rachel + bj || des moines wedding photographer

some people in the world have a soul that actually radiates kindness. Rachel has one of those souls. She is a teacher, a lover of children, is kind to the elderly, as well as family and friends, and loves one man, BJ. Ohhh, and she is super funny.

BJ is pretty awesome too, i will say this, i had tears rolling down my face when he gave his speech at the reception. He is kind, respectful, loving, understanding and full of gratitude and loves one woman, Rachel.

Lucky they are.
