{Amanda + Russ @Hilton Clearwater Beach}

Beach chic, with rhinestone and Tiffany blue accents was Amanda and Russ' wedding style.  The joy of their lives, Addison, is their little girl who just turned 2!  Addy's dress was a super cute little mini version of Amanda's beautiful gown and I love Amanda's Tiffany blue sparkly shoes.   It was SO windy and even a little bit chilly (for Florida anyway:-) but you can't beat the beautiful sunset.  Their friends and family traveled from all over for their destination wedding you can tell this was the offical celebration but they have been a family for a long time.  Congrats!!!! xoxoxox

{Valerie + Ryan @Rusty Pelican}

It was a beautiful November morning for Valerie and Ryan’s seaside style wedding.  The festivities began on the top floor of the Westin.  It’s always so energizing to feel the excitement building as the girls are getting ready and making sure the bride has everything she needs to look stunning Valerie definitely did!  Ryan was so nervous as he anxiously waited for Valerie to step out of the limo and to meet him at the end of the aisle.  I’m usually right by the groom, trying to capture his reaction without being to obviousJ  As Valerie was escorted by her dad, you could feel the love radiating off of Ryan as a tear slipped down his cheek.  It still gets me every time, and I just can’t stop smiling thinking about it.  White orchid cascading center pieces, starfish, and aqua linens accented the room.  Their cake topper was 2 adirondack chairs on top of a brown sugary sea shell cake.  Here’s some of their story and sweet moments.  Congrats!!! xoxoxoxo

{Linda + Troy @Eastlake Woodlands}

Linda and Troy's wedding had some of the most emotional and sweetest moments we've seen.  Linda seriously looked like a princess!  They had special rings made for Linda, her engagement ring plus 4 seperate rings that surrounded her engagement ring each of the 4 seperate rings for their 4 children.  Troy's father, "Muzz", was very special to him, he wasn't able to be with them physically but was definitely there in spirit.  At the ceremony they had an empty chair with butterfles in honor of him and they also had a balloon that Linda, Troy, and Troy's mother released during the ceremony.  Linda and Troy met while Linda was on vacation with her daughter.  The way they met was because Troy sent Linda and her daughter over Jello shots!  So, it was only fitting that Linda's daughter toasted them with Jelllo shots!!  Troy gave the most amazing heart felt speech in honor of Linda, his family, and his children.  The reception decor was candle lit with white florals and gorgeous textured linens.  They had a roulette of cupcakes in lots of different flavors and all their favorite candies for their friends to enjoy.  Everything was so sweet and special, it was definitely an honor to capture all these special memories for them!  Congrats you guys!! xoxoxo
