Rachel + Stephen || Wedding :: Kansas City
Rachel and Stephen are two absolutely lovely individuals. That's the honest truth, but now that I write the words, "individual" seems like the wrong word. Rachel and Stephen are part of a larger community of some of the nicest and most genuine people around. It's often said that the people with whom we surround ourselves speaks a great deal of truth to who we are as "individuals", and I believe that rings true for this couple. We witnessed so much joy on their wedding day... and it wasn't the typical happiness that naturally coincides with a wedding... it was deeper. It's hard to explain, but we feel honored to have been able to take part in their momentous day, and blessed to have witnessed the love that this bride and groom have for each other, as well as those closest to them.
