Rachel looked beautiful as her mom and sister laced up her gown.
I asked them both to share their "story". Rachel's is first in her own words:
"Dalton and I met in college at Arkansas Tech University. We were both working on a Fisheries and Wildlife degree and had been in a few classes together when I first started to notice him. He was a different kind of guy with a fun personality . We started visiting more during our class labs. The next semester we were put in a discussion group together for one of our classes. We started getting to know each other a bit, and around the end of semester he asked me out. I could tell something was different by the way he had been acting that evening. I remember he used the words, "would you consider." Looking at him I realized this was something he had thought a good deal about. I was a bit surprised, but very happy. It felt comfortable and I had actually already considered the idea. So, I said yes. We dated for about 2 years and he proposed on a hiking trip on April 11th 2014."
Dalton also shared his version:
"So after semi-stalking Rachel for a few months (studying the girl in her natural habitat in a non-intrusive and only a little creepy manner), we began our adventures together. In worlds physical, digital, and imaginary we quested after happiness and zest in life amidst the doldrums of a collegiate existence focused on more mundane affairs. After spending 2000 (metaphorical) years breaking free from that dreaded campus with Rachel at my side, I realized that I could have no truer friend and that she was the only one for me to spend the rest of my mortal days beside.
I LIKED HER SO MUCH I MARRIED HER"
I stole Dalton and Rachel at sunset for a few shots. The first one cracks me up. This is their "rocker" pose!
Dalton and Rachel-- thank you so much for allowing me to photograph your Big Day! I was honored to be there for this moment in your lives.
