Saturday was such a beautiful day for Rachel and Taylor!  First, the ladies had their hair and makeup done in downtown Greenville at Cotton Rouge and Company.  Then we spent the rest of their day at Belleview Meadows a beautiful barn venue in Fountain Inn, SC.  The barn is tucked away in the rolling hills of a 57 acre farm.

Their first look was the sweetest thing.  Rachel only thought she got her emotions out earlier in the day!!  There’s something extremely special about seeing each other and getting to talk and hug in a quiet, intimate setting.  After their first look we were able to do all of their wedding party and family portraits before the ceremony!  This really allowed everyone to relax once it was time for the ceremony and reception.

Rachel and Taylor are truly an amazing pair.  The thing that stood out to me on their wedding day was their connection with others.  I can tell they value their relationships.  It was amazing to see family, life-long friends and so many people from different stages of their lives come together to celebrate.

I was away from the dance floor talking with Lisa about the sparkler exit when the song “The Twist” turned on.  I saw Rachel’s parents drop what they were doing, Will took Tammy by the hand and they made a bee-line for the dance floor.
