We absolutely loved getting to work with Courtney and Gavin for their wedding on Westport Island. It was our first time there but certainly won’t be our last time. Thanks to their wedding we’ve actually started the process of looking at homes out on the island. And if you’re looking for a spot for a wedding, it couldn’t be better there! Beautiful views from pretty much everywhere and we got quite the view of the stars as we were headed back home at the end of the night.
The VRBO the couple rented for their day went above and beyond their expectations! With a gorgeous lawn set up perfectly for a ceremony and tent, Courtney and Gavin got to sit back and relax with family and friends while everything came together for their day. And with David tending the fire pit, they had a warm and cozy place for everyone to head to when the night cooled off.
The day started with Gavin and his friends getting ready in the suite above the garage with the balcony overlooking the ocean views. Everyone had a fun time getting into the suits while Gavin’s dad helped all the guys get their ties on and Rachel, Gavin’s groomslady, was on hand to help organize a toast before heading out to the ceremony.
While Gavin and his attendants were upstairs, just downstairs Courtney and all her girls were prepping for the day in the most beautifully lit breakfast nook turned beauty salon. It’s one of those rooms you want to live in and was the perfect lighting for Dana to work his makeup magic on the ladies. They were camera ready and looking spot on throughout the entire day and well into the night.
So many traditions were mixed into the day – from a vodka shot during the ceremony. Yes you read that right! Ceremony shots! Of course after the ceremony it was time to party – you can see they already started during the family formals. Check out the portrait of the couple with Gavin’s grandmother and you’ll catch the beer transport system the groomsmen used to get drinks to each other with photos happening in the middle.
During the reception, since their wedding fell on Rosh Hashanah, Gavin’s uncle gave a toast while Gavin and Courtney broke bread and shared it with everyone in attendance. They even kicked off the dancing for the evening with with Hora – which is always a good time!
