Rachael + Jason 10.08.10

This couple wins the award for most organized of the year.  They have spreadsheets for everything, a fact which came up multiple times during the toasts given by their family and friends!  Because R+J live out in Chicago, it made planning difficult and stressful....so Rachael's matron of honor contacted me and "purchased me" as a gift to help out.  I loved that I was a surprise present!!  R+J were great to work with and such a sweet couple.


I was a little nervous that we were planning an outdoor ceremony in Michigan in October... but thankfully it was a beautiful day!  Not only did I love the bride's dress, but the bridesmaid dresses were super adorable (you will have to wait for the pro pics!).  Luckily, all the vendors I had to work with were super experienced and fantastic.  The mansion itself is gorgeous and such a unique venue for a wedding.  I loved all the decor from The Parsonage, it was a perfect compliment to the architecture of the building.  Check out some pictures:

Thank you Sarah for making me into a surprise present and thank you Rachael and Jason for being so wonderful to work with.  It was a pleasure helping you plan your big day and even more of a pleasure to watch you get married!  Best wishes!!!  ♥Shelly
