TRAVERSE CITY ELOPEMENT // RACHEL + LOGAN

I've been thinking a lot about what to say regarding this unforgettable day near Traverse City with Rachel and Logan. Should I give you a step by step summary of all the beautiful things? Should I tell you all about the camping, woods, retro vans, motor bikes, vintage dresses, dunes, and sunsets? Or just a brief synopsis of my favorite highlights? Should I tell you their love story, starting out so young and making it work through everything? Or should I detail the sweetest moments and quiet whispers or highlight the loud laughter and tumbles in the sand? Should I tell you about them, who they are, their contagious personalities and overflowing love? OR should I just let the photographs speak for themselves?

I think I shall.

Artfully, Nicole Lashar
