The Big Picture

This was our last wedding before a (much needed) couple month break while the Earth deals with the whole scorching summer season. We really wanted to pull out all the stops for this wedding as it had all the elements- great young couple, beach wedding at the Clearwater Hilton and to put a great exclamation point on what has been one of our best seasons. I must say that Joanie at the Hilton was fantastic to work with and her attention to detail was not missed. This is certainly a gem of a venue!

Devin and Dana must be the coolest couple ever as so much of their day changed due to weather and other factors. They seemed as if all they cared about was being married at the end of the day and guess what…..they were! While the beach ceremony was moved inside to a ballroom, we did get to spend about 20 minutes on the beautiful (oil free) Clearwater Beach and at sunset. That is not something we often get to do so I really wanted to take advantage of it. Even got to see a rainbow pop up briefly over the hotel.

Congrats Devin and Dana- We love you both!

Enjoy

This was our first event at Traditions in Port St. Lucie and we were not disappointed. We knew this happy couple well from the awesome engagement shoot last December so we knew it would be a carefree day. Seemed like the entire town of Okeechobee made it to the event so the sense of community was strong to say the least.

Cannot say enough about how everyone came together to make this special for the bride and groom. Pretty sure they said the day was six years in the making which made it that much more fun to document. It did get a bit hot for the ceremony but it was an overall amazing day. Can’t really complain about a warm day in May!

Very happy to share this collection of images for the blog post. Cannot wait for everyone to the rest later this week.

Enjoy!

So glad this couple found us! We felt so at home with Katie, John and everyone else involved. It was an amazing event.

We had just booked it a few weeks before so really had no idea until we talked during the consultation. When I saw her itinerary was done in military time I knew this was gonna be well planned and it was indeed.

The ceremony was at the Baughman Center and the reception was at Sweetwater Branch Inn. I lost track a long time ago with how many events we have done as both locations but they never let us down. Love them both every time.

Enjoy!!

For us, this was a wedding for the ages. It had all the elements that make for great photojournalism- amazing couple and families, gorgeous light, tons of emotions and spontaneous moments, cozy country church, classy reception hall and once again….an awesome couple.

This is a large post to show all the great moments we were able to capture. Felt like kid in a candy store all day catching moments all around. We knew after the great engagement session we had that this was going to be great but you can never count on so many things coming together.

For me this is a great start for our wedding season and I cannot wait till the next event……oh that starts in about 12 hours. Better shut up now.

Enjoy!!
