Chris Cornwell Photographer

The first time I saw you,

my heart whispered,

“that’s the one.”

~  Unknown

Once in a very blue moon, we hear about someone special on Facebook. Tyler recounted the time he saw Rachel’s photo (shared by a mutual friend, John) and immediately knew he wanted to get to know her. He wasted no time and sent her a message to meet up. They hit it off on their very first date with dinner and drinks and a friendly arm wrestling match. She was completely herself, laid back and funny. It might have been her personality or long black hair falling over her shoulders and bright blue eyes, but he knew–right then–he had found…

THE ONE.

After over a year of planning their dream getaway wedding, Rachel, Tyler and their closest family and friends made a long trip down to Hilton Head Island for their seaside celebration. A beautiful venue, slight breeze and perfect temperature made everything come together perfectly.

 A year ago, Tyler asked Rachel to spend the rest of her life with him.

For she had eyes

and

chose me.

OTHELLO

Flowers by Sue created one of THE most beautiful WHITE bouquets ever. All peonies.

Many, many thanks to this amazing creative team who made this day possible…
