a rainy day wedding…. carillon weddings at carillon beach

August 31, 2010 – 5:24 pm

brooke & keith planned a gorgeous wedding at carillon beach. nature threw a little wrench in their plans so instead of a beach ceremony, they were wed in the beautiful meeting house. to make up for it, God gave them one of the most beautiful sunsets we’ve ever seen and *WOW* was it amazing! brooke, keith, and the rest of their friends and family didn’t let the rain get them down and dined and danced the night away. thanks to brooke & keith for choosing us to photograph their unforgettable day. thank you, as always, to all of the wonderful talent listed below who helped make this wedding so beautiful.

jennifer & jake’s hot and steamy carillon beach wedding. . .

July 30, 2010 – 5:31 pm

if there is any way to prove staying power in a couple, let planning a wedding during the hottest part of the summer be the way. . .july 17th to be exact.  we thought we were going to get lucky with some clouds and then the clouds turned into a short late afternoon shower.  which you’d think would lead a bride to intense panic.  however, not the case with jennifer.  she was nothing but happy to simply be marrying jake.  everyone that was attending the wedding was an absolute blast!  from the beginning of the reception to the very end the dance floor remained full of energy and some interesting moves i’ve never seen before!  we had such a fun time with everybody there and can’t wait for jennifer and jake to come back to fl!

nicki & mike — eden gardens state park wedding

June 29, 2010 – 3:44 pm

this was the 1st wedding we have had the pleasure of working with shelby peaden, and hopefully there will be many more to come! the event was flawless, seamless, and visually stunning. we are so thankful that shelby sent us this wonderful couple to us as we totally fell in love with them!  upon first meeting nicki, we quickly learned that she was one of the most laid back people that we had ever met (which meant she was an extremely easy-going bride).  she had her very own room to get ready, while the rest of her bridal party was on the floor above, just to insure that she would remain as calm and collected as possible.  then we met mike.  he is such a goofball and a true kid at heart.  it’s no wonder they make such a great duo and decided to become a lifelong team.  the ceremony was (luckily) situated under the shade of an elderly moss-draped live oak and the earthy, anthropologie-inspired reception was down by the tucker bayou lending the pavilion as the dance floor.  since the entire anthropologie line is a huge favorite of ours here at the studio, this wedding has turned out to be one of our most adored of all time!  we had such a ball with nicki, mike and all of their guests in the funbooth that the scorching heat seemed bearable for the duration of the night.  and as the pastor at the ceremony said, ” if your love can remain as hot as this day in june then you’re sure to have a successful marriage”.  be sure to check out the photo-booth slideshow at the bottom which includes all of the wackiness*! thank you, nicki & mike, for choosing us as your photgraphers. it was an honor and we can’t wait to see you again! ~lindsey, ryan & the pure7 crew
