The reception was set up to be indoor & outdoor. With bands in both areas, a strolling supper (in & out), tents, beautiful lighting (japanese lanterns & globe lighting inside). There were a lot of Italian traditions that were followed. A cookie/pastry cake, the italian money dance, italian cuisine, and Brittany wore green the entire day preceding the wedding for good luck. They are going to need luck in a household divided, Brittany & family are die hard Florida Gators while Joe attended FSU and loves his football. You can see a bit of their rivalry at their engagement session.

I really hope these two have a great time on their honeymoon in St. Lucia!

Joe thinking about the day ahead.

I love Brittany’s face here while she was getting her hair done. And make-up by the always wonderful Randi Buchanan.

Look at that smile on Brittany’s face as her dress was being zipped up. The excitement was contagious.

The centerpieces were mostly different, they thought of everything even the mouth wash in the bathroom (kissable breath), coozies, & monogrammed bar napkins

Outdoor they had a patio set up under tents with Japanese lanterns, monogrammed pillows, and what looked like a very yummy Arnold Palmer already made

Katie’s cakes & an Italian Cookie Cake

Stunning

The trolley ride was quite a treat for the bridal party & parents as always!

It was quite a time in the beginning we had some confusion with Rebecca (the one being photographed) and Rebekah (the photographer), we finally figured it all out! But it was comical in the beginning.

The luggage was fitting because within a week after the session they moved to their new station with the military, but they will of course be back for the wedding! They have moved a lot since their (so far) short marriage, and will of course move many more times.

The second session on here is of Marley. Marley’s daddy, Chris, owns a local bartending company we deal with on a regular basis at events, On the Rocks Bartending. They have always done a tremendous job at the events we have worked together at. We enjoyed finally meeting Chris’ family. Marley is getting big pretty quickly, so we are happy they allowed us to capture her at such as small point in her life.

MARLEY NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY:

This was the tender moment right before they SMASHED each other in the face with cake, it wasn’t a pretty sight!

There *might* be an after session in the future with this couple & if it works out that the newlyweds are able to make it down here we will be more than ecstatic. Actually I won’t complain if someone gives us a reason to go to Athens, GA in order to do the session in Heidi’s neck of the world! We will see what the future brings. Either way this isn’t the last of the always beautiful Heidi.
