Courtney and Bob's Wedding

I was the second shooter for Heather! at Courtney's wedding at the Methodist Church in Mt. Pleasant. Courtney and Bob saw each other before the wedding. Courtney was waiting at the alter with her back to Bob as he came into the church. (We do the bride instead of the groom, because the bride usually shows more emotions than the groom.) That gave them some time to be together before the wedding, and it allowed us to capture their faces as they saw each other for the first time. It also allowed them to go straight to the ceremony without having to wait for pictures. It was very romantic.
Afterwards, we started taking pictures of the wedding party. Courtney's family is so much fun! As her sister came out of the church, she dropped the groom's ring. The only sound was a gasp from the wedding party and a clang as it hit the concrete and slowly rolled across the pavement. But Kendall is so funny, she soon had the bride laughing with her again.
I also thought it was sweet that her mother had saved the garter from her wedding for her daughter to wear on her wedding day. Courtney got married on her mother and father's anniversary.
The reception was held at the Speedway. During the dancing, the DJ had everyone that was married less than a certain number of years leave the dance floor. At the end the longest married couple was Courtney's grandparents. They have been married 52 years! And the dancing! It was so much fun to watch. Courtney's parents really know how to "get down"! I wish I had that much energy!
It was HOT, it was late when we left, but I wish I could do it every weekend!
