I am always amazed to hear when couples plan their weddings long distance. Such was the case with Rachel + Tristan. Thanks to their wonderful family, friends, and such great vendors, their elegant but still midwest-laid-back wedding came to be.
Their wedding day fused so many of my favorite wedding details: a sharp dressed wedding party, romantic florals, amazing pianist during the ceremony, pretty paper goods with lovely typography, personal touches, and a terrific photo slide-show post dinner.
R+T were such a treat to work with. Enjoy the preview! xo

Um, how adorable is this photo?!
