Rachel and Tyler's October Wedding

Rachel and Tyler pulled off one of the most beautiful weddings I have ever seen to date! They were announced husband and wife on October 18th, 2015. A huge part of this perfect couple was not only them becoming husband and wife but becoming the cutest little family as well, with Sawyer.

When they came into the Black Canyon Inn for a tour of the venue in early September, I knew they were sold :) But! Little did I know that they wanted to seal the deal by the middle of October! I honestly thought they were kidding. How can a wedding be planned in a month and a half? There is no way, I thought to myself. Rachel and I talked just about every week up until their wedding date, working out all the details. I knew this was going to be one for the books. Rehearsal day was here and family and friends closest to the couple were busy getting everything prepared for the rehearsal dinner in our Sloan's Creek Event Room. Fall leaves were placed on the tables, the fireplace was lit, a projector screen hung to showcase the couples story, and the most perfect, quaint head table labeled Mr. and Mrs. placed in the middle. This gave me just a little taste of how things would go tomorrow morning. There was so much detail that went into the rehearsal dinner! I could only imagine how the wedding would be tomorrow. I sat in on some of the toasts and stories that were told about Rachel and Tyler. They are so loved by so many people and their story is so special and unique. Rachel and Tyler met in January of this year, got engaged, planned a wedding in a month and a half, and now live the happiest life with little Sawyer. "When you know, you just know," a few family members described. So much love for the couple filled that room.

It's wedding day! 8am that morning, not one person was sitting down and relaxing. Every person had a role in this wedding and they were determined to make this perfect for Rachel and Tyler. People were putting together this BEAUTIFUL handmade arbor for the ceremony with flowers and vines wrapped around strategically. In our lawn area, people were setting up old vintage dressers that Rachel had refurbished herself. One dresser was for coffee, tea, and water. The others were for donuts, muffins, and fruit to follow the ceremony. With how religious Rachel and Tyler are, they even set up a table with a bible for people to highlight their favorite verses for the couple to keep in mind throughout their relationship. An old vintage cart sat by the entrance to the pavilion that held programs and blankets for guests as well. 

The ceremony was absolutely gorgeous. Rachel wore an all lace dress with a sweetheart neckline, nude flats, and styled her hair with chic curls. Tyler wore a navy tux with a white button down shirt and a  gray tie. Rachel's bridesmaids followed the color scheme of gray's and navy blues and got to pick out their own mismatching dresses. I just love this idea! Tyler's groomsmen went with the classic look similar to what Tyler was wearing. White shirts with gray ties. Everything went on without a hitch and it was just the most beautiful wedding I had ever seen. I had to share this one with you all and include some pictures as well of course. For a month and a half of planning, I was so impressed by all of the details. We were so happy to be a part of Rachel and Tyler's special day. They by far are the sweetest little family you will ever meet and we couldn't be more happy for them! Here are some of my favorites from their most special day. 

Also, a HUGE thanks to LisaAnne Photography for capturing these moments and sharing her beautiful work with us. She is such an artist!
