Rachel + I met originally in 2009, we were both in a very different place in our life then- mentally…physically, I think it’s safe to say both of us were sort of existing rather than living at that time in our life. If there’s one thing I can tell you about the Rachel I know now, versus the Rachel I knew years ago, she is 100% living life. Many things have changed for her since that time, but what made Rachel come alive the most, was Ryan. I’m not sure I’ve seen a couple so connected. These two love SO deeply. I know I say often that I witness something profound, but somehow, so many of our couple seem to share something that is truly unique. Rachel + Ryan have a unique love and it is truly perfect for them. Rachel + Ryan came all the way from California for their engagement session in Jacksonville Beach just weeks after Hurricane Matthew came through. I had an amazing time photographing their session and I cannot wait to see the images that come from their wedding!
