Jennifer and Stephan met on cruise ship where Stephan was working. Of and on the ship and a couple of chance meetings, one thing led to another and 75 close friends and family headed over to Clearwater to beach for an unforgettable wedding. A few favorites are below.
Brad and Jennifer both come from exceptional parents whose depth and intelligence were unmistakable during their extraordinary reception speeches. Spending two thankful days with everyone and treated like a guest it was clear to me Brad, Jennifer and the people they surround themselves will continue on the tradition with those same admirable qualities. Leaving the cold Canadian weather with 70 guests the wedding ceremony began at the stunning cloisters gardens, a 14th Century French stone monastery that was brought over brick by brick to Paradise Island during the 1920’s. The wedding reception was held at the Fathoms restaurant at the Atlantis resort which provided a unique dining experience with a tremendous sea world size aquarium tank with fish, sharks, and manta rays passing close to the glass all night also joining in on the celebration. Below are a few favorites and the slide show. Special thanks to One and Only resort wedding planner Cara Deveaux and Exceptional officiant Mathew Sweeting.
Matt and Kristin’s wedding was at the fairly new Clearwater Beach Hyatt. Being only 15 minutes away that venue had eluded me and I was excited to shoot there for the first time. Perfect weather and Kristin’s positive energy made for an ideal event. Her possessed veil was quite memorable as it grabbed the wind at every opportunity along with other things like posts and chairs and helped make for some fun images. Below are a few favorites and a slide show. Special thanks to the Hyatt staff, makeup perfection by Rachael Reumann, Black Forest Flowers, DJ Corey Barron from Grant Hemond and Assoc, and Chantilly Cakes.
