If you've ever filed for a marriage license, gotten a passport, or paid a traffic ticket in person, it's pretty likely that you've seen a couple dressed for the happiest day of their lives. That's range, baby, Crystale + Clayton chose to have a small, intimate courthouse ceremony with their families before flying to Italy for a private ceremony in the Dolomites (we aren't jealous, why would you ask us that?).


We had them meet us on the top floor of the parking garage and had the whole level to ourselves. The sun, dipping in and out from behind the clouds gave us the best combo of direct and diffused lighting, which was perfect. We all learned how to open a bottle of champagne and we watched the two of them float around in love.



We had a few minutes before family was scheduled to arrive, so we rushed downstairs and joined a few other couples on the steps of the courthouse who had the same idea.

We made our way to the lobby as family started to arrive.
