Rachel and Zach

Toadvines Acres for possibly the last time!? I hate to think about it, but this was a great wedding to close it out with. The morning was chill, and the weather was beautiful. Once the music kicked on, the party took off. Zach is a big dude, so a big dude needs a big blog to show off his beautiful wife. Scroll on to see!

Kiara killing it with the hair, and later on the dance floor!

“It’s not Rachel if a Twisted Tea isn’t in the pic.”

There were so many tears during this day, and the makeup that Ashley applied withstood them all.

Mom’s best friend putting the final pieces on.

The fancy Twisted Tea photo.

I really liked the old building next door, so we snuck over there to grab some bridal portraits before I went to visit the guys.

Little dude loves the camera.

I asked them to gaze deeply into one another’s eyes.

First look with brother and son.

Breaking all the rules by immediately greeting each other with a kiss.

The first official official family portrait.

The girls had their work cut out for them.

Too easy for the guys.

Their turn to lift the groom. There is a better shot where he is actually posed in their arms, but I really like the way his Dad is trying to hoist him up by the head.

The hardest photo I had to take all day <3

Ticks and chiggers step aside, we have the couples portraits to do!

Zach’s energy after marrying Rachel.

Somehow his suit is still prestine.

“I’m just going to wing it. Welcome everyone…again.”

The first dance with her brother was emotional…

Her father in law cutting in was even more so…

But you can always count on your brother to bring back the smiles.

It was tough deciding on what photo to put up for Steve and Missy. I ended up picking this sweet one over the two part series of Missy wiping icing off Steve’s nose and licking it off her finger. Those were hilarious, but this blog is already massive.

We would not have Toadvine Acres without this woman. I’m so sad that this may be the last for a long time. Mike gets his building back though.

The only way to hydrate.

Rachel yelling for all the kids to close their eyes as Zach plunged in headfirst.

My favorite dancers of the night go to these two. Their energy together was the best.

Rachel jiggling it.

Zach jiggling it.

My favorite dancers taking the bride for a ride.

Don’t take a picture!

Rachel with some of my favorite Milford peeps.

The cake was smashed everywhere.

No one was safe. People were laughing, children were crying, and the beer was flying.

Something to wash all that cake down with.

Caught these two! The DJ Hector and his wife Ashley as bartender combo will forever be my favorite!

Close runner up for favorite dancers were these two.

Just trying to get a nice photo with your hair stylist.

There are several ways you can tell if a bride is having the time of her life. One metric to use is to look at the amount of dirt on the bottom of her dress. That’s a sure sign she has been dancing her heart out. Each time I come to a Toadvine event, I think, there is no way they can come close to all the others. I should have known that these guys came prepared to party, and I am so thankful to have been a part once again!
