{Paula + Brannen @Ritz Carlton Beach Club}

Pretty, pink, romantic and sweet!  I love wedding day excitement and you could defiinitely feel it as the girls were getting ready:-)  While I was taking pictures of the dresses, Paula was in the other room and I happened to catch a shot of her peeking through the curtain to wave at her nieces.  Her dad walked in to see his gorgeous daughter and I love the reaction they all had together so sweet!  The ceremony was on the lawn at the Beach Club, girls in pink, guys in gray with pink ties.  Brannen, handsome as could be waiting for Paula to meet him at the end of the asile so they could say I do!  Their ring bearer carried a sign that said "Here Comes the Bride" at the beginning and then flipped it at the end to say "and they lived happily ever after".  Paula's bouquet had a special broach that was her grandmother's who couldn't be there.  The terrace was decorated with beautiful arrangements of hydragea's and roses with gold accents and crystals.  Her sash had a rhinestone Y in the middle for her new last name.  Paula's dad had some pretty amazing dance moves as everyone danced the afternoon away!  We loved capuring your special day congrats!!! xoxoxo

Anum + Eihab: Mehndi @Hyatt Regency Sarasota

Anum and Eihab's wedding celebration started out with the Mehndi party.  You could feel the excitement when Eihab and his family entered, followed by Anum and her family.  The girls prepared some amazing dances for everyone to enjoy.  There were even two little aspiring dancers there:-)  Pakistani weddings are one of my favorite types of weddings to capture, I love the goregous colorful attire, henna, delicious food, and dancing.  It's all about celebrating with friends and family.  Wait until you see their wedding the following day...stunning!  More sneak peeks to come tomorrow!

{Lorraine + Matthew @Powel Crosley Estate}

Lorri & Matt tied the knot at the beautiful Powel Crosley Estate in Sarasota.  You could feel the anticipation as Lorri walked down the staircase to meet her dad so he could walk her down the aisle. Deep blue with with champagne, pink, green, and orange, accents created the perfect color pallet for their wedding.  I love Lorri's blue heels that perfectly matched the girls dresses.  Their guestbook was a puzzle which I had not seen before so very unique. To commemorate all their guests who couldn't be there, Lorri had her grandmother's teapot filled with purple irises.  Little miss Sophie, so cute and happy as long as she had her cheerios!  It was an amazing day.  Congratulations Lorri and Matt!
