Pulling into Athena Estate & Vineyard for the first time was jaw-dropping. Every detail of the venue was perfect and that was perfect for this detail-oriented bride, Courtney. Courtney was a bride who knew exactly what she wanted and had every single detail of the day mapped out.
The day was so much fun that it didn't even feel like work. I even got my own personal golf cart! How fun?!
Seeing his daughter for the first time, Buddy couldn't believe that he and his wife created something as beautiful as Courtney. The bond that the bride and her father share was admirable. He was so proud of his daughter and she was so anxious for him to see her as a bride!
The emotional groom, Corey, couldn't get enough of seeing his bride from the first time at the rustic covered bridge. You could see the love in his eyes as he turned around and saw Courtney. It was such a raw moment to witness. I cannot recommend enough how important a first look is! It is such a private and emotional moment!
After a nostalgic moment of enjoying some Shania Twain, I snuck the bride and groom away from the crowd from some flawless sunset portraits. Oh my goodness, they were beautiful! The stunning sunset was a perfect ending to such a beautiful wedding.
