Shephard's Beach Resort, Clearwater, Florida, Destination wedding - Part TWO staring Kim and Andrew

And now we continue from PART ONE

After this amazing couple was married they wandered out onto the rocks to makes some awesome photos as the sun set. Unfortunately rainy Florida took a little bit away from actually seeing the sunset.


It may of been easy to get the veil in, but it just did not want to come out. The ironic thing is that, right after we did the final portrait shoot, it practically fell out. I think it just had a mind of it's own.


It was a pretty drive.


Getting the party started while traveling to the party!


I love reflections of the bride and groom.


Here are the awesome socks again.




I love to see what clients do with the photos we make during the e-session






Do these flowers look familiar? They did a great job of using them for dual purposes. They were the flowers that were up the aisle in PART ONE






The cake








The grand entrance! I have to say that the way Shephard's Beach Resort is designed, it makes for a great grand entrance. The steps lead right onto the dance floor.





The dance... Those pictures look kind of familiar






The food!














I'm taking a guess, but I think this was "Loveshack"






Getting close to the end with that last dance.




This wouldn't of been a problem, except it's a European car.


Happily ever after! Congrats again Kim and Andrew, you two are awesome together!

Destination Wedding Photojournalist, Clearwater, Florida - Part one staring Kim and Andrew

Kim and Andrew always have had the biggest smiles on their faces from the moment I met them at our e-session in November. I couldn't wait to shoot their wedding and it came quick. They are currently living in Rhode Island and planned it all from afar, but Kim used to live in Clearwater. They did a great job!



A crossword about Kim and Andrew



I tell all of my clients that my packages are unlimited. This means that I will be there from the moment they wake up, until they leave the wedding. If your bridesmaids make you breakfast, I want to be there. The muffins were delicious!







The Spa at Salon West in Largo Florida was so light and airy. I loved the atmosphere and all of the mirrors!



Sometimes when you are planning a wedding you forget the little things, like a gift for your soon to be husband. We ran into the local CVS to find something for him. Some of these cards could bring tears to your eyes or laughter to your face.








Chocolate chips were left over from baking the night before. They seemed like a cool opportunity for the rings.





This dress was actually Kim's matron of honor's. It's from David's Bridal and all I have to say is that I totally understand why she would want to wear it again. It's gorgeous.



It takes a team to get this on!



Jewelery on.







A first look is always fun and great for a couple that wants more portraits from the day.



Getting ready for the portraits.



We started out with portraits at the botanical gardens of the Gulf Coast Museum of Art at the Pinewood Cultural Park, in Largo.







and more portraits....









With a wedding in her near future, Kim still seemed to be pretty steady with the putter.


Matching socks are always fun!


This is such a great necklace.


The blue door on the church just jumped out at me.




Did I mention the necklace!



This church had some great light.

Taking a moment before the wedding.

A gorgeous bouquet from Rose Riot






The little things...
