It rained almost the entire week before Scarlet and Scott’s wedding. The day of the wedding, the rain stopped and a cool breeze ran across the beach just in time for the ceremony. The view from the penthouse reception was spectacular.
The light was really nice for their ceremony.
Scarlet’s dress was beautiful. It was very soft and natural. So fitting for her personality.
This is the view from the Penthouse at Carillon. You can see the lake, all of the great cottages, then the gulf!
This will definitely be a day for Jennifer and JH to remember! I had THE HARDEST time picking images to blog today. Jen and JH met years ago at Outback Steakhouse where she wrote down her telephone number on the back of the check. JH has kept the little piece of paper for all of these years, it was floating around all day at the wedding.
Here is Jennifer and her sister, just after getting into her dress and seeing herself for the first time in the mirror
This is JH, handsome, huh? Well, he is just as sweet inside too.
There were so many great moments during the ceremony, they were both very emotional.
Jen’s grandfather made this exit sign. The ring bearer is JH’s nephew, don’t you love the tongue?
Friends were a huge part of the day for Jen and JH. In fact they changed their date once because some of their closest friends couldn’t make it on the original date.
BEST FISH TACOS EVER!
These next two shots are of the first dance. Jen surprised JH with his favorite song by Lifehouse, You’re All I Want.
Isn’t she beautiful!
After the reception Jen grabbed us and her bridesmaids and headed to the resort pool.
This is such a sweet love story. Kim and Jason met about 7 months ago,they are both activate duty in our military. Thank you guys! Jason has been in Iraq for the last few months, so need less to say they were so into each other the day of the wedding. I do need to mention the little blond baby in some of the pictures is Jason’s niece, she was so cute, all day.
This is Jason
Here’s Kim
This is Kim’s brother who walked her down the isle.
The light was nice, mmm.
Here is Paul hand holding at 1.4, probably 1/80 of a second and 6400 iso, for all of our photographer friends!
This is Anne and Tom, a lovely couple who had a very nice wedding at Carillon Beach.
There were so many beautiful children at this wedding!
Anne’s was very pretty. She was so relaxed before the wedding I was able to shoot a few bridals of her.
THIS is a fabulous capture! These are the two flower girls sitting at the feet of Anne and Tom during the ceremony. I couldn’t believe it when I saw that Paul grabbed this. There is nothing like documenting real life, as it happens!
Here is a shot of Anne dancing with her father and Tom dancing with his mother.
Anne’s father again, he was so funny! I don’t know if he is Italian or not, probably not, but when I see this image I hear in my head “leave the gun, take the canoli”
Do you see how Tom is looking at Anne, he loves her so much.
Robin and Gary with about 40 of their friends and family headed to Mexico for a relaxing weekend filled with sun and great food! Many family and guests came from NJ, NY and as far as Czech Republic. Here are a few images to get you into the “Tulum zone”
These guys were everywhere.
These next two shots are of the Mayan Ruins
The day before the wedding, everyone had a blast on a catamaran where we went snorkeling. Some of the guests saw a sea turtle
Here are Robin and Gary arriving to their rehearsal dinner
This is Ollie, Gary’s nephew from Czech Republic. He was so proper and so entertaining
Now we start “the day”
I have to point out that Robin made her own dress! Isn’t she beautiful? I couldn’t believe it when she told me. Oh and it merits mentioning that Gary had his coat custom made, they both looked like a million dollars.
This was fun…. Mayan Coffee!
This next shot is of their first dance. The dance floor was especially important. Gary and Robin met at a club where there was a disco dance floor. They arranged to have the same dance floor at their wedding.
We are busy this year with super fun creative sessions. Here are a couple from a session shot on June 24th
June 26th – These two sisters were a blast.
June 28th – love those curls!
Meet Dave and his three beautiful daughters, and Lisa his amazing bride! They were married at Watercolor Inn on the beach and enjoyed an intimate dinner in the Wine Room at Fish out of Water. Very, very nice.
We are so excited that two of our recent weddings were featured on Southern Weddings & Style Magazine blog! Our November 2007 couple Brittany and Wilson was featured earlier this month, and our May 3rd, 2008 couple Julie and Andy was featured this week in a two part series that also includes an interview of Paul. Here is part one, and then part two.
JH, you look adorable (and happy), as usual! We beyond regret that we were not able to make it to what appeared to be a perfect day in all respects.
The blurry dance shot half way down has to be my (David) favorite… seriously awesome composition.
Beautiful work.. yet again :0) I love the first shot of the girls on the balcony. Gorgeous color and clarity in all of your work.
