(Okay, get ready for a lot of pictures! This wedding was so beautiful, that is was very difficult to narrow the photos down for this post. But I tried!)
People often say that weddings are beautiful. However, I must say that the word beautiful just doesn’t seem to cover Rachel and Dimitri’s wedding. We will also have to add exquisite, romantic and dreamy. Oh my goodness, dreamy! From Rachel’s stunning vintage-styled dress to the intricate floral arrangements (full of my favorite flower, Peonies!),to the amazingly styled reception by Gloriosa . All this in the rustic and elegant setting you can find only at The Inn at Serenbe.
Add to that the sweetest couple in the world, Rachel and Dimitri. I just love them. You may remember seeing there engagement photos. We took a little day trip to Serenbe for those as well. Rachel and Dimitri chose to do a first look, and I am so glad. We captured some really sweet photos of them away from the busyness of the day. Just loved that.
Thank you so much to Sterling Graves of Andrew Sterling Photography for second shooting this wedding. You are so wonderful to have around!
Well, enough of my rambling. I know you want to see their photos, so here we go!
LOVE YOU RACHEL AND DIMITRI! (est. November 10, 2012)

Absolutely gorgeous! Really enjoyed viewing each one. Your love and joy for each other was all over your faces!
Ah, absolutely breathtaking!! 🙂 Dimitri & I were friends back in high school & I’m so glad to see him so happy! 🙂
These are just stunningly beautiful. You can just sense the delight, love, and sweetness of the day! And I don’t even know these two people! =) I’ve followed your blog……ok, stalked it……;) for a couple years. Thank you for the blessing of you and your giftedness. Well done! You are faithful in sharing your gift and I’m ever grateful. Many blessings, Julie
The beauty, the love … so perfectly captured. Breathtaking.
Oh, Mary Anne, I could say I’m speechless but actually I could go on and on about these images. If I didn’t know better, I’d say these were somehow from a staged wedding and reception because they are flawless and the beauty just takes my breath away. Except, your story about this sweet couple from their engagement and the story about Rachel from last year help us know that it’s the spirit and love and joy we’re seeing that really make the pictures so breathtakingly beautiful. These images are so wholly and completely the definition of love and God’s gift of marriage in Him, that they remind me of what I love about my husband, and our own November wedding (Nov 9, 1996!), and to be grateful for every day together. Thank you for sharing them! You are an artistic genius with the camera! Best wishes to Rachel and Dimitri for a long sweet life together!!
What a lovely wedding!
Hi Mary Anne,
I manage the public relations for Gloriosa and I stumbled upon these photos on Pinterest. These are such gorgeous photos and I would love to add them to our visual collateral! If you could shoot me and email I would love to talk about this further!
