Rachel and Arie’s day was filled with simple, lasting moments — soft candlelight, black and white details, and fresh, classic flowers throughout. Every detail felt intentional but never overdone, creating an atmosphere that was both beautiful and welcoming.

Stacy Able captured the day with such a natural, honest eye. Her photos tell the story exactly as it unfolded — the quiet portraits, the little in-between glances, and the unexpected favorites, like their sweet golden retriever making an appearance, or the moment Rachel and Arie shared their biggest surprise yet: they’re expecting a baby.

Family and friends stayed close by at Hotel Carmichael, which made the whole weekend feel easy and connected. Guests could explore, relax, and enjoy time together leading up to the celebration.

It was a day full of love, laughter, and new beginnings — one that will be remembered for all the right reasons.
