When Court emailed me to ask me about photographing her wedding, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. You might think I’m talking about something terrible or crazy, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Courtney’s personality makes her easily lovable and I was one who fell into a quick friendship with her. When Court and Bill came to their first consultation, it was easy to see why they had been together for so long and were ready to move on to the next phase in their lives. Bill was googley-eyed over Court and her sweet spirit and fun laugh. Court was swayed by Bill’s strong, yet easy going manner. No wonder they were in love. There sat two people who were confident in themselves and their love for one another. Marriage would solidify the commitment.

So, on September 26th, I got to spend the day with the both of them. Capturing each moment of their special day and joining into the laughter (LOTS of laughter) that everyone shared. What a wonderful day. It really couldn’t have been any more beautiful, either! So, thank you Bill and Court for picking me. Thank you for trusting me. I look forward to our friendship and the future it brings! Love you guys! Congratulations on your marriage.

Courtney and Bill chose to do a first look, which I explained here with a couple of preview pictures of Court and Bill’s day. It was such a sweet time for them as they shared an intimate moment before the guests arrived. And might I say, they both looked stunning.

I LOVE this moment!

During the ceremony, I could see so much love in both of their eyes! Check out the next two pictures…

Here are two pictures of the back of their house after the ceremony. Was it not just beautiful?

And of course, a wedding is not a wedding without kiddos. This little guy couldn’t stand the fact that there was a huge pool and no one swimming! Well, that is… not until he jumped in!

And to end the night, Court and Bill busted out with a little hoola-hooping! How great is this?

While looking through all the pictures, I was cracking up at all the hoola-hoop action! Even Nana joined in on the fun! Go Nana! Go Nana!
