On a cold day like today, it’s nice to warm up thinking about Rachel and Bam’s Five Bridges Inn wedding this past summer. I miss those days of snapping around a meadow on a late July afternoon. Sigh… why does summer have to end?

Rachel and the girls got ready upstairs at the Five Brides Inn. Rachel is absolutely stunning. The hair, those eyes, her skin. She’s a real beauty!

And Bam? He’s smart, accomplished, handsome, and he has terrific style!

In addition to all of Bam’s fine qualities, he’s also a beloved uncle to the gang of kiddos below!

This is a not-often blogged photograph of the ceremony but I like the ring exchange between the best man and the groom. It’s an important moment!

Married! Looks like there’s a new Auntie in the house!

The dappers and the lovelies…

Having a little fun with serious posing…

… and a little more fun with baby photos!

Seriously! The light!

It was soooo hot out! We made Bam stand in this field in the blazing sun in his suit. Not to mention, Rachel’s delicate skin scorching. I hope they both agree these images were worth the suffering!

You know you’ve nailed your wedding style when your dress and bouquet coordinate perfectly with your reception.

By the way, Jaime Nelson of Eventfully Planned was the fantastic wedding coordinator!

Sweetness.

Rachel’s dad had a song written for their wedding by an artist in Nashville. It was a huge hit and Rachel was really touched.

A chandelier in the trees is the perfect end to a perfect summer day and a perfect Five Bridges Inn wedding!
