06 Dec christina + cory: joined. a memphis savannah woods wedding.

Bubbles. Fishface. Mama and Papa Bear. Sarah. Ludo. Lovey. They don’t have one nickname. They have many. And each one means something different, and something special to them. They are true terms of endearment. Those who know them well enough to be included in the hidden meanings know how lucky they are. Because for Christina and Cory, there are not enough ways to say I love you.

Christina and Cory were married on a beautiful autumn day, and their wedding was full of as many special details and hidden meanings as is their relationship. They stood in front of each other, and in front of friends and family, read vows that they had written from their hearts. And in that moment, they were the only two people in the world. Between tears and laughter, they knew they had finally found the right words. The right words for their love. And they expressed it every way they knew how.

The day began at Savannah Woods with a gorgeous gown and a bright pair of purple heels. There’s nothing I love more than colorful shoes with a white wedding dress!

Ed was hanging out with the guys while I tended to the girls. He snapped this photo right before Cory and Christina exchanged gifts and letters.

Christina and Cory chose to see each other before the ceremony, and their First Look was filled with tenderness and laughter. Christina surprised Cory with a special key to my heart boutonniere.

The grounds were perfect for wedding portraits!

Christina, you made such a lovely bride!

Yeah. That look right there.

Cory looked rather dashing himself.

Love the attitude from these girls (and the man of honor, of course)!

Beautiful details…

I have to say, the guys pulled out the attitude as well!

I have a soft spot for flower girls! Photo of Cory on the left is Ed’s.

The old plantation was decked out with tons of special touches for the ceremony.

You can just see the love on Cory’s face as he prepares to deliver his vows.

Married!

A few more portraits right before sunset.

Christina put a lot of thought into her wedding details, and most of them she made herself.

The First Dance…

Saying goodnight under a shower of bubbles.
