Courtney & Phillip Wedding, Seaside, Florida 5/12/07

All I can say about this wedding is WOW! From the decorations, to the setting, the food, the cake, the flowers, and of course, the wedding party! There were so many components involved and everything came together to beautifully. I can safely say this was the biggest bridal party in the smallest church i have ever photographed! The guests actually applauded when everyone had made it down the aisle! So much thought and planning went into planning this wedding at Seaside and it definitely showed in all the wonderful details. The reception was going to be held outdoors and the weather kept hinting at rain but no one wanted to think about that. It would have been a complete heartbreaking disaster. To me as a photographer, the weather was perfect since it was overcast and there was beautiful soft light everywherer. The bride was surprisingly calm and i think it was due to all the complements she kept recieving from friends and family. The ceremony had a string quartet and opera singers that resonated thoughout the cozy church. Meanwhile the caterers were busy cooking up the food in an outdoor kitchen they had created in the alleyway. There was a fairy tale forest with lights hanging thoughout the trees leading the guests from the church to the reception area. Candles were passed out to help light their way though the darkness. The reception took place in the town courtyard and was lit up by chandleleers hanging from the trees. The food was esquiset and was worthy of any top fine dining restaurant which was quite impressive considering the large number of guests that had to be served. Most of the groommen including the groomsman were rugby players so they were definitely into having a good time which kept the party going though the night.
