The lovely Sheppard Estate

I've been traveling since mid April and now have an enormous amount of photos to sift through from my trip out West. I will share them as soon as I get myself organized and pick out the best of the thousand photos I took of my son, Finn. Finn with waterfall, Finn with mountain, Finn in snow, Finn with big rock,...

Just before we left, we photographed Kristy and Jared's wedding in Fort Lauderdale. I never wrote a blog entry about it being that we left just a few days afterwards. It was really beautiful and I want to share a few of the images from their day with you.
Some of the ceremony at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church.
Their party took place at the Sheppard Estate. Tucked away amongst palm trees, the historic home built in 1926 was the perfect venue for this couple and their guests as they danced (and danced, and danced) under white twinkly lights. Kristy named her tables after champagne bottles and gifted each guest a split with their place setting. I can honestly say that I have never seen that before. What a unique idea! The centerpieces were white cala lillies with tiny lights inside each one. As the sun was setting the tables all seemed to glow.

We had so much fun with the bridal party!

I actually met Kristy through one of her bridesmaids--Abby. Here she is with her stunning green eyes made even more spectacular by the pale green necklaces all the bridesmaids wore. Kristy wore her own little touch of green too.
Some of the newlyweds, of course.
Cute kids and the father-daughter dance. That gets me every time!
Congrats Mr. & Mrs. Lemole!
