rebecca & harris are married!

rebecca & harris’s wedding day was a dream come true- for them and for us! everything about their day was carefully conceived and perfectly orchestrated to create an environment where everyone from the grandparents to the flower girl felt loved and personally cared for by rebecca & harris, themselves. i could hardly believe the amount of energy and life rebecca & harris were able to share on their wedding day- it was as if they were energized just by being around those they love most. :) actually, when i think of their wedding day, the picture in my head is exactly that- a circle of love and laughter and passion passed between rebecca and harris and to their guests and back again- does that even make any sense? do you know anyone like that who just exudes the joy of being alive so much that you catch it and get caught up in it with them? that’s rebecca. AND harris. you guys, they are BOTH that special type of person and together they are such a beautiful couple! spending the day capturing these two felt like such a gift- beautiful moments were all around us and we left their wedding with joy in our hearts. :) but, i’m getting ahead of myself again- images! please just look!

just STUNNING:

my favorite! well, i may say that about a few others later… ;)

just before the ceremony, in the midst of a few quick portraits, the vocalists began to warm up. the moment rebecca heard the first few notes of the song she arranged for them, her eyes filled up and she ran to where they could see her to let them know how beautiful they sounded. it was a beautiful moment and perfectly represents rebecca’s passion for living every little moment. :)

meanwhile, harris and his friends and family were relaxing in the barn- swapping stories and generally enjoying the most perfect day:

i love this next image matt captured of the ladies making their way to the ceremony site- seriously every moment of the day happened exactly as planned but in the most natural and effortless way! between rebecca’s planning and the impeccable coordination of nicole from verge events, there was never a lost moment.

rebecca’s sister was her maid of honor and, though most maids of honor are excellent the day-of, i just have to give credit where credit is due: casey’s every moment was filled with looking around to see what she could do to make rebecca’s day more comfortable, smooth and stress-free. it’s so sweet to see sisters who are such wonderful friends:

rebecca & harris’s wedding day was held at the very beautiful farm at old edward’s inn in highlands, north carolina. the property was such a treat to explore and we really felt like every corner we turned led us to a beautiful little vignette that we just had to make into a portrait! i hope we find our way back there soon!

ok, actually, this one may be my favorite:

this one is my other favorite:
