I am so blessed to be able to photograph weddings.  It’s always such a sweet and special occasion, reminding me of the day I married my own husband–taking me back to the feelings, emotions and excitement of it all.  I had an especially wonderful day with Rachel, AJ and their families.
Rachel and I went to the same college.  (Though I went years before!)  We both roomed with some of our best friends are are STILL best friends with these sweet girls!  I love that her three BFF’s, all now living in different states, were able to come to her wedding.  They were all so cute laughing and talking with each other.  The girl’s were ooing and ahing over Rachel’s beauty–as was I.  This girl is seriously drop dead gorgeous!  All day long my friend and second shooter also kept commenting at how beautiful she is.  It’s no secret.
It’s interesting as well that AJ and my husband went to the same college as each too!  BYU is a hard school to get in to, and AJ has been accepted to the School of Business, which is also a very difficult thing to do.  I’m impressed.  These two will move back to Utah and finish school together…oh the good ol’ days of being dirt poor, starving college students.  There ARE some positives to that though too, don’t you think?
I’m certain Rachel and AJ will be incredibly happy together.  It was demonstrated on their wedding day and during their bridal photo session.  Rachel told me that AJ is naturally very sweet and tender.  Those are two words that I had on my “checklist” for my future husband.  I witnessed that in AJ.  He is that way, but so is Rachel.  A very sweet, loving and caring couple.  I’m convinced that together they will do many, wonderful things in their lives!  I love these two!
