Wedding-Courtney and Michael

Courtney and Michael are the kind of clients a photographer prays for! They have great style, they are soooo laid back, so cool and up for anything...not to mention they are an ADORABLE couple! I was THRILLED to be a part of their wedding!! Here are some highlights of their day.



Dress detail had just the right amount of bling...



The rings...



Courtney's grandmother's garter and pearls from HER wedding day...





Loved this little vintage style pin she decided at the last minute she'd add to her hair. Just the PERFECT touch!



And under all that style and grace??? What else but purple kicks!!



Dad seeing his little girl for the first time in her wedding gown! Love this shot!



Then she was ready to go and anxiously...actually quite calmly, await her guests



There were quite a few little guys running around in their suspenders with the big guys...



My 2nd shooter for the day was Jennifer Crowe. She grabbed the 2 shots below of Michael getting ready! (Thanks for your help Jennifer!! I am glad you were there with me :)



Here's all the guys waiting for Courtney to walk down the aisle



Her mom and dad walked her down.





Courtney and Michael chose to do one of my favorite traditions during their ceremony. It's where the bride and groom each take a small jar or vase of colored sand and pour it together into another larger vase.





The tradition states that it would be easier to separate the 2 different colored sands that are now together than to separate the couple. It makes a beautiful keepsake as well as a beautiful sentiment.



The kiss






The setting was just gorgeous and so was the weather so we had a lot of fun after the ceremony!





I was totally diggin' Courtney's shoes!!!






We also got to tour the Winery! It was VERY cool!












We were rockin' those shoes!!! LOL!!











Ok I may be going a little crazy with the image count here so maybe we should move on to the reception!

They re-recited their vows and I love how Michael is looking at her here...



The cake...





The first Dance...





father daughter dance...gosh this was sweet. Her dad is SOOOOOO in love with her. Earlier in the day he showed me her 3 month old baby picture that he still carries in his wallet and told me her birth story. So when they danced I teared up a little :)





Garter toss...



Bridal Bouquet toss...



And a rockin' band!!













And plenty of dancing the night away!



What a fabulous wedding Courtney! I wish you and Michael a lifetime of happiness and blessings! Thank you so much for having me it was my pleasure!!
