Matt and Courtney. I have been waiting and waiting for their Smog Shoppe wedding. A little backstory…
So Matt and Court went from being a blog reader and a blog reader’s girlfriend, both of whom I had never met, to becoming dear, dear friends. All in about a year’s time! I blogged about a workshop I would be speaking at up in Santa Barbara, so he signed up and we met there. Afterwards, he went with me and my friend Josh (who was heading up the workshop) to, shocker, Chick-fil-a :) We immediately hit it off. He wrote me in no time saying he wanted to grab two spots for my 2010 RPTE to Thailand and Cambodia — one for him and the other for his girlfriend. A short while after, he asked me about wedding dates — as he had gotten engaged! Finally, RPTE 2010 came and that’s where I became friends with Courtney. Court is amazing. She’s all kinds of sarcasm — which is something I was blessed/cursed with (depending on who is around) from a young age. There is no joke too far for Court — and I’m the exact same way. Our time in SE Asia was amazing — and it led to Courtney and Matt both becoming two incredibly dear friends of ours.
Now I have to thank Heather from LVL Events for absolutely taking care of business. Matt and Court are my kind of people — super relaxed and laid back — so I knew they would choose an amazing planner. And they did. Heather, you’re awesome ;)











La Partie Events got Matt and Courtney some incredibly beautiful flowers!





A gift and letter from Matt moments before the ceremony.




Matt is the first groom I know of to Instagram a photo of his bride as she walked down the aisle. So freaking awesome :)

It was so cute watching Heather behind the scenes. As this photo shows, she loves watching her couples get married ;)

The Smog Shoppe makes for such a cool wedding venue!




Having random jealous thoughts flying through my head as Mike shoots with his 200mm f/2 is totally normal, right? :P








Aaaaand, Lindsay and I couldn’t stop talking about how freaking adorable Court’s cocktail dress was…




















My seat :)

Matt and Court had some of the best food I’ve ever had (no less had at a wedding) thanks to Talmadge Lowe of Heirloom LA :)





Lindsay hasn’t shot a wedding with me for about a year now. But she said that she had to come out of “retirement” for this wedding — Matt and Courtney wanted her there badly but we just weren’t sure it would work. Well Lindsay said her first full day goodbye to Clive since he was born and it was incredible having her along :)




Matt and Courtney, Lindsay and I love you both a ton. We’re honored to have traveled the world with you, to have shot your wedding, and to call you both friends. Hope you love your images :)
p.s. Check back later this week for some of their images from Cambodia. Here’s a sneak peak…
