Rachel & Gabriel
Photos
Enjoy photographs from Gabriel's proposal and our engagement shoot with photographer Christina Hastings!
Gabriel lured Rachel in with a fake camera test on the front porch of her parent's house, the same porch where he first asked her out on a date.
Gabriel presented Rachel with a video compilation of their memories from the last 3 years...
The moment Rachel realized what was about to happen...
"Will you continue the adventure with me?"
"Yes, I will!"
Unparalleled joy!
The ring fit perfectly!
Worth the wait...
All the happy tears!
Happily ever after!
Our photographer, Christina, said Rachel's ring is one of the most unique rings she has ever seen!
Rose gold metal with a pink morganite center stone and diamond halo. The bevel set oval gives it a vintage feel that Rachel fell in love with instantly.
Christina Hastings did an amazing job taking our photos! She made us feel comfortable, glamorous, and we had a ton of fun!
The mixture of B&W and color photos we got from her are all beautiful and artistically framed.
Christina is a true professional in every way and we are beyond excited to have her booked for the wedding as well!
"Completely and perfectly and incandescently happy."
"My heart is so full of you I can hardly call it my own."
"The way he talked of their dreams made her want to grab his hand and run into tomorrow."
"I just wanted to let you know that when I picture myself happy, it's with you."
"Your heart and my heart are very, very old friends."
"Marry me, my wonderful darling friend."
Gabriel certainly swept Rachel off her feet!
"Anyone can be passionate, it takes real lovers to be silly."
"And you'll always love me, won't you?"
"Yes."
"And the rain won't make any difference?"
"No."
"Happiness often sneaks in a door you did not think was open."
"I have late-night conversations with the moon, he tells me about the sun and I tell him about you."
"Love is someone showing you the beauty in things you've never noticed before. Things in yourself mostly."
"They slipped briskly into an intimacy from which they never recovered."
"I'd like to laugh with you for the rest of my life."
"I saw the dreamer in her had fallen in love with me and she did not know it. That moment the dreamer in me fell in love with her, and I knew it."
"Together at last, together forever!"
"We're tying a knot they never can sever!"
"I don't need sunshine now to turn my skies to blue. I don't need anything but you!"
These ducks followed us around almost the entire shoot!
"As soon as I saw you, I knew an adventure was going to happen."
"A look in somebody's eyes
To light up the skies
To open the world and send it reeling
A voice that says, I'll be here
And you'll be alright"
"I love you more today than yesterday and I'll love you more tomorrow than today."
"You have one of those rare smiles that feels like a day of warm sun in winter."
"There is nothing sweeter in this sad world than the sound of someone you love calling your name."
"Love someone who is kinder to you than you are to yourself."
"You deserve somebody who inspires you toward greater things while loving you exactly as you are."
"True love makes you more of who you are, not less."
"A proper hug is like an emotional Heimlich. Someone puts their arms around you and squeezes you and your fear and anxiety come shooting out of your mouth in a big wet wad and you can breathe again!"
"How wonderful it is that we laugh because our bodies cannot contain the joy!"
These two love birds waddled straight out of the water to join us for some photos!
"You are the love that came without warning; you had my heart before I could say no."
"There is no pretending, I love you, and I will love you until I die, and if there is life after that, I'll love you then."
"Wise men say only fools rush in but I can't help falling in love with you."
"Your arms feel more like home than any house ever did."
"O teach me how I should forget to think."
"You're the kind of soul anyone would be lucky to be with and you don't even know it. The great ones never do."
"How blessed it truly is, to stumble upon a soul that wants nothing but smiles and sunshine for you, for the rest of your life."
For all the days along the way
