Wedding Story: Rachel and Ryan

The first thing that comes to mind when I think of Rachel and Ryan's wedding is how stinkin' EXCITED these two were to marry each other.  Rachel would just squeal with delight over all of it.  These two were in the moment and wore their hearts on their sleeves.  I LOVE that.  I love it when people show love without inhibition.  The day was full of celebration from beginning to end, with both the ceremony and reception happening at the always gorgeous Cotton Room in Durham.  We get to shoot there a lot and always love the weddings we experience there.  Rachel loved her venue and it's history so much that she pulled cotton in to her details - including the boutonnieres and in her hair piece.  Love thoughtful touches like that.
