There is this moment on a wedding day that happens to a bride. It is the indescribable instance her eyes meet his for the first time. Saturday was no different for Courtney – she decided she wanted to see her fiance, Casey, for the first time prior to their ceremony for a “first look” – what I didn’t anticipate was the ‘other’ first look that would catch us all off guard and throw us into a whirlwind of emotions. Both of these were incredible magical, and emotional for such different but similar reasons….
Her dad saw her first…(there wasn’t a dry eye in the room).

Courtney & Casey {First Look Below} – – – –
“You have always been so so beautiful, but today you are more beautiful than I’ve ever seen you…” I don’t know how I kept shooting through the tears…








beautiful.



























Thank you Jamie McGarity for helping me catch both of these moments. Without a second photographer, it wouldn’t have been the same.
