Beautiful Southern Wedding Day / Bennettsville, SC Wedding
Happy New Year, ya'll. I was hopeful that by having my first wedding of 2025 in South Carolina, it would be a little warmer than my home state...but although it was bright and sunny, it was a cold January wedding. I was married in July and vividly remember the heat, but as we stepped out into the cold, Courtney's bridesmaids all echoed similar thoughts...why couldn't be July? LOL! All joking aside, Lance and Courtney, along with their family and wedding party, did such a great job braving the cold for some beautiful wedding portraits.
We started our day with the ladies at a beautiful church in Bennettsville, SC. Once I saw Courtney, with her beaming smile, I knew it was going to be a great day. Her family and friends made me feel right at home and I appreciated all their assistance, showing some amazing southern hospitality. We quickly went to work, shooting Courtney's sweet details and before we knew it, it was time for her to walk down the aisle to see her Lance. It was truly standing-room only with probably one of the biggest weddings I've ever shot. It was a beautiful ceremony followed by a few moments with the couple before moving out to the reception.
The reception was lively and so much fun with lots of kids...many of them were Courtney's students at her dance studio...and yes they all knew how to dance. Courtney shared a special dance with Lance, followed by her brother. Her mother joined in with her brother and you can feel that this is one close-knit family. With 350 or so guests, it would have been hard for the couple to get time with all the guests. But they made it a point to hug and chat with so many. Courtney ended the evening with a choreographed dance that she and her entire dance group performed...IT WAS AMAZING!!!! Such a fun way to start off the 2025 season...Congratulations, Lance and Courtney! Thank you for choosing me for such a special day! Here's to many joyful years to come!
