Courtney and Keith | Married

Blue skies. A perfect 5 mph breeze and sunshine. The morning of July 3rd I woke up and peeked out my faux wood blinds to see a glimpse into the days morning. I slipped my cold toes into my fuzzy slippers and made my way into the kitchen. My mind is racing with inspiration as the loud noise of the coffee bean grinders chops away at my fresh beans. I hit “brew” and moseyed my way into the office. I plumped my rear into my over sized leather chair and allowed myself to fully wake up. I hit up my favorite photographers of ALL TIME for daily inspiration and ideas. It was go time!

The clear morning skies carried into the afternoon. We arrived at the hotel where Courtney would be putting the final touches of her makeup on. We had attended the rehearsal dinner the night before and got to know everyones wonderful personalities. It made the wedding day a graceful breeze as I was able to call up everyone by name. I walked into the room and said my hellos to all the gals. Everyone was giddy with excitement. Courtney’s makeup was flawless and she was ready to start!!

Courtney and Keith decided to meet before the ceremony to get all the pictures done. I have to say that I completely love Courtney and Keith for allowing 2 hours for all the pictures before hand. This made the day go super smooth and nothing was rushed! The two meeting each other was super special. Keith had his back turned towards Courtney and I gave Courtney the freedom to walk on up to Keith and tell him when to turn around. I love watching the brides reaction as she prepares to call out her husbands name to see her for the first time. Its one of my most favorite parts of the day.

Everything that day couldnt have been more perfect. I loved Courtney and Keith, both their families and the bridal party. You guys were great and I cant wait to work with you again in the future!!!

The wedding and reception took place at the Columbus Athenaeum
