It could NOT have been a more perfect day for an eastern North Carolina wedding! Cortney and Justin’s lovely Kentucky Derby-themed wedding was magic. The colors were beautiful, the weather was fantastic, the day was amazing! What a treat for us to get to be a part of it!

It was a wonderful way to start our 2014 wedding season, and it really felt exactly how we hope our weddings will feel — like we’re helping to make the day super special for two very important people, who also happen to be dear friends. By the time Cortney and Justin waved their final farewell we wanted to shout after them, “We’ll miss you!”

Here’s a snapshot of some of our favorite imagery from the day. Be sure to check out the name of the vendors involved in making this day so perfect, listed at the bottom of this post!
