Courtney and Clayton's Backyard Garden Wedding | Memphis Wedding Photographer
There was something truly magical about Courtney and Clayton’s summer garden wedding, especially since it took place at Clayton’s parent’s home in East Memphis. The walls of their home held so many memories- photos on the walls, every inch of it felt so elegant but so comfortable. Although the home was in the heart of East Memphis, it was nestled among lush greenery and trees in every direction made it feel so private and as if when you arrived you had stepped into another world. We knew we wanted to document some of their day with film because it just fit the vibe so well.
Courtney got ready with her bridesmaids upstairs, with a perfect view overlooking the ceremony and reception area.
Courtney and Clayton met at the garden gate for their first look- and to read private vows to each other before their ceremony. It was such a sweet, intimate moment that gave them a few moments together before all their guests arrived.
As the evening unfolded, guests headed to the tented reception where long tables were lined with vintage, mix match table settings, delicate linens, and gorgeous cascading floral arrangements with bits of blue welcomed them for a candlelit dinner under twinkling string lights. It was a perfect blend of elegance and personal charm and so much intention into every detail. Heartfelt conversations between loved ones, laughter, and soft music filled the air, creating an atmosphere of warmth and love to welcome the couple as they entered their reception for their first dance together.
As the night drew to a close and everyone headed to the getaway car to see Courtney and Clayton off, nobody could pass up an impromptu jump into the pool that triggered guest after guest to jump in as well. It was a perfect ending to such an incredible wedding day!
