pinky swears and donut towers, every detail of #aandbabe rachel and zachary's big day was uniquely them. a little bit classic and a boatload of fun... you might say that's their love story too. meeting on "a cruise through the caribbean. one of the holiday ones", they hung out daily while onboard. their relationship was tested with distance and time at various stages, but ultimately their hearts knew they'd found home. and at open heart ranch on a sunny october day, rachel and zachary promised to keep their hearts open to each other… forever!

the mountain views. the badass bridal jacket. this wedding is literally our pinterest board and we can't contain our excitement. rachel was radiant in 'bonnie' by willowby by watters. the v-neckline and bold lace covering this fit-to-flare boho wedding dress were statements themselves and the skinny lace straps leading to an open v-back sealed the deal. this distinct fitted willowby wedding gown was a dream come true and paired perfectly with rachel's 'till death do us part' denim bridal jacket. nothing like embroidered skeleton pinkies and an embellished bridal comb in a half-up-half-down hairstyle to say HELL YEAH, I'M THE BRIDE!

not only was rachel's wedding style an A+, but so was the rustic decor of their outdoor overlook wedding ceremony. from their copper ceremony arch covered in pampas grass and roses to the calm water below them, the natural elements of their charming colorado outdoor wedding couldn't have been more surreal. 

after exchanging vows, guests headed to the wedding venue's minimal barn to make the most of the celebrations ahead. we got a kick out of the twirl shot of their flower girl spinning in her rose petal tutu before the dance floor filled up. taking every detail into consideration, rachel and zachary's vision of an all-fun, no-fuss wedding was clear in every comforting design detail. 52 private acres of grassy fields stretching to waterfront views and a modern white barn reception space, this countryside colorado wedding couldn't have been cooler. congratulations, rachel and zachary.
