Rachel & DJ: Married!! | The Heights Baptist Church, Richardson Wedding

We have been so excited for Rachel & DJ’s wedding!  They are one of the sweetest, most laid-back and down right FUN couples we have worked with this year!  Also, I’m totally a sucker for their sweet story.  These two were friends in high school and that’s all.  Just friends.  Yada, yada, yada and of course, you already know how the story ends (happily ever after, duh!).  LOL!  Bonus points to those who got my Seinfeld reference. 😉  Anyway, I love that Rachel & DJ were friends in high school and one day they realized they were actually more and now they are married.  I can’t think of a better way for a love story to begin than with friendship. Can you?!

rachdjWED_photogfavs_060P I N this to pinterest One of my favorite parts of the night is always a couple’s private last dance.  That quite moment before they make their getaway to start their life together, when they are all alone in the empty reception room and they begin to realize that it’s really real.  Married at last.rachdjWED_photogfavs_061P I N this to pinterest

rachdjWED_photogfavs_064P I N this to pinterest One of the neatest parts of working with this couple is that they brought an important party of their love story and incorporated it into their engagement session AND the wedding.  DJ’s car from high school, the same car they spent countless hours hanging out in as friends, is what they used to make their get away as newlyweds.  I seriously have a lump in my throat just thinking about how amazingly AWESOME that is!!!  I just love that tangible link from their past is how they sped off into their future.  SIGH.  I’m such a sap and that’s what I love most about getting to know our couples.
