    Dustin + Casey | Lake Mary Events Center |

     

    What a fun, relaxed and beautiful wedding! Casey and Dustin are two very kind hearted, sweet, fun people. We really enjoyed their wedding at The Lake Mary Events Center! The new renovations in the ceremony room looked absolutely fabulous! Between the beautiful window light, and the new wood floors, it made for a gorgeous ceremony. Not to mention all of the fun little details Casey included throughout her reception room.  Also we had the privilege of working with some incredible vendors! Megan Martin with Megan Martin events did a wonderful job coordinating the entire day and White Rose Entertainment kept the party moving. We are so happy to finally share this beautiful wedding with everyone. Congratulations again Casey and Dustin!

     



     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Charlie and Rachel are Married! Harmony Golf Course, FL

     

    Congratulations to Charlie and Rachel! What a beautiful intimate shabby chic wedding at Harmony Golf Course! It was wonderful celebrating the day with you two! We wish you the best! Enjoy the photos!:)

    Tell us a little bit about yourselves and your love story (how you met, fell in love, got engaged… - Charlie is a Lacrosse coach for Dr. Phillips High School and I am a hair stylist & stay at home mom. We met online, went on one date and it was love at first sight. At midnight on 5/13/2012 Charlie woke me up from a deep sleep got on one knee and proposed:)one month later we found out we were going to be having a baby.

    How did you come up with the overall concept or theme of your wedding - I am a big Rachel Ashwell fan and always dreamed of having a vintage shabby chic wedding. Charlie was amazing in my idea for the wedding. He told me “you have been dreaming of your wedding since you were a little girl so I want you have have what ever you want.” He would definitely deny this but he is also very into the white wash vintage style;)

    Did you have any special traditions or unique details at your wedding - everything at my wedding was handmade by a wonderful family friend Ginny StDenis. My mother is a doctor in St. Cloud and we both agreed from the beginning that everything we need to purchase we would get it local. We are all about helping out our community. Our favors were jars of honey from Bertossa Honey Farm. You can purchase it at House of Envy Boutique in downtown St. Cloud. We also were able to borrow some of our decorations from Lisa Bertossa who is the owner of House of Envy. Some of the special traditions that I had were I put an old coin in my shoe for my walk down the isle, just as my mother did on her wedding day. It is said if you put an old coin in your left shoe it will ensuring health and wealth in the marriage to come. I also carried an old bible with me for the ceremony which was Charlies fathers great grandmothers.

    Photography is a big investment and a very important part of your wedding — what were the most important factors to you in choosing your wedding photographer - Being comfortable with your photographers and looking at their past work and seeing they have the same style you would want for your pictures. You will have your wedding pictures for the rest of your life so find someone who will take the time to make sure they are your idea of perfect.

    What was your favorite part of your wedding day - signing our marriage certificate:)

    Any advice you’d like to give to newly engaged couples? - Rachel’s advice- enjoy your engagement it will go by quick. Charlies advice- Don’t poop with the door open….even after the wedding. note- I am so sorry ^ He made me type it.

    Had the privilege of photographing Rachel’s brother, my brother in law’s senior photos! Steve and I have had a great past few years building a solid relationship. We spend a lot of time together, and the majority of our time talking about movies and working out. Needless to say we had a great time walking Downtown finding some great spots to shoot at. Steve will be graduating from St. Cloud High in May and is very excited about starting a new chapter in his life. I couldn’t ask for a better brother in law and can’t wait to see what the future holds for him! Congratulations on surviving high school Steve!;)
