Rachel and Bobby met in college at UCF (We love fellow UCF alumni…Go Knights!!). Through years of friendship and lots of encouragement from family and friends, the two started dating back in 2012 and haven’t looked. Nothing could keep them apart – even living in different cities for a while. Bobby popped the question on May 19, 2016 (Sean and I’s anniversary!) at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco and after 18 months of planning.
The JW Marriott was the perfect setting for these two love birds and their Jewish Wedding. Rachel got ready with her bridesmaids at the hotel in matching robes and socks. They toasted the day before Rachel got in her Tara Keely dress with the help of her mom and maids of honor.
Surrounded by his best friends, Bobby opened up a large box from Rachel. With a note “I hit the bulls eye with you” he opened his personalized Darts. I’m pretty sure if we had not stopped them they might of had a game right there in the hotel room.
Because they were signing the Ketubah, Rachel and Bobby had a first look. It was also a wise choice since their ceremony ended right before sunset and they were able to have beautiful daylight shots together. After a tearful first look we had a great time taking pictures along the way to spa to meet the rest of the bridal party for photos.
It was here that Rachel also had very emotional first look with her dad on the outside grande staircase. There she gave him a sweet hankie with a message on it. And it quickly got put to use with all the sweet tears.
After their ceremony and sunset photos the party started with a bang with the AMAZING band Synergy! After the first dance and parent dances they went right into the Horah and we knew from then on it was gonna be a fun night! I don’t think the dance floor was ever empty. Congratulations to both of you! We were so honored to be such a special part of your day !
