I was offered the chance to assist in shooting a wedding last weekend. I did not have a wedding of my own (Justice of the Peace for me-during lunch break from work!), so it is always an awesome time to be able to experience the joy and emotion of that day, I think I may have teared up at some point (just don't tell anyone). Courtney was the calmest, most relaxed bride I have seen. The thunder and rain that began during their outside ceremony seemed to not even faze her. Plan B was initiated without fuss and everyone moved inside for the remaining of the ceremony. Courtney was a gorgeous bride and I wish the best to her and Spencer (and Dayeton too!).

Friends and family crafted many of the decorations and details in the wedding. Courtney's shoes were ballet slippers, hand decorated by her Mother.

When I first arrived, the air was warm, the sky was blue, and there was not a cloud to be seen...

As the time for the ceremony approached, the sky filled with dark clouds, the temperature dropped, and the wind began to whip. Thunder and lighting soon followed...

The shower ended quickly and led to a beautiful sunset.
