Night had settled upon the city cloaking the once busy
streets in a veil of darkness. The normal hustle and bustle of the day was
replaced by soft glitter of Christmas lights while the streets in this part of
the city fell still and quiet. Here and there we could see glimpses of partygoers
dressed in their best heading off to New Year’s Eve celebrations. The night air was windy and cold, but in
spite of the weather outside, everything about Lia and Courtney’s wedding felt
warm and inviting - delicate flowers adorned the tables while the soft glow of
candlelight created a romantic and inviting atmosphere.
Lia and Courtney are simply the sweetest! They both have
such kind and genuine hearts and are totally perfect for each other. I love when couples wear their hearts on their
sleeve – the open expression of love makes me smile. No fear of judgment, no need to control the
emotions – just pure, unfiltered love. It’s
the stuff of photographer dreams, and these two wore such smiles of love and
happiness upon their faces that it was hard not to smile right along with
them.
As the night wound on and the end of the year approached,
the sounds of music, laughter and happiness filled the halls. Dancing surrounded by their friends and
family, Lia and Courtney celebrated the start of their new life together. An evening of celebration that was born in
the stillness of night was the perfect mixture of beginnings and ends. As a
year ended, a marriage began – and I couldn’t think of a more perfect way to
celebrate it all than by being with these two amazing women.
