Rachel & Matt | Wedding

    |    Posted by Becca on August 9th, 2011    |    wedding life

Matt didn’t tell me this (he’s a humble guy) but I learned it from his best man’s toast- that he was a 4 time State Championship hockey player.  So it might seem funny that one of the words that comes to mind most when I think about these two is sweetness.  They are both kind, humble, sincere people.  Over the year that I have had the chance to be in their lives, I have become a really big fan of who they are and feel like they are friends more than clients.

I have been excited to share this wedding because Rachel and Matt really made it easy for me to do what I hope to do- which is really, to capture something more important than how beautiful it all was- something longer lasting than that.  There is a transparency and presence to them both that really touched me throughout the day.  I am thankful that I got to be there with you two and I love ya!

Matt surprised Rachel with a pink diamond ring that they had seen together on vacation.  She would have never expected it.

One of my favorite elements of the story of the day was the bond between Rachel and her dad.

Becca. I completely agree with what you wrote. I just thought Rachel and Matt were the sweetest, and are so so very kind. I too felt the emotion of the day. I choked up multiple times throughout the day, particularly watching Rachel and her dad’s relationship. So proud to have helped capture their day.

You two are awesome. Jewel, I’m continually amazed at the photos you make and love that you and Becca mesh so well together in capturing a day like this. Becca, truly beautiful images here. Your moments of the relationships between people and then your stunning portraits – incredible. Thanks for sharing them with us!
