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!

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!

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!

This June 20, 2009 Wedding was not only featured on Vue Photography's blog, but also on Southern Weddings' blog. Everyone seemed to like the wonderfully personal touches that Natalie added to their big day.

I'll never forget taking the newlyweds to the beach with Genya & Wesleyann (Vue Photography)... I ended up hoping Natalie didn't slip down the hill to get the BEST lake picture ever! *great idea, Genya!*

To all you locals, or those who are looking to have your wedding on the Emerald Coast, check out Emerald Coast Brides Magazine to read more!

Natalie created such a classy and elegant feel for her wedding, by choosing the right dress and perfect head/hair-pieces.

The guys got a chance to goof around at the Leaping Frog Wine/Beer Bar before the wedding started.

These handsome groomsmen stayed nice and cool in their khaki, seersucker suits.

Cue the makeup artist!!... It was a hot day, ladies!

Nouveau Flowers created this gorgeous cross that hung high above the bride and groom as Harry married them. The family was sweet enough to leave the cross in the chapel for the Fathers Day service that was to follow in the morning. The roses were such a pretty addition to the ceremony.

You can just see the excitement and love in Natalie's eyes as she stood with the Meeting House doors opened, catching her groom's eyes...

Genya (Vue Photography) comes up with the cutest ideas for wedding parties who are ready to be silly!

... Can't leave the guys out!

We'll never forget the adorable place-settings! They made them out of cork to tie in their amazing honeymoon to The Napa Valley in California!

Another fabulous idea was to have burlap squares for everyone to write sweet notes of encouragement, that would later become a really personalized quilt for Natalie and Kevin.

Thankfully, the sit-down dinner was fully equipped with menues that doubled as fans for the guests. This was brilliant as the head table waited to be served some delicious Townsend Catering!

I'll never forget, on the way back from beach pictures, Genya told Wesleyann that she had always wanted to take this fabulous shot down by the lily pads!... so of course Natalie and Kevin took on the challenge of walking precariously down a kill to get to the lakeside. The picture was well worth it!

Natalie and Kevin headed back to their reception and danced the night away! The lighting was perfect, and although there were some much-needed air conditioning breaks to the Meeting House, it only proved just how much fun this group had!

After Vue posted their pictures, our wedding was featured on the popular Southern Weddings Blog! Be sure to check it out!

We all remember this awesome dancing duo and what a wonderful surprise/treat it was to watch Jennifer and Mr. Sowski break it down in every style imaginable!... and to think it all started with Heartland's "I Loved Her First" (the entire song!, so imagine the surprise when we thought they were done?!).

A gorgeous shot inside of Far Niente (the house they rented for the wedding week). Her eyes are gorgeous!

We loved the colors, especially how the Patron bottle matched the Hydrangea in Jen's bouquet.

This should give you a great indication of the bride and groom's dancing shoes! They were ready to get to the reception!

Here are some of our favorite skills by Jen and her father on the dance floor! (In case you didn't catch them all on the video)

Even the little ones got into the dancing! From swing-dancing, to ballroom, to choreographed, to hip-hop... this wedding had it all!

A wonderful moment captured by Vue Photography! We love Rhonda's (Confections on the Coast) colorfun cake!

The evening lighting (by Nouveau) really tends to bring out the beauty in Jennifer and Kenneth. They continued to dance in the moonlight, under the stars.

We couldn't be prouder!!! Our amazing vendors and venues have spoken for themselves! We are grateful to be in the Spring 2010 issue of the National Knot Magazine! Kelley Gerken & Jon Sunkin's light-hearted and nautical wedding was one of only two real weddings featured in The Knot this Spring.

Here is the fine-looking spread that featured this super fun & sweet couple. Yes, the couple who had their wedding party show us their personalized underlings on the beach! Please refer to our initial post from their March 2009 wedding. I laughed out loud when I saw that the picture of their place cards made The Knot... those buggers were impossible to keep standing in those turquoise rocks! It was a really wonderful wedding that certainly deserved to be featured.
