Lynley & Jason found us through one of our other brides, Rebekah Weldon. Lynley had a lot stacked up against her when planning this wedding. Jason, the groom, is in the Air Force, and her parents are going to be moving back home to Panama soon. So she had to plan this wedding very quickly to make sure Jason would be available since the military could take him at any time & her parents were packing. In the middle of all of this Lynley owns her own graphic design business, CZ Graphics. Planning a wedding in three months makes for a stressed bride, but no one would have known just looking at the ceremony/reception site, she did a FABULOUS job planning this wedding.

As we were driving in the rain clouds were upon us, and truthfully we were slightly concerned since there was no back up plan for another ceremony site. Weather.com kept saying there was a high percentage of rain at 4:00pm (ceremony time). Somehow the clouds opened up right around 3:00 and stayed away until about 5:30 when everyone was inside the reception area. We were concerned again because that was about the time we could steal the bride & groom away for one on one shots, but then the skies opened again! Wow, how lucky are we?

How cute are these shoes?!

Our beautiful subject

Jason seems pretty calm as he puts on his tie, luckily I know how to tie a full windsor knot. That skill came in handy.

They opted for a first look before the wedding!

In between the toasts Lynley’s parents surprised them by getting Panamainian Tipico dancers, it was quite a treat!

After the dinner & toasts the clouds parted and we took some pictures of the newlyweds

What a beautiful day! Lynley & Jason thank you for allowing us to capture your big day, I hope that the honeymoon in Turks & Caicos went well! Keep us updated on everything that goes on.

Math is not my specialty, but I think I was able to get this equation right:

[Sarah + Cole] + [love x happiness] + [shrimp boil + bicycles + personality] = One Amazing Wedding!

Sarah and Cole are two truly special people. Watching them throughout the night, you couldn’t help but be in awe of their love for each other and for their family and friends. Their wedding was so full of joy and happiness that it was hard not to be drawn into the fun! Congratulations Sarah and Cole, you two make a beautiful couple!

There were so many great photos, it was hard to pick just one! But here is a little eye candy to hold you over until we put up the full post.

The setting was absolutely gorgeous with the bay in the background and we found a lot of great photo opportunities with this dock!

Lynley found us through Rebekah Weldon’s wedding photos. Rebekah had been tagged from the album we posted from her wedding on our facebook fan site. Lynley had been looking for a photographer to capture her big day and decided to contact us after seeing Rebekah & Geof’s photos. We were honored to capture Lynley & Jason’s big day on Davis Island in Tampa at the Garden Club. Below is a sneak peek of their day. Enjoy & check back for the full post!
