Gators in The Florida Keys

Amy and Tyler celebrated they nuptials at the Key Largo Bay Resort Marriott with a blue sky and fantastic sunset as their backdrop. Seriously, this was one of the prettiest days we've had this year. Check out the heavens above...

Speaking of spectacular skies, Amy's parents surprised the couple with a fire works show during their cocktail hour. I spend that night at a relative's house out in Key Largo and upon our return that night, she told us about her evening with her glass of wine and the fireworks from her back porch. I just smiled and showed her these:
These die hard Florida Gator fans added subtle touches of their Alma mater to their wedding with silver cuff links and a blue and orange garter belt. Not so subtle touches came later at the party when the ENTIRE guest list rocked out to the UF fight song.
Shells framed the path down the aisle during the ceremony and adorned the tables at the party. Simple Cala lilies filled vases and each guest received a stack of chocolate chip cookies and measuring spoons with ingredients written on them: "a pinch of patience", "a heap of love", "a dash of kindness", and "a spoonful of laughter".
Amy and Tyler looked so happy and relaxed on their big day. Their friends and family were all so funny. Let's just say that these are the type of people that get married on an island and invite a guest who embroiders the name of the bride on the back of his Speedo bikini. I'll spare you those pictures and instead share these that are prettier.

Neo Vertika

Michelle and Jeffrey were married in one of the most unique settings I've ever worked in. Located in the Miami River skyline, Neo Vertika is a vision of smooth concrete, glass and steel and has been called an urban masterpiece. The building's motto is "Dare to Dream Out Loud". Originally from South Florida, the couple now lives in Alabama and planned their entire wedding from long distance. Everything came together so beautifully--even the weather! The Miami night skyline looked spectacular and the full moon just put everything over the top.
