Rachel + Joe Wedding!

It's been way too long since I updated my blog!  Really need to keep up on it!  So far this month I've photographed 3 weddings.  The first was Rachel and Joe, so this post is all about them.  They're a very sweet couple, and Rachel is the sister of a guy in one the bands I photograph.  Sadly, I was a touch sick and felt bad because I kept running out to my car for throat spray and DayQuil!  Despite that, we still got some great photos and I can't wait to show them off.

I can't help it, I'm a sucker for rose petals and theirs photographed beautifully.  I also love the little favors with the kisses in them!  Super cute.

Rachel didn't want getting ready shots (that seems to be a theme this month!) but I did get a chance to snap a picture of her mom helping her finish up just as the guests arrived.

First dance and cake.  I love this dance photo, the love and joy is so obvious.

Joe, Rachel, and their family.  So cute!  We had to shoot group photos quickly because it was getting darker by the minute.  This is by far my favorite.

They wanted to make sure I got photos of their cool shoes, rings and even cooler tattoos - on their ring fingers, of each others' initials.  Very romantic and I fully support this idea.  (Is my boyfriend reading this?  He should take note.)  Somehow this was my first wedding of the year, but not the last!  Stay tuned for more photos from more weddings.
