MELBOURNE, FL

Katie and Pete got married at Bicentennial Beach on Indian Harbor Beach right before sunset. She wore Melissa Sweet, he rocked an untucked shirt and skinny black tie. There were ivory orchids in her hair and pink bridesmaids by her side. The ocean, golden in the sun, stretched out for miles behind them. Piles of shoes lined the site where guests shed their formalities to prepare for the intimate exchange of vows. During the ceremony, the sun transformed the sky from bluebird blue to elegant gold as it dipped under the horizon.

To say that we were inspired would be a huge understatement. How could we not be inspired while surrounded by such natural beauty and love? To say that we were spoiled rotten may be a better description.

Pete & Kate, thank you for sharing this day with us. Thank you for trusting in our vision. Thank you for entrusting the biggest day of your lives to us. Thank you for allowing us a glimpse into the easygoing, everlasting love you have for each other. Your happy, light-as-air, always smiling personas will stay etched in our minds forever and we will always be better photographers and people for having known you both! Have a wonderful first Christmas as man and wife!

Steve and Bonnie eloped in St. Lucia last week and had a gorgeous brunch reception at the Celebration Hotel yesterday followed by an after party at Firkin and Kegler's. The reception was breathtakingly beautiful and I cannot wait to finish the rest of the images to show everyone. Until then, enjoy these Featured Five

Tony and Lynn had an extremely romantic wedding last night in Tallahassee and we were honored to be a part of it. We had gotten the chance to meet Tony earlier this year when we shot promotional pictures for his band. It is a huge understatement for us to say that we were excited to be a part the biggest day of his life. We've got many more beautiful images to come but for now, enjoy our Featured Five.

Oh hello! This is the last thing you see before I shoot you. ;)

When Brittany's mom called me to talk about the photography for her daughters wedding, she opened with something like, "You might not remember me but..." Her family is from my home town and, small world, I used to play with her daughter and son when we were toddlers. But that's not where my trip down memory lane ended. Brittany and her fiance husband are very active in a church that I worked at for a while in high school and I when I got to the wedding I realized that I knew about 50% of the wedding party. Oh, but it's not over, both my high school cheerleading coach and one of my fellow squad members were also in attendance, not to mention various other familiar faces. Instead of hiding in "photographer guy" anonymity, poor Nate had to put up with me introducing him to people from my past all night long.

My personal memories seemed to set the tone for a wedding flowing with familiarity. From the wedding location in a park encircled by gorgeous homes, to the practice dance the bride snuck away to rehearse with her dad (yeah, we saw you!), to the old home videos the bridesmaids were watching of the groom and their friends, this wedding was warm with love and family. There was no detail untouched by someone who loved the bride and groom and you could just feel the love enveloping everyone at this beautiful event.

Thanks Brittany, Shea, and family for allowing us the honor of documenting your day.
