Rachel & Drew
Rachel and Drew not only love one another deeply, they have a love for others and caring for others. They both went to USM and obtained a Bachelors in Nursing, as you can imagine they are BIG USM fans!! Their shared interests and love also extend to cooking together, grabbing some grub at Newk’s or their favorite spot in Hattiesburg! Oh, and lets not forget loving on and hanging out with their Australian shepherd, Koda. (: They have quite the engagement story that truly shows how much time and thought goes into their love for one another, to check it out click HERE!
Wedding Day
The day started out with the boys at Bridlewood getting ready while the girls were already at the Chapel, being pampered and enjoying quality time with Rachel. Their ceremony was held at The Chapel at Livingston with Reception to follow at Bridlewood of Madison. They had a violinist that played as Rachel entered the Chapel, it was absolutely gorgeous, as was she! (: The decor and florals were simple yet perfect for this elegant fall wedding.
These blush velvet heels Rachel wore were absolutely stunning!
A’ll of these gorgeous floral details were done by Bethany Sigrest with OAK: A Southern Experience, aren’t they perfect?!
All of the girls in their matching getting ready outfits always make for a great memory to capture!!
These elegant details are seriously what makes it so easy to photograph!
First looks are so so so exciting and make the day go so smoothly!! Keep scrolling to see Rachel and Drew’s first look!!
These two have such great chemistry and made it so easy for me to do my job!
Rachel was a stunning bride! I would say Drew thinks so too (;
These are seriously some of my favorite color combinations! Bold and earthy all at the same time!
These guys were fun and great sports about all of the pictures!
Mr. and Mrs. Drew Edwards!!
