a blessing to bare witness to it all.  Thanks to the Shulman’s and Baron’s for being such wonderful hosts on such a special, laughter filled day.

These pictures are fantastic! Looks like a super fun day. And the “ball and chain” pic is priceless.
