How awesome is this!? Not one, but two of our weddings have been featured by the Daytona Beach News Journal! A third one was mentioned, but didn't have photos in the article.
This stunning photo of Beth made the cover! Her wedding was at the amazing Shores Resort and Spa in Daytona Beach. You can see more of her beautiful beach wedding on our blog.
The second wedding featured is of Tracie and Scott. They were an awesome couple to work with and they did some really unique things for their wedding like a pedicab parade. The photos from this destination wedding in Key West can be found here.
With so many awesome photos, here is part 2! And here is Part 1 if you missed it
Beth is amazingly hands on. Check out these table numbers and menus that she did!
This is a photo from their e-session. I've seen this done before for the guest book and it I think it's a great idea!
Let the party get started!
So I'm taking a moment to talk to Vern with Pyramid DJs and next thing I know the groom is on the floor showing his moves. He's a gymnast and he definitely has some moves!
I want to know who Beth and Kyle's weather agent is, so I can call them and ask for the weather I need. A few months ago we did their engagement session and there had been a week of rain. We scheduled a shoot and the rain held off long enough for us to make some great photos, and then it came along so we made some more great photos with a red umbrella. They had the same luck, or should we call it skill at this point, on their wedding day!
As 6:30 p.m. started to roll around some ominous clouds could be seen in the distance. I was told at my house 30 minutes away it was pouring, but their wedding went off without barely more than a sprinkle. The weather held for us to make all of the formal portraits and then head out onto the beach to make a few more. Beth felt a drop of rain, so we decided to move the shoot inside.
Look at those clouds! Although the overcast sky always helps with the images.
I have not been to The Shores Resort and Spa since it was another hotel. They have done wonderful things with this place. It has some great character to it and is probably one of the best hotels in Volusia County and according to AAA it is the only 4 star rated hotel here!
Beth started out her day relaxing at the spa with a manicure and pedicure. That place was so relaxing that I was almost ready to go back to sleep.
Kara with KyleLynn Cosmetics did an awesome job with the hair and makeup. Apparently she's been doing makeup at weddings since she was 14!
I love mirrors and this elevator had 4 of them. Keeping myself out of the picture was definitely a challenge though.
So someone jumped in with us and let's just say she was a little goofy.
What a spectacular dress! The design was by Maggie Sottero and Beth found it at a shop in Atlanta. This dress looked gorgeous when it was hung up and Beth was like a princess when it was on! I just wish we had a little bit more time, because after she was ready it was time for the wedding to begin and I probably could of spent an hour shooting the intricate details of this dress. The corset back and all of the intricate bead work just made this dress amazing.
I have been looking forward to Beth and Kyle's engagement session. We have been talking on the phone for a couple months, but since they are from out of town we have not had a chance to meet.
For two weeks rain had been looming over Central Florida and we weren't sure if it was going to let up. Beth emailed me a couple days before. I told her the call was hers, but while she was in Florida, I still wanted to meet her. I said we should just go about like the e-session was going to happen and if it doesn't, then we could at least meet.
The thing about overcast skies is that they make colors just pop and New Smyrna Beach is colorful! The other thing about rain is that as people try to stay dry and as puddles form, fun pictures happen! Then there are red umbrellas, and I can go on... But the bride and groom always have the last call.
As I drove I was nervous when I saw some sprinkles on my windshield, but when I arrived at Beth's father's house everything was dry but a little overcast. Let's "do this!"
We finally wandered back to the house for a quick outfit change and to grab a couple umbrellas. The sky had been good to us all morning, but we didn't think the late morning was going to be so generous. Plus even if it didn't rain, you can't go wrong with a red umbrella!
These two were tons of fun and I am excited for their wedding in August!
