On Saturday Lauren and Greg were married at the Beach House Restaurant on
Bradenton Beach. The banquet coordinators Nichole and Shawn are awesome, sweet, and super helpful! It was a joy to work there again and I can't wait until I get to go back! When I woke up early Saturday morning I was filled with ominous foreboding! It was thundering, lightening, and raining cats and dogs! Not picture perfect wedding day weather! Well look at the day that Lauren and Greg got! Absolutely beautiful! Not to pat myself on the back but
ehmmm... that is 2 weddings in a row with 60% rain chances and not a DROP of rain !

Above, the happy couple married at last. Rev. Shook, an Anna Maria resident performed the ceremony. Below, the beautiful ceremony site, Only Sarah and I appreciate how nice those rows of chairs look, wink, wink... ;)

Of course the sun, sand, surf, and rocky bank, make a picture perfect spot for post ceremony formal portraits.

The water was an amazing color that day.

Bride and Groom share their first dance to a live performance of Over the Rainbow by
Isreal... can't pronounce the last name... you know who I mean. The couple's DJ was John
Rinell, a regular fixture at both the Sandbar and Beach House, he was great to work with and plays the steel drums,
ukulele, guitar, sings and d.j.s... talk about a great value!

The bride and her father danced to Have I Told You Lately, also performed by John.

There was a sweet moment when the floor was opened up for all fathers and daughters to "Butterfly Kisses". Lots made their way onto the
dance floor.

The cake was courtesy of Matt and Dom's Pastry on the island, it was very pretty! Flowers were by Tropical Interiors and they did a great job.

I caught a few pics of Sarah, a former bride of mine. Her 1 year anniversary was just 2 weeks ago. She is thinking of trying her hand at wedding coordination in Jacksonville and I was more than happy to have her help out to get some experience from this wedding. Her help was very appreciated and she did a great job. Maybe we can do it again soon Sarah.

The bride tossed her bouquet to a lucky recipient who still had it in hand the next morning at the farewell brunch.

Going, going, gone!

It was a great wedding, and I can't wait to see the trailer video that Sage at Starfruit Productions produces! Congrats Lauren and Greg and have a great honeymoon in Hawaii!
