Rachel & Paul ~ A Chatham Wedding
You might remember Rachel and Paul from our e-session with them back in April. Click HERE to see photos and read more about them.
Last weekend, Paul & Rachel said, “I do,” surrounded by family & friends at the uber chic Wequassett Resort. Their ceremony was held poolside, with the reception following at the Outer Bar & Grille. Here are some of our favorite moments from their fabulous celebration:
Check out these gorgeous Navy patent leather & mother of pearl Giuseppe Zanotti shoes. Gorgeous!

Paul’s cousin’s daughter, Kaitlyn, looks on as Rachel gets ready to step into her dress.

I love how elegant Rachel looks in this next one, as her sister, Jessica (right) and Paul’s sister, Adrienne (left), help out.

Kaitlyn’s sister and fellow flower girl, Chloe, timidly peeks out from behind her mom. Love the eyes!!

Paul & his brother, Michael, get ready…

Paul works in production, so he was paying close attention to all of the last minute details the morning of the wedding…I love this perspective and he passes out boutonnieres to his groomsmen.

Wequassett’s pool….what a backdrop, eh?

Rachel’s sister, Amy, welcomes guests. Check out the programs….they had a Sudoko puzzle on the back…love it!

Rachel arrives, looking ready to see her hubby-to-be.

And, Paul, looks equally as happy to see his wife-to-be.

Rachel’s nephew and ring bearer, James, cuddles in with mom while he watches the ceremony. Sooo sweet!

I love this series as Rachel & Paul exchange their first kiss as husband & wife…

Taking a break from the excitement, we took our happy couple down to the dock for a little alone time…

Awww….


Love those dimples!

We really liked how they handled their cocktail hour. Rather than being introduced at the reception, Rachel & Paul, along with their bridal party & parents, were introduced at the end of the cocktail hour. I love this shot of Rachel looking back to see whose coming down next…

Paul’s dad also said a few words to guests around the pool. Here Rachel & Paul react…so cute.

Also during cocktail hour, Rachel & Paul dedicated a song to Rachel’s dad, who tragically passed away in October, the weekend they got engaged. They asked everyone to join them in a dance. And, as soon as the music started and folks started swaying, the dark overcast sky opened up and beams of sunlight shone down. I admit, I lost it, believing with all my heart, that this was a sign from Rachel’s dad that he was there, giving his blessing to the day. It was beautiful! Here, our happy couple reacts to the sun and all the love around them… Oh, love….what a beautiful thing, indeed!

Some details…

Rachel gets an embrace from Kaitlyn. So sweet…

I love Rachel’s expression in this next one….the happiness is just contagious!

And, this could be my favorite shot of the day! Love love love it!

Wequassett at night! Delightful!

Thank you Rachel & Paul for inviting us to share in this special time with you. It’s not often we see childhood romance lead to a storybook wedding. We had such fun with you and feel so honored to have been a part of such an incredible day. I will never forget your dedication dance and the parting clouds. Everything about your day was just perfect and so special! We hope these photos serve as happy reminders. With big love & hugs, Christine & Andy xoxo
