A special congratulations to Courtney and Gary who were wed on September 26, 2008. After being stranded out at sea during her bachlorette cruise because of Hurricane Gustav, and having to wonder if Ashton Gardens would even have power to hold her ceremony due to Ike; Courtney handled the day with such amazing ease and grace. We were all set to have a candle lit ceremony at the Ashton chapel, and a plan B reception at the Waterway Marriot. Two days before the ceremony, we got word that the following days bride was DETERMINED to have her wedding as planned... so her family generously provided two large commercial generators to power the entire facility for the weekend!!! Lights, AC, Food, everything worked out perfectly in the end, and it was a lovely, lovely night...
Danielle Doyle of The Perfect Face works her magic. To all brides still looking for a makeup artist, look no further... She is professional, fast, and you WILL look FLAWLESS.
It's a team effort!
I love this photo as dad sees her for the first time, mom looks on in the background...
I just had to include this shot of the ring bearer... he looks so dapper!
But not quite as dapper as Gary
A sweet moment during the ceremony
Man and Wife
From boss to husband... now she's the boss ;)
First dance...
Courtney and dad decided to break into Soulja Boy in the middle of their dance... Amusement ensues...
A strong finish to their dance
I love this moment between Gary and his mom
Shadow puppets!
Goodnight now!
