One of my absolute favorite weddings. I had such an amazing time shooting and working with this awesome couple and their friends and family!! Rachel is a photographer herself in Oklahoma City. Whenever another photographer contacts you about photographing them, your heart always races a bit. ;) From the first time I met her and Jon at their engagement session, there was no doubt in my mind that I was going to love this couple. They have been so much fun to work with from the very beginning. They are so easy going and just some of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. OH and they’ve also been a couple since the 5th grade (I THINK it was 5th grade– correct me if I’m wrong Rachel!!).. they are ridiculously cute… and when I shot their wedding early last month– I discovered that so are their families!!

So in early June my mom, BOTH Bear and Beau and myself loaded up and drove to Panama City Beach, Florida. Rachel and Jon were married on the beach (Inlet Beach) and the reception took place at the CUTEST little beach house right across the street. Everything about this wedding was perfection. I’m having withdrawals just looking through these pictures again.

Rachel and Jon– congratulations again and thank you so much for having me such a big part of your amazing wedding and making me feel like one of the family! ;)

SO many favorites they couldn’t fit in 1 post….. so check out PART 2 when your done here!!!
