Intimate Furman Rose Garden Wedding – Rachel and Josh

by | Nov 9, 2017 | Wedding

Rachel and Josh’s Furman Rose Garden wedding is one that I will always remember. I can honestly say it was the perfect day. When I say it was perfect I mean it was one of those days that reminds me why I have the best job in the world. First, start with the gorgeous setting of the Rose Garden at Furman University. I don’t know what it is about that spot, but at golden hour I really don’t think there is a better spot in Greenville. It has this magical mojo to it and man did it bring it on this day. It was the one of the first days we have had this season that really felt like fall. And I could go on all day how awesome this couple is. You could see it in their eyes how happy they were to be where they were. And as crazy as this may sound they were in the moment. Enjoying every aspect of it and truly embracing how special of a moment it is.  Now I know to those of you that don’t attend weddings every weekend that may sound crazy but that is the best way I can describe it. You could feel that in this moment nothing else in the world mattered but these two coming together as one. It really was a special in a way that words really can’t do it justice but I digress. Look at the expressions in the photos and you will totally see what I mean. After this amazing ceremony we strolled around the Furman campus having a blast with these two at sunset and then we were off to The Lazy Goat in downtown Greenville,SC where the couple was met by their friends and family for an amazing celebratory dinner.

I can’t thank Rachel and Josh enough for letting us witness and capture this amazing day. Please enjoy some of my favorite moments!
