Heather and Justin's Wedding :: Newgulf Clubhouse

We are so excited to share Heather and Justin's wedding day with you all! This day will certainly go down as one of our most-favorite weddings we've ever had the privilege of photographing. These two lovebirds are two of the most genuinely nice, down to earth, and laid-back people we've ever got to be around. Their day was all about them - no bridesmaids, no fuss. It was definitely a day where everyone could feel the love!

This day was also special to us as we actually split the shooting exactly half between film and digital. Luke shot 100% film and I shot 100% digital. As you're looking through the day's images, see if you can tell which are film and which are digital. Sometimes even we get confused on them! I'll give you a hint... this first one of the beautiful bride is FILM.

Justin is probably the most polite guy I've gotten to be around in a while. He was so nice, not a bit nervous, and very excited to be saying "I do" to Heather.

We had about a 25 minute drive to the Newgulf Clubhouse for the reception, so Heather and Justin made their getaway in a vintage car. They couldn't have been any cuter if they tried.

I absolutely adore this reception venue - it's truly a hidden gem. The Newgulf Clubhouse has so much character and history. It's just the right size for intimate receptions and gatherings - it was truly perfect for this reception!

Heather has an eye for style. I loved her decisions she made about the decor. The flowers for the reception were all white, and the tables were antique tables with vintage lace tablecloths.

Love this idea! In addition to the bride's cake, they also had a table with homemade pies. Heather's family owns a wonderful restaurant that is famous for it's pies. Apple, lemon, cherry, and buttermilk pecan were the flavors of the day. I feel safe admitting this now: I had 2 pieces of dessert.

So Heather comes from a restaurant family... and guess what? So does Justin! Do you think they're going to have some great meals at their house, or what?

The ruffles on this cake, baked by Heather's aunt, were gorgeous.

As the sun set, we headed outside for the bride and groom's portraits. The next couple of minutes with Heather and Justin resulted in some of our absolute favorite portraits we've ever shot.

Their first dance was to "As Long As I'm Rockin' With You" by John Conlee. It was spectacular! I say that because I, too, am a big John Conlee fan. I was singing along until Luke caught my eye and gave me a look that pretty much said, "You better stop, you look like an idiot." Thanks for the heads up! :)

Right at dusk they made their sparkler exit...

...and they lived happily ever after. Or at least that's my best guess :)

Heather and Justin, how are we ever going to top your day? I doubt we ever will! You guys were so much fun to work with and you made our job supremely easy - mainly because of your genuine love for each other. We just got to sit back and photograph the magic! Thank you for letting us work with you on this important day! We wish you a lifetime of love and happiness, and more laughs than you can handle!
