in honor of the 4th of July coming up this week, i figured it was time to post this All-American shoot we did last month.
Rachael Affleck, my dear friend, has started her own wedding planning business (Rachael Ellen Events) and helped make our wedding day as perfect as it was.
she set EVERYTHING up at the reception, coordinated everything so professionally and made sure everything went smoothly.
i showed up to my reception right as pictures started an hour before the reception started and everything was already set up and absolutely perfect! i almost cried real tears of joy.
she will forever be one of my heroes.
last month, she asked if Will and i would be the May Bride & Groom for Rachael Ellen Events
because she helped SO much with our wedding, we couldn’t say no!
(well, Will definitely could’ve said no… but..)
i think the “ALL-AMERICAN” theme turned out darling!
fun fact: that dog with us is blind AND deaf.
he is over 100 years old!
another fun fact: this field is RIGHT across the street from our cottage!!
it was perfect timing because NOW this field is complete dirt and some houses are about to be built on the lot.
cute Will was such a trooper and made it fun even though he was completely out of his comfort zone.
he was making everyone laugh so hard and was so patient and supportive of the process.
when hair & makeup artists showed up to our cottage at 8 a.m. to get started on us he looked at me all wide-eyed but didn’t say a word hahahaha.
when they told him to look “GQ” he just busted up laughing.
looks pretty ‘GQ’ to me!!
thank you Rachael for letting us be the May Bride & Groom!
and thank you Will, for being the cutest All-American boy i know 🙂
