Good morning! The wedding we’re featuring on our blog today was incredibly cute. Josh and I were definitely looking forward to this one as it approached on our calendar. It was a country wedding complete with cowboy boots, mason jars, blue jeans, and country music.
I met the bride and her bridal party at Profiles Salon. They were all so excited and already looking fabulous.
We then ventured to the church. Most adorable flower girl ever? She’s certainly at the top of our list!
Josh was having fun with the guys in some woods nearby the church at this point. I absolutely love how laid back this wedding was. The guys got to wear jeans! They were stoked.
Getting into a wedding dress usually takes an army. That’s what all of her girls were for.
This  bridal party was fun & I could tell that the bridesmaids’ number one goal was making sure Courtney’s day was beautiful and fun.
I LOVE this shot of the beautiful bride.
Ed adores Courtney. He will absolutely take care of her for the rest of her life. He also teases her quite a bit, but she likes it. 😉
Now they’re wife and husband! Yay!
The reception was held at The Links at Firestone Farms. There are a ton of photo ops around the property & Debbie (the planner & manager) is so fantastic to work with. She takes care to ensure that your event is organized and personalized, & the staff at The Links is always professional.
I love that they’re goofy and romantic together. They make each other laugh.
The Fall colors were absolutely gorgeous for their bride & groom creative photo session. We wanted to stay out there all day, but we, of course, understand that they and their guests wanted to eat dinner and dance. 😉 We’d go hungry for a few hours to stay out taking photos in such breathtaking conditions, but your wedding day is most definitely not about us.
We had to include Ed’s baby in the wedding photos. She did such a wonderful job during the engagement session. <—– Check it out. 🙂
Two Smart Cookies made the cake. They’re from East Liverpool, Ohio. Check out their work on Facebook.
She had a long day. So sweet. Her daddy had to carry her into the reception for her grand entrance- see below.
The best man’s toast was a riot. He definitely made a few faces red.
The maid of honor’s toast was touching.
This was one of only a couple of our weddings this year with a little cake smashing.
Looks like the beautiful flower girl woke up from her nap to do a little dancing.
The dollar dash; their containers were mason jars.
Counting the money.
And the guys won. Courtney has to wash Ed’s truck for a year.
Just getting a little creative with the windows surrounding the reception hall during the dancing:
We snuck them away for a few minutes during the reception for a romantic end-of-the-evening shot. 🙂
Courtney & Ed, you’re made for each other. We are so very happy for you and wish you lifelong bliss.
