The Bradford Wedding | Rachel + Andrew | September 8, 2018
Can you imagine planning a wedding in less than a year, from STATES AWAY? Rachel and Andrew were amazing, planning their wedding all the way from Texas to their home state of North Carolina.
They credit their families and amazing planning team for pulling off such a beautiful wedding from states away, but seriously they are an incredible couple!
We were only able to meet Andrew and Rachel once in person throughout their engagement, and we immediately knew they were special. So kind, considerate, and so trusting in all their wedding vendors!
When we arrived that morning, the bridal suite was buzzing with activity! Rachel’s bridesmaids were friends and family, and each girl was so sweet and fun!
The whole day had a threat of rain, but Andrew and Rachel had dreamed of an outdoor wedding and reception, so we were all waiting until the very last minute to make any rain plan changes!
Thankfully we had a GORGEOUS day, and were able to have the ceremony, reception, and ALL the photos outdoors! What a blessing!
The reception was beautiful, with head farm tables and beautiful floral arrangements on all the tables and tall white candles flickering softly as the sun set. Rachel and Andrew used family china on each table setting, and it was so personal and unique!
Family and friends gave toasts under the stars, and everyone basked in the lights, the sounds, and the delicious food before the reception cranked up with dancing!
They had a sparkler exit through the front doors of the Bradford, and it was a perfect way to cap off a fantastic day!
We are SO THANKFUL that Rachel and Andrew trusted us sight-unseen from Texas to capture their stunning day. We hope you’ll enjoy seeing our favorite images below!!!
