Courtney and John had a beautiful day for their December wedding! I met the bridal party at the hotel where the girls were getting ready and captured the details of Courtney’s gown and accessories, and the final moments of preparation before the ceremony. The church was just a short drive from the hotel, and it was one of the most beautiful churches I have ever seen. Sunlight flooded the nave through the stained glass windows, and the gold wall behind the altar was an amazing glittery backdrop for a beautiful ceremony. Following the ceremony, we were able to brave the cold for a bit to get some fun portraits of the bridal party and bride and groom. Some of my favorite images from the day were captured just before they hopped in the limo, when the golden light on the street seemed to echo the warmth of the love and joy coming from the new Mr. & Mrs. The reception was filled with thoughtful toasts, delicious food, lots of laughter and dancing. Thank you Courtney and John for allowing me to be a part of your special day!
