Ashley + Chase :: Wedding

You may remember this adorable couple from their engagement photos shot a while back. The wedding day had finally arrived. The weather was perfect and the bride and groom were anxiously ready to profess their love for each other in front of their friends and family. The entire day went smoothly and the celebration was a day I know they will remember and cherish for the rest of their lives.

Chase and Ashley: it was an honor to be a part of the best day of your lives. Thank you for inviting me to be a part of it. xo

Ashley and Chase opted to do a First Look, which as you know in my experience, is one of the best decisions you could make on your day. It makes everything a million times better.

During the First Look, Ashley surprised Chase with a boudoir album from our studio The Boudoir Vixen. He was totally thrilled to say the least as he looked through her stunning photos!

Ashley + Graham :: Engagement

Meet Ashley and Graham. They met when they were in FIRST GRADE. How amazing is that!?! I LOVE IT. I mean, if that isn’t about the coolest story of how two people met, I don’t know what is. So darn cute! I absolutely had so much fun photographing these two for their engagement photos. They were super easy and fun to work with and I couldn’t be more thrilled with how their photos turned out.

Ashley and Graham – thank you guys SO much from the bottom of my heart for choosing lil ol me! I can’t wait for the wedding! xo

I came across this spot, and pretty much died. Heeeavvvveeen on earth.

Ashley and Graham did a GREAT job with their outfit choices. This is a PERFECT way to dress for your shoot.

Pure class, Courtney! Loved your view from there….

this is marvelous!! Love love love it! :-)

Good grief, Courtney, what a divine set of images – I am in awe of what you do! The photogenic couple, the setting, the way you work the light…. this is just fantastic stuff. I love following your work!

Emily + Scott :: Wedding

It was a beautiful day in New Orleans for a beautiful wedding between a beautiful couple.  You may remember Emily and Scott from their engagement photos I shot last fall. It was so wonderful being a part of capturing their memories on their big day. Everything happened so effortlessly and I am certain it was an evening they will remember forever.

Thank you Emily and Scott for allowing me the honor of photographing your wedding. xo

Emily’s beautiful Ramona Keveza dress was so perfect!

How fun are these cakes?!

Love the next four shots Deirdre captured of Emily preparing to walk down the aisle of the St. Louis Cathedral in the heart of New Orleans.

After the ceremony it was time to Second Line down the streets of New Orleans and head to the reception.

Groovy 7 was the band at their reception. I LOVE THIS BAND. By far one of the best I have ever seen/heard at a wedding. They can literally perform anything. No ipod needed!

Scott: “I need more cowbell!!”" –not gonna lie, my grooms are rad.

Congratulations Emily and Scott!!

Katie :: Bridal

Today I am sharing a bridal shoot I’ve been dying to post! Katie was married this past weekend to Jason. She was a stunning bride and I can’t wait to share their wedding photos with you. But first, please enjoy some of my favorites from her bridal shoot.

I absolutely LOVED Katie’s wedding dress. So elegant, soft and different.

My favorite kind of veils are cathedral length styles. They are so gorgeous for photographs.

I agree..her dress is stunning!! So different & sweet. Very romantic! And you did a wonderful job capturing all of that beauty in these pictures. I just love your work Courtney! (and your assistants also lol)

Morgan + Grady :: Wedding

Do you remember the couple with the adorable farm engagement session? Well, they have known each other since they were in grammar school. And although they may not have realized it at such a young age, they were destined to be together. They became high school sweethearts, and the rest is pretty much history. One of my favorite things about these two is how much they laugh together. They are quite obviously each other’s best friend and quite frankly, complete each other. The wedding day was a beautiful celebration and moments to remember forever.

Morgan and Grady – thank you for everything!! I hope you cherish the photos for the rest of your lives. xo

Morgan’s mom wore the lace gloves on her wedding day. I loved that Morgan incorporated them into her wedding day.

Morgan and Grady made the very wise decision of seeing each other before the ceremony. Also known as a First Look.

Love this:

Wedding time!

After the reception, Morgan and Grady made their grand exit on a boat!

This adorable couple was so much fun to shoot. They laughed a lot through out the whole thing making my job that much more fun! It was one of the prettiest days I have ever seen in Louisiana and we had so much fun together capturing these photos that I just know they will cherish throughout the years.

Can’t wait for the big day Meghan and Carlos! Thanks for being amazing!
