When Rebecca showed up wearing this Lulus sequin gold dress I nearly had a heart attack. How stunning does she look!? Rebecca and Christian were in town on a little vacation up from South Carolina. She is a wedding photographer herself, and as such, this couple treats themselves to anniversary photos once a year! I was honored to be able to capture this session for them!

Would you believe that this couple found me 2 weeks before their wedding day! Alex & Rafa are high school sweethearts and have been waiting years to become husband and wife. Honestly, their wedding was all about love, family and celebrating their relationship. Alex cared more about spending time with Rafa and her family then any details about the wedding day itself!
