Wedding - St. Petersburg, FL: Amanda and Ryan

Amanda and Ryan have known each other since grade school as they both grew up in Polk county. It was great to be a part of their day as they finally became husband and wife. They had a beautiful day for their wedding on St. Pete beach at the Grand Plaza.

I absolutely loved Amanda's dress! It was the perfect mixture of fabrics, and she looked amazing in it.

Spring break was in full swing so the beach was busy, but I don't think they noticed. =)

Since we had such a gorgeous sunset, we snuck out of the reception for a few more photos.

Wedding - Sarasota, FL: Whitney and Chris

We met Whitney and Chris back in November when we shot their engagement session. They are such a genuinely nice couple and they welcomed us into their wedding day like one of the family. The wedding was held at Marie Selby Botanical Gardens in Sarasota, and the gardens and trees really make this a beautiful setting for a wedding. We were so happy that the crazy rain from the previous two days had blown through, and we were left with a gorgeous sunny day. Whitney got ready in the mansion house and the lighting was amazing.

Whitney had a gorgeous group of girls by her side all day.



And the guys.



Whitney and Chris chose to see each other before the ceremony to take advantage of the daylight since their ceremony was close to sunset.













Whitney and her bridesmaids put a lot of thought and time into the details of the wedding. Here are a few of the many details.
