this day was a big one for me. i have know niki and marcus for what seems like forever now. we all used to work out at disney together. yep in my past life i worked for the mouse.

since they are big fans of the water (if you didn’t see the surprise proposal in the bahamas, check it out here and here) a nautical themed wedding was a perfect fit for them.

i had the honor of going with her to find her dress. we both cried when she came out in it. so we knew it was the ONE.

perfect shoes for the nautical look.

thanks courtney, our second shooter, for getting these shots of me helping her into her dress.

i love the reactions that we get during our first looks.

i loved niki’s nautical bouquet created by danielle with dream designs.

on with more of the ryan and rebekah show (:

i love capturing the emotional response of the groom watching his future bride walk down the aisle.

rebekah=gorgeous bride!

<3

same topper from rebekah’s parents cake

check out this slideshow of more images of ryan’s and rebekah’s wedding day here.

and some more of us.

thanks kim for this cute hair accessory.

he always wants to be in my pictures.

rebekah always dreamed of having her wedding in the backyard at her grandfather’s house. the same backyard her parents were married in. so once she found ryan, so she told him. before they were engaged. she just wanted to make sure he knew the future plans (:

please enjoy the first part of her their dreams coming true.

ryan’s mother did all of the flower arrangements. (:

i loved the guys gray suits

how cute our these orange wedges. i told the girls, if anyone happens to have an 8.5 they don’t want after the wedding, ill take them of their hands…um or should i say feet. oh also, wedges are perfect shoes to have for lawn weddings. no heels sinking in!

didn’t ryan’s mom do a fabulous job with the bouquets!!

rebekah made the girls hair pieces, so cute!

rebekah’s grandfather. doesn’t he look very handsome in his suit. he was so sweet.

i have decided to break this wedding up into two parts. because, it kinda was a two part wedding. first, daniel and ashley got married inside her father’s church in st. cloud and held a cupcake reception there. then moved the party downtown orlando, which i will get to tomorrow. for now, here are a couple to hold you over!

cinderella say it best!

when ashley’s nephew entered the room he went running right up to her, it was so cute. he was so excited to see her in her dress.

stunning.

ashley made the wrap to her bouquet with pvc pipe and rhinestones. well done!

i love natural laughing pictures. and i thought this was so “daniel”.

right as they kissed rose petals fell from the ceiling. ashley had no idea about it.

off to their cupcake reception! those cupcakes were so good someone had to be setup as security so no one would eat them before ashley and daniel (:

Their first dance.

And then some special entertainment by ashley and her dad! It was fantastic.

these two are going to be amazing parents! every time we started talking about little liam they both just lit up. kelli definitely rocks the look as a mom to be and was quite the trooper during this summer shoot. are you kidding me, i would be swimming in a kiddie pool full of ice cubes if it was me.

ali and brian aren’t professional models, although you would think they are!

we met up and snapped a few on the dock at her parent’s home.

then we headed to the bolles school where they met and went to high school.

<3

they are just so sweet together!

these two met under this tree, during a fire drill at school. although, from what we gathered, ali had her eye on brian long before that. since it had a special place in their hearts, brian asked ali to marry him under this tree.

then we headed down to jax beach. my view.

beau’s view.

no beau is not growing his hair back out on purpose. after a slight run in with a surfboard, which resulted in a nice little gash on his dome, he has been forced not to shave. for now. scars are cool, so he says.

here i am trying to obviously exfoliate my knee caps with the beach sand.

this guy and gal are really two of the sweetest people i have ever met. i have a million of nice things to say about shaina and joe, maybe in another blog. i am so happy that we get to call them friends! well friends, here are some of your wedding pics!

danielle with dream designs never fails to blow my mind with the creations she comes up with. she really works straight from her heart and it shows. she is a true professional!!

killer shoes for a killer dress!

her dad is the cutest!

can she BE any more gorgeous??

grrrr!

love!

shaina in her super cute betsey johnson reception dress! love it when a bride changes so she can DANCE!

recognize these two? shaina was a bridesmaid in their wedding. when shaina changed her dress, joe changed too. love it!

yay!

i love working with him!
