Relaxed courthouse wedding photos | Amanda & Danny

Amanda & Danny’s relaxed courthouse wedding

I love a calm and cheerful courthouse wedding on a Friday afternoon! Amanda & Danny’s nuptials did not disappoint. With courthouse wedding ceremonies, I usually only hear from the couple with a couple weeks notice and this was no exception. But the great part about it was that I immediately felt like I’d known these two and their parents for a while. Anyone could see Danny and Amanda are perfect for one another, and the way they approached their wedding day made it clear that they know marriage is about their relationship first and foremost. And their relationship is built on a foundation of having fun together, so the couple of hours I had with them was filled with laughs and joy.

I loved that both their moms were there with loads of excitement.

And one of my other favorite things about courthouse wedding days is that you’re never the only couple there, and the joy is contagious. As each couple comes out married, everyone still waiting in line applauds and congratulates them.

One of the fun things about getting married at the courthouse is that other couples are there to cheer you on! courthouse wedding photos by Kivus & Camera courthouse wedding photos by Kivus & Camera

The newlyweds exiting to their round of applause:

And then some portraits around Nash Square Park and the warehouse district in downtown Raleigh.
