We drove through some beautiful countryside to get to Josh & Courtney’s hometown church in Alexander this past Saturday.

The groom…he seemed pretty calm the whole time…in fact, I’m pretty sure he spent the morning fishing.

The ring bearer…you can almost always count on ring bearers to be funny, and Austin lived up to my expectations.

And here’s the bride, Courtney, with her mom.

This is exactly how I picture Courtney at all times – laughing and surrounded by friends and family.

..even if a few “happy tears” managed to sneak their way in.

The couple had a beautiful evening service.

I loved the communion by candlelight!

After the service and portraits we headed outside for a few pictures before the rain clouds rolled in again.

They look pretty happy, don’t you think?

By the end of the night the rain had stopped and everyone came outdoors to wrap up the evening.

I always wonder about the getaway car (or truck) – who cleans it in the morning? Does it sit in an airport this way?

Courtney and Josh, we hope you have a fantastic Mediterranean honeymoon!
