This past weekend I celebrated with the most amazing of couples for my final wedding of the year (where has 2017 gone?!)! We’ve been looking forward to this one for quite some time, and it was even more lovely than I could have imagined because Rachel & Dustin are just so completely in love! More from their day soon, but for now, I am thrilled to share her bridal portrait session after much anticipation!

I first met Rachel when she was working as a planner for Greg Boulus Events and Charleston Street Fine Flowers – the amazing team behind her florals, planning, & design. Always having her behind the scenes on wedding days working together is such fun… so when she was officially engaged and reached out about her big day, I couldn’t have been more honored to capture it. It was her turn to be the bride!

Rachel is beautiful inside and out, and full of so much joy. She truly looked like a real life princess in her gorgeous Anne Barge gown from House of the Bride! I absolutely love the full skirt, off the shoulder straps, and simple buttons down the back of the dress. And extra fun fact… it has POCKETS. So basically, best addition to a dress, ever.

Plus, the weather went from totally normal to whipping winds within minutes during her engagement session, and she braved it with true Southern class & ease! Here is a tiny peek at the beauty of her North Augusta, SC bridal portrait session. I am so excited to share these and can’t wait to showcase all the images from their wedding day soon!
