HI, I'M RACHEL!
welcome!

I’m super excited to share Tracee and Paul’s romantic Shadow Creek wedding with you today! I know I always say I’m excited to share photos with you guys – but I really am! Always. Tracee and Paul put together a beautiful day full of faith, love, and family – quite the trifecta! Not to mention the romantic, rustic decor in their stunning outdoors-focused venue!
When I met Tracee and Paul earlier this year and they shared their romantic Shadow Creek wedding day vision with me, I just knew they would execute it beautifully! They were so excited about everything they had in mind already! They brought such romance to the classic burlap and lace theme, and their vendor team pulled together everything so perfectly. The delicate lace, lavender and peach florals, and subtle greenery stood out against the white backdrop of Shadow Creek and my little light and bright photography heart was in heaven!
I’ll stop gushing about Tracee and Paul’s decor and move on to gushing about the feel of their entire day. The partly cloudy blue skies we all enjoyed earlier in the day gave way to a thunderstorm right as it was time for the ceremony, and everyone just rolled with it. I for one was totally OK with the sweet summer breeze swirling around us as the rain feel outside the covered patio during Tracee and Paul’s ceremony, which I think just added an extra layer of romance to their day!
Tracee and Paul’s romantic Shadow Creek wedding day was surrounded and supported by their friends and family who had so many wonderful things to say about each of them. The toasts were all tear jerkers! It was sweet to hear how excited each family was to welcome the other into their lives.
One of my favorite parts of the day was the impromptu rose petal exit at the end of the night! Tracee and Paul’s guests lined the walkway and showered them in delicate peach rose petals to wish them the best!
Congratulations and best wishes to the newlyweds! Enjoy your honeymoon!
Thanks to all the vendors who made Tracee and Paul’s day so beautiful!
