Awbury Arboretum \ Rachel + Alyssa

I am super excited to share Rachel and Alyssa’s wedding at Awbury Arboretum. I had a fabulous time shooting them on the beautiful grounds at Awbury. Rachel and Alyssa have such an amazing connection, they really do complete each other. My feeling after shooting their engagement session, is that they make each other stronger, better. We were asked not to photograph the more intimate parts of the ceremony, which was honestly very hard for me to sit back, but kind of cool that I too could be fully present. Alyssa’s grandfather almost had me in tears during the ketubah signing, there was such love in his heart. The food was amazing, the dj played some really cool cover band music. Natalie Diener brought everything together seamlessly. Congratulations Rachel and Alyssa, thank you for having us be a part of your day!!
