If rain is good luck on your wedding day, and rainbows are good luck always, then these two must be the luckiest around. Just minutes after Fal and Richard said “I Do!” it began to sprinkle in the garden. Ever-optimistic, these two just picked up an umbrella and we kept right on photographing. Right as we were wrapping up, a full, glowing rainbow emerged right over the ceremony space,

Fal and Richard had quite the week leading up to their wedding: medical boards on Tuesday, moving on Wednesday and driving to Asheville on Thursday. So, come Saturday, it seemed almost surreal that they’d been able to pull everything off. As they were sitting on the floral sofa under the twinkle lights taking their couple’s photos, in the middle of gazing lovingly at each other Richard suddenly gasped and threw up his hands, “We really did it!”

The biggest takeaway I had from their sweet day, was that in the decade they’ve been together, they really have done everything together. Including throwing an epic celebration melding together their multicultural backgrounds surrounded by all of their friends and family.

An epic celebration doesn’t happen without an epic crew. Thanks to everyone who helped pull off Fal and Richard’s big day!
