Traci & Randy’s Wedding

We love when we get the opportunity to photograph something different, so when Traci contacted us about her wedding at Grandview for only her and her groom, we loved it! There is something really beautiful about the simplicity of a wedding like this, and the focus is on nothing but their love and their union.

It was a beautiful day, a beautiful bride, and nothing but love.

We hope you enjoy…Traci & Randy.

What was your favorite detail of the wedding?
Our absolute favorite part about our wedding was the pure simplicity of it. We both wanted to make sure our wedding stayed about the two of us and that it was not over shadowed by “things”. It was special because it was about our love and commitment. It was such a beautiful day outside with just nature surrounding us. It truly was the perfect day!

Describe the proposal
Well, I think he knew I was expecting it soon so he tried his best to ask when I least expected it.
He asked if I would get some wine glasses down from the cabinet and when I did the most beautiful ring was inside the glass. After he asked…and of course..I said YES, he told me he had forgotten the wine!

Describe your ring
It is the prettiest ring I think I have ever seen! I think I must look at it a million times a day.
The engagement ring has a diamond split shank band with a round halo setting and a 1.25k round diamond in the center.
The wedding band is a very thin band of diamonds that compliments it very well.

How did you decide on your dress?
I must have tried on at least thirty dresses at different places. I could not describe exactly what I was looking for, I just knew that I would know if I put it on. I wanted something simple but pretty, not with excessive fabric or bead work.
My mother and sister were at the bridal store when I had already chosen one to buy when I decided to try this one last one….we all agreed it was the one!

What was your most memorable moment about your wedding day?
The most memorable thing about the wedding for me was the moment I saw Traci.  She was absolutely breath-taking, the most beautiful sight I have ever seen in my life.  As you can tell from the photos, I could not take my eyes off of her.  I’m having trouble keeping my eyes off her as I write this.

What’s next for you as a couple?  What are you looking forward to in the future?
Our next big thing is Traci going to nursing school.  It has been a dream of hers for a while now and I’m really excited for her to accomplish this.
We are looking forward to buying or building a house together soon, and just spending as much time together as possible.
