Eric + Rachel are high school sweethearts turned husband and wife. It started out as a slow dance during Rachel’s Jr High Valentine’s Day Dance…and grew into a lifelong love. Throughout the process of working with Rachel, (when I’d ask if she was excited about the wedding) she’d always respond that she was most excited about marrying Eric. <3
Over the years, they’ve grown as a couple and enjoy spending their time indulging at nice restaurants, hanging with friends and family, and traveling.
Their wedding was elegant, classy, and whimsically vintage. They chose venues that were special to them and filled them with love and details that were a reflection of who they are. Every detail was personal.
They love to celebrate and sure know how to have fun…so I thoroughly enjoyed documenting everyone having a blast with them! Rachel + Eric say their favorite memories were during the ceremony and just being surrounded by so many people they love. They were “overwhelmed” in a positive way and I know they will always cherish this special day.
Congratulations to the Gillespies! <3
