I finally returned back home for a wonderful Lubbock wedding. I knew that Nathan and Courtney's day would be gorgeous and full of lots of great friends and family. We also had some amazing weather- more on that later!

Side note: Just in case you haven't figured it out yet, this is a PHOTO blog. Lately I've been hesitant to post so many images, but I can't NOT post them! So, if you have a slow internet connection, I apologize. Just be patient, let the images load. It's worth it!

We began the day at First Baptist Church, and there were so many wonderful details to capture.

Courtney looked gorgeous, and was so relaxed and ready to see her husband!

The guys were really feelin' the love, haha.

Love this one that Shanna got.

Nathan and Courtney chose to do a First Glance, which really allowed for a relaxed, fun day and creative portraits!

Shanna's view:

Little Sophia was the PERFECT flower girl. She was so sweet, and also entertained the guests with her dinosaur crawl!

The reception was held at the Frazier Alumni Pavilion at Texas Tech. It had been a beautiful day, but about midway into the party it started to storm. We stepped outside to look, and I held my camera up hoping that I could catch a lightning strike. The image below is what resulted!

It's a tradition in Courtney's family to include the African-American tradition of "jumping the broom" after they say their vows. This broom even had a cute bow on it!
