I feel like I should pinch myself! Looking back over the last two years, my blog has been full of our friend’s weddings!! First of all, it’s amazing to see all of these amazing couples starting their lives together and secondly, I’m just honored that I have been able to be a part of them!! It’s an awesome feeling to be able to serve my friends in this way and I’m so thankful I was able to be a part of Garrett and Rachel’s wedding day! This wedding day was so incredible to watch because I remember sitting on the couches at our campus bakery shop talking with Rachel about when this day would come. She was only a freshman and she had really only seen Garrett from a distance… but she liked him.
She liked that he was a leader, she liked that he loved the Lord and she was drawn to him from that very first semester. I remember our conversations about our future marriages and what they would look like. On Sunday, it was just crazy to realize that THAT DAY was happening!! Garrett and Rachel entered their ceremony as two people in love and left as ONE amazing team that is going to do incredible things for the Lord. I seriously can’t wait to watch their story unfold and it was such an honor to serve alongside of them on their wedding day.
It may have been a bit chilly and the sun may have only made an appearance for 25 seconds but their day was warm and happy and joyful. Garrett and Rachel, you know I love you both. Michael and I are SO excited to welcome you into the old married people’s club… it’s the best club around! We can’t wait to watch you grow closer together and begin this new journey! Enjoy your honeymoon!!!! xoxoxo

Kelly is an incredible wedding photographer who has been shooting 90 weddings a year. I know, it sounds unbelievable, but it’s true! Kelly’s success and the volume of work she handles is truly impressive.
