On a sunny, unseasonably mild day in July among the
greens of Sand Creek Country Club, Crystalee and
Jordan celebrated their wedding day with honored
guests and family. To begin the day, the men of the
bridal party were able to knock out a round of golf
on Sand Creek's world class course. Meanwhile, the
ladies leisurely pampered themselves for the day
ahead indoors. Both parts of the bridal party were
able to separately enjoy delightful lunches before the
festivities began.
Preceding the ceremony, the couple snuck away from
the crowd to privately share their 'first look' along
the open-air walkway lined by rhythmic columns at
the entrance of the grand clubhouse. The ‘first look’

is when the couple reserves a few minutes of pause
before the ceremony to meet in a solitary place and see
one another for the first time dressed in their wedding
finery. Matt Scott and Jaymi Marling of Matt & Jaymi
Photography agree that the 'first look' approach allows
the bride and groom a treasured personal moment
together, hidden from everyone else’s eyes, before they
enter the wedding ceremony. Without the eyes of the
audience, the couple usually feels more comfortable
to respond more naturally to seeing each other and
can actually let out a natural expression, talk to one
another, and move forward into the ceremony feeling
connected. There was also enough time, before the
ceremony to explore all the gorgeous locations that
Sand Creek has to offer.
