Rachael and Dustin are married!

I’m usually photographing the wedding; not a guest.   Here’s my 1st family wedding, where I get to do both.

My niece Rachael found this really cool guy with a good heart . . .  and he’s been part of our family for a long time now before being made official on their wedding day.

I find myself looking through these photos and being moved to bouts of laughter and happiness.   Seeing their connection and how genuinely happy they are being together feels great.

Dustin and Rachael are this great mix of confidence, wit and playful intelligence  . . . so they’re cool (yeah, it’s falling out of their pockets).  They’re also inclusive;  they notice other people and they’re warm and friendly – which makes them really stand out as cool people.   Here’s the photos of their beautiful wedding at Rockwood Conservation area:

(yeah, he’s that secure)
