A moody overcast wedding day never looked so good as it did on Taryn + Zak’s day. Yes, we got caught in the middle of a field during an intense downpour, but name us two people who you’d rather go running through the rain with - we’ll wait.
In all seriousness though we went into this day knowing we’d most likely get pretty emotionally wrecked, and starting with Taryn’s video message to her soon-to-be husband got the tears flowing early. Every moment and detail perfectly reflected a piece of these two and their story together. The intentionality, the focus, and the celebration that characterized this day from beginning to end was 100% Taryn and Zak and we could not have asked for a more amazing day for these two. Don’t mind us, we’ll just be crying and swooning over these two for the rest of the year!
When the opportunity to take a road trip down south to spend the day with two of the funniest, goofiest, and sweetest people you know comes calling, you grab your camera and your bag and you hit the road - even if that means you might be driving into a hurricane.
We’ve known Rachel for nearly ten years now, so when we first heard about this boy “David” that she had met at church we knew something was up! When we finally met this man that we had heard all about we were so excited because it took no time at all while driving around Charleston one fall afternoon with the two of them to see how incredibly happy he made Rachel; the way she just trusted him completely, loved him deeply, and laughed at all his funny faces and dad jokes.
As one might have expected, their day was the perfect reflection of who these two people are as a one: intentional, sweet, and joyous. We are so happy for Rachel and David, and all of their friends and family. The Lord has some big plans for these two, that we are sure of, and we cannot wait to see all of the adventures they are about to embark on together. Here’s to Mr + Mrs Eudy, may you two never lose that infectious, lovable, silliness that we all could use more of in our lives!

There are some weddings that we truly wish would never end, and when we think back to the amazing, colorful, joy-filled weekend that was A+A's we have those exact feelings. By the time we got to their wedding weekend, they were already dear friends of ours—so obviously we got swept up in all the magic, the love, and every single second of celebrating these two.
Coming together with this close-knit community to cheer these two on as they entered into this new season was honestly indescribable. The shared experience, taking part in a moment that transcends all of us there. We've talked about that a lot over the last few years and the reality is that this feeling doesn't fade away in the least bit — it only grows stronger and for that, we are deeply thankful.
Heaven help us, this blog could be pages on pages long about everything that was so wonderful about this weekend. Really, all we can say is how thankful we are for these two beautiful humans. Their wedding weekend was more than an honor to be a part of, and to get to be a part of their story, and to call them friends, is more than we could ever ask for.

Garba night is hands down one of our favorite events during the weekend-long Indian wedding festivities. In many instances, it's the first night where the majority of both families come together and celebrate these amazing couples. The night is often filled with unending laughter, dancing, AND THE COLORS ARE GORGEOUS!
It is without a doubt a night of excitement, parting, and unity. From the rehearsed dance numbers performed by Aparna+Ankit's family and friends, to Aparna's flowing and jaw-dropping dress, and every other breathtaking sari in the room that night — this was one of the standout highlights of their weekend for us.
For over a year we waited to kick off this special and wonderful weekend. From their gorgeous and colorful engagement ceremony to a dreamy evening of engagement photos out on Lake Michigan, we knew A+A’s weekend would be one of the most exciting ones of the entire year for us.
Aparna and Ankit's weekend-long celebration started at their homes with their family and closest friends gathered together for a night of traditions, games, mehndi, and so much more. That night alone was such a whirlwind of excitement, joy, and laughter and it without a doubt set the tone for what would be THE PERFECT weekend.
So much love for these two, and this is just the beginning!
