Rachel & Lincoln's Wedding

July has been a great month so far, and I can't believe that it's almost over.  Summer is flying by!  I'm sure time has flown by for Rachel and Lincoln since they got married on July 9th.  Time flies when you're having fun (aka - a happy newlywed!).  This couple shared a deep connection, and it was evident how much they cared for one another.  Thankfully the usual summer thunderstorms held off - the last thing you need with 90+ degree weather is the extra humidity of a summer thunderstorm.  It was a beautiful day, and Rachel and Lincoln had a lot of family and friends to help celebrate with them!

Cowboy boots for the bridesmaids (and the bride too, she ended up wearing cowboy boots as well).

Details of the dress -  One of the most exciting moments when shooting a wedding for me is the unveiling of the dress.  I loved Rachel's dress, and it definitely fit her personality.  And the veil is what it pulls it all together.

I did a few bridal shots of Rachel before the ceremony, and one of my favorites is this carefree smile and movement.

Rachel had great expressions throughout the entire day, and I love how happy she looks in this picture!

It's official, Mr. and Mrs. Lawing!

The reception was held at Cramer Mountain Country Club.  Very beautiful!

Stunning flowers and beautiful bright green colors at the reception.

First dance

The band at the reception was awesome!  I wanted to get out there and dance, but I had a job to do : )  It was the Chris Lane Band.

And a sweet bubble exit to end a wonderful night!
