Courtney & Clayton were married at The Crossings in Carlsbad – a gorgeous venue I was thrilled to shoot at. They first went out in 7th grade but since those relationships are always revolving – it didn’t last too long. However, after reconnecting at a friends wedding about three years, they began dating again and here they are today! It was so hard to choose favorites from this wedding, Courtney just has that look that photographs so well. I’m pretty sure I didn’t get a bad picture all day long. And not only are they a gorgeous couple, they were so expressive and full of emotion. It made my job super easy and so much fun. Here are some of my favorites!
Look at all this amazing lace!!
Her dad waited patiently before getting to view his little girl for the first time. It was one of my all time favorite first looks for a daddy daughter!
One of my favorite images of these two is below! We did photos on the golf course and were met with some wicked wind! I kind of love that wind blown look though.
Courtney didnt have an official bridal party, but we had to snag a couple with girls. These ladies liked to have a good time!
This veil was AMAZING. And we literally snuck out for about 5 minutes after cocktail hour to snag these photos… I’m so thankful we did because they’re some of my favorite of the day!
Two of Courtney’s closest friend broke out in a surprise song and dance after the toasts. It was pretty amazing.
I loved sharing in this celebration with these two. I could tell they lived a wildly free and spirited life together. Their love was resounding and true. Much love to Courtney and Clayton. Here are some of those that made their day the success that it was.
