“You know you’re in love when you can’t fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.” ― Dr. Seuss

Jenn & Cory were married at Horseshoe Bay Resort on the most perfect day overlooking breathtaking views, but the real magic happened on the faces of two people who are better together than they ever could be apart and make the people around them better and happier with their love. Oh…and the dance floor…there was definitely magic on the dance floor!!

A Sunny Day in Horseshoe Bay

When you see their contagious smiles, you will know what I’m talking about. These two planned a stunning wedding, but it was obvious that celebrating with the ones they love was most important. In every photo, you see Jennifer laughing, chatting, or hugging her friends and family with such sincerity. And Cory is the same way. With his crew of five guys around him, there was never a dull moment. The whole wedding party was a blast to be with – photographing their personalities came easy, and I found that this naturally happy group really didn’t need much posing help.

The ladies got ready on a glorious sunny morning. The weather was absolutely perfect, and we all had fun walking around the grounds of the resort, checking out the scenery, and soaking in the sunshine before the ceremony.

Their sunny day was a great indication of how the rest of their wedding day would go. When Cory saw Jennifer walk through the beautiful shade trees and down the aisle to meet him, his entire face lit up – and not just because of the sun. This was their moment! And oh, was it amazing! Jennifer held a gorgeous bouquet of crimson and ivory flowers, but even that paled in comparison to the sparkle in her eyes as she kissed her husband for the first time. Here a peek at their big day:
