Courtney & Ben are married! /// St. Simons Island Wedding Photographer

When you meet Courtney and Ben, you feel like you have known them forever. Courtney has a way of greeting every person she runs across as if they are the most important person in her world, with a sincere smile and a big hug. With their natural Southern hospitality, it's no wonder that Courtney and Ben had almost 500 people attend their small town Georgia wedding. Almost every pew was filled in the congregation of First Baptist Church Brunswick, and all their guests enjoyed shrimp and grits and fried fish at a favorite local hang out, Skipper's Fish Camp, for a laid back casual reception. And just warning, as you scroll down, they had a scary wedding crasher... a real alligator lurking below the docks!

One of my favorite parts of their reception was when Courtney, who has grown up competing in dance competitions, and her bridesmaids, all shook their booty to a choreographed dance number to "All the single ladies... all the single ladies... put your hands up...." and performed for Ben before the boquet toss!!

Congrats Courtney and Ben!!
