Watch out for this cover! - Spring 2010 of Weddings Unveiled

The article!

... So sweet!! We love these shots! Please check out the other great articles in this Unveiled Magazine issue!

Josh is a lucky guy! We adore these model-esque photos by Genya & Wesleyann!

Elizabeth's playfulness was captured as her bridesmaids giggled on the balcony! We love the colors here!

Christina {Events by Nouveau Flowers} has a fabulous array of urns and vessels to creatively display flower arrangements! These are perfect to bring out the height in the Meeting House window!... So simple and beautiful!

The adorable flower girls & ring bearer were a dream! They stood up throughout the ceremony as they watched Elizabeth & Josh exchange their vows.

As the guests were finishing up their cocktail hour, we snook the newlyweds to their sunset pictures... you just cannot duplicate the breath-taking colors that a Florida sunset provides. Our beach walkovers are the perfect place to capture a sweet kiss.

Gorgeous picture.

When Josh & Elizabeth returned from the beach, they were able to see a transformed venue! Not only were their signature drinks served in mason jar glasses, but Rhonda's {Confections on the Coast} gorgeous cake was also out on display! The natural branches, along with elegant candlelight, was all the Meeting House needed to create Elizabeth's desired look!

The couple enjoyed their first dance to "I Will" as they were introduced as husband and wife.

We love that VUE Photography captured this intimate shot under the moon! Of course, the trees were lit for their lovely evening. The night was sweet and intimate... exactly what Elizabeth & Josh were hoping for!

We LOVE this picture! Look for it in our ad in The Knot!

Another fantastic engagement session shot!

Adorable! It's like they were school kids again! ((FUN FACT?! THEY MET ON THE SCHOOL BUS!))

Their shoot ended up out on the beach!... In anticipation of their beach wedding!

The engagement session was featured on one of our favorite wedding blogs! - Completely Unveiled by Weddings Unveiled Magazine!

The beautiful bride just needed a little assistance as she put on her gorgeous dress.

This picture is so special. I love seeing Kimberly help get her father dressed and ready to escort her down the aisle!

Christina's {Events by Nouveau Flowers} work is always flawless... especially in the Meeting House. We loved the strands of blue that draped in front of the window. The lettered wreaths also made a personalized touch on the doors.

Let the fun begin!...

Here comes the groom!

A breath-taking view as Kimberly walks arm-in-arm with her handsome father.

Some of my favorite pictures are those of the groom's first expressions as he sees his bride on their wedding day for the very first time.

So beautiful!

Just a little more comic relief was helpful as everyone was getting a bit choked up. Reverend Harry Houseman always seems to keep his ceremonies light and celebratory.

We loved the simple flowers chosen in the Meeting House by Christina {Events by Nouveau}. I even loved that although Kim chose to have the same bridesmaids dresses, they were all in a varying shade of blue. What a great look!

Officially signed the license! We all adore Harry.

YUM! The newlyweds wanted to start their reception off with Townsend Catering's "lollipop salmon skewers with scallions & dill cream sauce" as well as a refreshing glass of champagne with sorbet! The guys couldn't wait to dig in!

We loved Kimberly and Michael's details throughout their wedding! It brought out their playful personalities! As the fun was just beginning at the reception, our memorable moment #2 was about to occur...

... it POURED!! (maybe for only a few minutes, but enough to get everyone soaked!)

These two were in such good spirits that it really didn't matter! It was definitely something to laugh about!

When they returned to their reception after their "sunset pictures," the party went on! Once the sky cleared up again, they were ready to cut Rhonda's {Confections on the Coast} AMAZING cake!

Kimberly had to bring in Michael's love for fishing! The guys' boutonnieres were even adorned with fish hooks! There's just something about a fishy groom's cake... mmmm

Although the decor got a quick downpour, the rest of the night went smoothly and the night was gorgeous. Check out how fantastic the lighting was!

This was such a wonderful wedding... rain clouds and all! Although every bride prays for no rain on her wedding day, if it was going to rain, this was the perfect couple to make it a funny and an uncontrollable event.

... and of course, Completely Unveiled couldn't wait to blog about Kimberly & Michael's wedding either!

Watching the girls get ready with Madeline and her mother was priceless! We loved that Mrs. Kincaid was reading up on her duties as Mother of the Bride! Their close relationship was surely evident.

The beautiful dress and choo's!

The ladies at VUE Photography always know just how to capture the perfect shot of brilliant color! The bridesmaid's dresses were such an amazing shade of fuschia. I remember the excitement amongst the girls as they caught their first glimpse of their bouquets!

Our proud and handsome groom, Patrick! Even his dash of purple/fuschia looks sharp against his black jacket.

The organic decor in the Meeting House was flawlessly executed by Christina {Events by Nouveau Flowers}.

Renshaw, her absolutely adorable ring bearer was being so patient as he waiting for Madeline to arrive!

A breath-taking bride! As she takes her final steps towards the Meeting House, we get to see her graceful entrance.

We just LOVED the feel of this reception decor on the Village Green! Once the ceremony was over, it was time to be hit by all of the intense color! The canopy was really gorgeous over her phenomenal wedding cake! ((wait until you see the groom's cake!))

Here's a better view of her sugar-flowers that were created by Rhonda {Confections on the Coast} to match her bridal flowers! Now, the Skittles bag is not just a shot of the classic round candies... it's the groom's cake!! His immense love for candy and Skittles not only inspired the famous Skittles cake, but also the fabulous candy bar!

After Townsend's delicious station-style meal, the couple were swept away by Genya and Wesleyann {VUE Photography} for their sunset pictures. Everything is always perfectly timed so not to miss out on their reception, and definitely not their wedding day sunset!

We LOVE that this moment was captured in front of the Meeting House! The sun was down and the beautiful light trees were lighting up the Green. It was such a beautiful night!

It all started like a fairy tale...

All of the girls gathered in Far Far Away to get dressed and have some last-minute girl time!

mirror, mirror...

Christina Springfield {Events by Nouveau Flowers} certainly worked her magic again... The colors and bouquets were so gorgeous!

The bridesmaid dresses were such a gorgeous color! They were complimented by the fabulous bouquets! ((One of Nouveau's many talents!))

After Rev. Mike Young pronounces them, Dan takes his opportunity to kiss his beautiful bride!

Another gorgeous tablescape by Events by Nouveau Flowers.

Rae and Wesley Leytham snook Christina and Dan away for some sweet shots before the rain came...

A tented Village Green reception: Christina wanted Dan to have a real fish hook in his boutonniere to pay tribute to his love for fishing. The place cards hung from a vintage chandelier! The delicious fresh fruit by Townsend Catering, provided a refreshing snack station for their guests

Lanters hung romantically over-head as Christina and Dan shared their first dance.

Just beyond their reception on the Village Green, is our favorite fountain. This is such a great moment captured later in the evening...

The always-talented, Rhonda {Confections on the Coast}, amazed us with Christina's choice for a tops-turvy cake! The edible gold foil amazed us all! (especially the adorable flower girl!)

... A little girl time with taquila?

We adored the props that were throughout the reception party! As the night drew on, the guests really enjoyed them as they were dancing... it looks like Dan was really having fun with them.

The End.

As Lindsay, Nicole's maid of honor, helped her put the finishing touches on her gown, the excitement was rising amongst the girls.

With the girls getting ready at "Inn Between" with Mecheal Johnson (Paul Johnson Photography), the guys left their rental home early to capture a few group shots with Paul Johnson (Paul Johnson Photography).

The incredibly talented music from Bay Arts Duet (Violin/Viola) welcomed everyone into the Meeting House. Fran Bullock (Wedding Music Plus) and Elaine always come prepared to play a half-hour prelude as guests are arriving. Through a very helpful meeting with the bride, Fran is able to assist the bride in choosing the perfect music for her ceremony. Her goal is to "make the hairs on your arms stand up." The acoustics in the Meeting House certainly create a grand entrance for the bride as she walks down the aisle.

Nicole decided to decorate the beautifully simplistic, Meeting House with a wreath and sheer drapery. Christina (Events by Nouveau Flowers) always does such a good job at bringing out the beauty of the area, without taking away from the bride and the groom.

As her dad sweetly kissed Nicole, he handed her off to Ben's care. They brought in their own officiant, Judge Wood, who brought a personal touch to the ceremony.

The newly married couple couldn't hide their excitement and relief as they exited the Meeting House to the traditional "Wedding March."

The couple's sunset time with Paul & Mecheal Johnson (Paul Johnson Photography) is always the perfect opportunity for these romantic shots.

Nicole made such a beautiful bride!

Christina's team at Events by Nouveau created such a natural and elegant feel to Nicole and Ben's reception. The calm lighting from the cafe lights, along with the indoor-outdoor dining, made for a perfect night.

Their smiles say it all...

Although I love the bright, colorful bridal bouquets, there's nothing more classic than this all-white arrangement.

Lauren & Brian opted to meet up with Rae & Wesley (Rae Leytham Photography) before the wedding to capture some intimate day-of shots, before the chaos of the day swept by them. Rae Leytham was really able to catch a sneak peak at their excitement to see each other for the first time that day.

This is such a sweet picture! Her happiness just about jumps through this picture!

We all fell in love with her little 4-year old flower girl and 6-year old ring bearer. Christina (Events by Nouveau Flowers) and Lauren got creative and wanted her to throw petals from a sterling cup, and she got to wear a "princess" headpiece of matching white roses. Adorable!!

This picture is priceless!! I love that Rae Leytham was able to capture Lauren's dad's expression as he anxiously awaited to walk his daughter down the aisle. Fran Bullock (Wedding Music Plus) and the rest of her Bay Arts Quartet, provided an eloquent entrance for the beautiful bride.

The ring bearer's face is priceless! I love the expressions in Lauren's & Brian's faces. If you notice, there are small, white orchids that are cascading down from a peak in the front of the Meeting House... a gorgeous idea!

The table decor by Events by Nouveau was really amazing. It was so simple and crisp... what a statement!

Here's another amazing shot with Christina's (Events by Nouveau Flowers) drapery. It's amazing just how much lighting, linens and drapery really add to the feel of an event.

This is the BEST shot of Lauren and her father's dance, along with her adorable mini-attendants!

ahh... Florida Sunsets... we love you

One of my favorite moments during a wedding, is when we arrive back at the reception after the sunset pictures and the reception site now looks like this... romantically lit and with happy and full tummies (thanks to Townsend Catering!)

... Back to the Meeting House for cake cutting and toasts! ((an even better shot of the strung orchids)) We LOVE Rhonda's (Confections on the Coast) cake! - How can anyone choose just 3 flavors?!

As the bride and groom ride off into the night on the back of our golf cart, their guests all stopped to thank us for a wonderful evening... we agreed!

Here you can see the monogrammed tie that Tyler wore (another really sweet, personal touch in their day). He looks like one happy groom!

The boys let out their fun side to get rid of pre-wedding jitters!

Yet another beautiful Meeting House ceremony was set up by the talented crew from Events by Nouveau Flowers. Fran Bullock, owner of Wedding Music Plus, was ready to introduce the bride with her beautifully elegant string quartet. Events by Nouveau's boutonnière was another really eye-catching detail in their wedding.

Anna opted for a very simplistic design in the Meeting House. This was a wonderful idea, a the streamlined, clean venue is already quite beautiful as-is.

A really unique touch that Christina (Events by Nouveau) and Anna came up with was hanging antique windows in the trees. On one of these windows, they chose to write the table assignments because the guests would walk from the Meeting House to the Village Green through the hanging windows!

Once the newlyweds were introduced by their band from Gulf Talent Services, the couple shared their first dance to a special Cory Smith song.

Christina and her team worked hard to execute exactly what Anna envisioned for her reception on the Green. You can even catch a glimpse of one of our favorite appetizers from Townsend Catering! (Check out the delicious parmesan grits martini with fizzled shrimp, bacon & roasted corn!)

Yet another AMAZING cake designed by Rhonda (Confections on the Coast)! Her talent was exibited with the stylized butterflies and bright, vivid colors that matched her colors perfectly. It was certainly a focal point under her elegantly lit tent.

This was a really sweet moment that was captured by the wonderful ladies at Vue Photography (Genya & Wesleyann).

Genya (Vue Photography) became inspired by the beautiful windows and romantically lit trees. What a great way to end an amazing evening!
