Rachel and Russel’s story started back in high school. While I didn’t know Russel then, I did photograph some of Rachel’s senior portraits - not realizing I’d one day be documenting her as a bride! Since then, I’ve also photographed her sister Stephanie’s wedding, and now Rachel + Russel’s, with their (adorably teary) dad officiating both ceremonies.
Their wedding day at Dockside at Duke’s, on the edge of South Lake Union, was rooted in connection and family from the very start. Their moms walked in together, Stephanie’s boys took on the roles of “ring security” and “petal patrol,” and guests laughed and cried through vows that were years in the making.
Walking alongside Rachel and her family through so many milestones has been the sweetest reminder of why I absolutely love what I do. (Swipe for a little throwback…🤍🤍🤍)
