Courtney & Brent’s Wedding at The Bayview at Lake Winnipesaukee

Some weddings just feel different—like every single person in the room is radiating love and joy. Courtney & Brent’s wedding was exactly that. From their parents to their siblings to their incredible group of friends, the entire day was a nonstop celebration of the people who mean the most to them.

Their wedding was also the very first at The Bayview at Lake Winnipesaukee, a brand-new venue perched at the top of a mountain with the most breathtaking views of the lake. With its sweeping scenery and peaceful setting, it was the perfect place for Courtney & Brent to begin this next chapter together.

A Day Filled with Meaningful Moments

Surrounded by their closest family and friends, they exchanged vows—but before that, they chose to share a private vow exchange during their first look. It was such an intimate, heartfelt moment, giving them time to soak it all in together before the whirlwind of the day really began.

And speaking of first looks, Courtney and her dad’s first look was one for the books. It was emotional, funny, and full of the kind of love that had all of us tearing up while laughing at the same time.

But what truly made this wedding stand out were all the thoughtful, personal details they wove into the day.

Thoughtful DIY Touches That Made Their Wedding Unique

Courtney & Brent poured so much love and creativity into their wedding, and it showed in every single detail.

At cocktail hour, guests were invited to solve an oversized Sip & Solve crossword puzzle—a fun, interactive touch that had everyone gathered around, laughing and guessing together.

Their seating chart wasn’t just beautiful—it was handmade. Courtney & Brent built it themselves, and during the reception, it was filled with jars of homemade blueberry mint jam that they had picked and canned together. It was the kind of meaningful, personal touch that made the day feel even more special—something guests could take home and enjoy long after the last song played.

An Unforgettable Reception (Complete with Late-Night McDonald’s!)

These two are so deeply loved, and you could feel it in every moment of the day. Their reception? A full-blown dance party, the kind where the energy never dips and the dance floor stays packed all night long. Things got wild (in the best way), and just when we thought the night couldn’t get any better, there was a late-night McDonald’s delivery (Brent’s favorite!).

And then, as if the universe was adding its own dramatic flourish to the day, the night ended with an absolute downpour—one of those cinematic, all-consuming rainstorms that felt almost symbolic. The kind of rain you dance in, laugh in, and remember forever.

Courtney & Brent’s wedding was one of those days that reminds you exactly why weddings are so special—not just for the couple, but for everyone who gets to witness and be part of it. It was personal, emotional, so much fun, and truly a perfect reflection of who they are.
