Best friends. That’s what they were before they ever started dating. It was one of those friendships that made the people closest to them wonder if there was perhaps something more underneath, but it took them a few years to see it themselves. But when they did something wonderful happened, and two people who are better off together finally saw what they’d unintentionally been building upon for the past three and a half years. They became friends by chance, confidants by choice, and lifelong companions by fate. Destiny, if you wish. Whatever you call it, they belong together.
Grant & Rachel, your joy is absolutely contagious, and I’m SO grateful to have been the one to capture it all! Thank you so much for your implicit trust, and hearing “you just made all my dreams come true!” was the biggest, best cherry on top of the most perfect day! Enjoy Bora Bora & New Zealand- I hope this is the getaway of a lifetime!

I HAVE to interrupt to point out the flash mob because of how hilarious it turned out- Cake By The Ocean began to play as soon as Grant & Rachel cut their cake, and a lone dancer turned into two, and then it quickly multiplied from there. SO GOOD!
