Marco Island Beach Wedding

Anjelica and Jonathan were married in one of the cutest intimate beach weddings I've had the pleasure to shoot. This was a couple wonderfully in love, who put so much effort into creating a fun and DIY atmosphere. Everyone had a blast!

The brides dress was so stunning, both on the hanger and truly magical once she put it on!

Attention to cute details such as this little bride to be cheesecake were everywhere. 

The bride walking down the aisle to meet her groom and get married under the arch they made themselves. The small guest count made it easy to keep the ceremony casual and sweet, even forgoing chairs so the guests could be closer to the ceremony. 

Married finally!

One of the more gorgeous bridal parties I've had the chance to photograph! Aren't they lovely?

1. We were lucky in being able to dodge the storms threatening us, but it made for some amazing skies. 

Simply Stunning Bride.

The couple held their casual and beach themed reception at the fabulous Mangos Bistro, which fit the overall feel of this intimate affair to a tee. 

Fun playing with rings utilizing the adorable decor. 

The seashell and coral designed cake was the perfect way to finish off this great event. 

And boy did they get each other good!!

All in all, this charming beach wedding on gorgeous Marco Island was a fantastic night, and a blast to have been a part of. 

Congratulations to the stunning newlyweds!!

Deanna and Kenny Tie The Knot In Beautiful Cape Coral, Florida

Deanna and Kenny were married on October 9th, at a gorgeous private estate here in sunny Southwest Florida. I was so excited to shoot this couple, and had an absolute blast, as did everyone in attendance.

The bride was simply stunning in her antique style gown from Lorettas Bridal,  with delicate floral and lace details.

The family worked so hard on putting together this lovely wedding with tons of DIY details. Assorted jars with cascades of wildflowers were utilized arranged on shabby-chic long wooden tables. The couple purchased the flowers wholesale and even did the arrangments themselves.

The natural and southern look of this wedding was continued in the floral details, with more wildflowers mixed with roses and wrapped in burlap, provided by SuEllen's Floral. 

The groom wore a grey suit which complimented the overall feel of the wedding perfectly.

This was such an emotional day for everyone, with free flowing tears of happiness all over the place.

The evening was finished with dancing under the stars and the strung lighting around the trees, to the sounds of Gorge Mendez, not to mention some homemade games for entertainment!

The cake was created by a friend of the family, Steve Reich, and once again added to the southern, natural charm of this event. 

 It was a truly a magical evening that this family is sure to never forget, and I was honored to have been a part of it!

Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Craig!
