Nathan & Courtney

 

Who says you can’t find true love in Mcdonalds? That’s exactly what happened here when they both were working there and then fast forward to a beautiful proposal where Hilton Head was the setting which led us all the way to this gorgeous wedding day years later at Perry’s Landing in Hephzibah, GA.

The wedding day itself was full of jokes, tik-tok filming, tears, cats and pure joy. It started with details and filming some of the earlier parts of their tik-toks and then it led into popping champagne for the girls. The guys were just down the road and as they finished getting ready, Nathan got to open up his watch and hand out a few groomsmen gifts as well. When we finished some of their group photos, we then made our way to the venue since the girls were finishing up getting ready and it was time to setup for the first look. First, Courtney and her Father shared a sweet first look and he had an amazing reaction. It’s clear to tell that he’s a fun Dad but also really loves his little girl and then that led into a quick move of the mic over to Nathan to get him into place as well. Their first look was super sweet and full of smiles which then also allowed for the rest of the wedding party to come on over for some group photos as well just before hiding away to start the ceremony.

The ceremony itself was just gorgeous and we loved that they were able to incorporate their cats as “flower cats” pushed by the flower girl down the aisle in a stroller. After they said their vows (which we loved and are excited for the film later on), they sealed the deal with a kiss and walked out together as Mr. and Mrs. Hooker. As the vibrant sunlight bathes the newlyweds and their entourage, we then got to highlight the elegance and grace of the bridal party, family and of course, the Bride and Groom. With glowing smiles and enchanting poses, the couple's journey unfolds seamlessly from the formal photos to the grand entrance of the reception. They started their first dance and watching them joyfully glide across the dance floor was a sight to behold. The magic doesn't end there; the father and daughter dance follows suit. Embraced in an emotional embrace, they transcend time, exchanging whispers and heartfelt expressions. Teary-eyed and proud, the mother and son take to the floor, the music guiding their delicate movements. That was then followed by dinner being served, the cake being cut and some absolutely delightful toasts. The night ended in the light of sparklers giving way to the newlyweds walking out together surrounded by cheers of their loved ones. We are so excited about the future of the Hooker family and cannot wait to see what their adventure together holds.
