Joe + Rebekah | Part I

filed in:

The slow season is the WORST for us creative ones.  After a month with no wedding, no engagement session, no NOTHING, I was dying to shoot someone! (Sounds awful, but really, it’s what I love to do) So when Rebekah contacted me about a month ago to shoot her wedding last minute, I was beyond thrilled!  I met Rebekah 4 years ago.  Our church was having a mission trip to the Bahamas. Please, don’t judge.  It IS actually possible to have a mission trip and serve Jesus in the Bahamas. Promise.  Anyway, we spent a week together, living on a 60ft sailboat and loving on bohemian kids.  It was paradise. Literally.  When I found out Rebekah was engaged ,the  first thing I thought was, “Oh, what a lucky man!”.  Rebekah is incredible.  She is such a strong, beautiful woman with a deep heart. It was such an honor to shoot her wedding and to meet Joe, her handsome husband!

The florist was still working on the flower arrangements when I got there. They turned out beautifully!

Rebekah wore Joe’s mom’s dress! Way to be bold and vintage and creative!

Rebekah, really? You are gorgeous! Absolutely gorgeous.

Super fun girls!LOVE these! So classy!

Oooh you just have to check back in and see their portraits!!! If you love these, share them on Facebook with all of your friends!

Thanks for reading!
