Marie and Ryan planned an amazing wedding in the lush gardens at the Cummer Museum. They had every little detail worked out. Then Ryan called me the day of the wedding and said everything was being moved inside because of the nasty weather. Marie was upset. I felt terrible for them. The crew quickly started making changes to accommodate an in-door ceremony. But Ryan kept checking the radar. Then he made a risky decision. The ceremony would be outside just like Marie wanted. We would all just hope the rain held off. Miraculously, it did! And the wedding turned out beautiful. Even with all the last-minute changes!

Venue: The Cummer Museum of Art and Gardens

Flowers and Design: Riverside Flowers and Events

Catering: The Chef's Garden

Cakes: Metro Custom Cakes

Band: Scott Giddens (featuring Linda Cole)

I have so many favorite images from the day. Here are just a few:

Isn't she gorgeous?!

So funny to see "product" in the guys' dressing room!

Ryan and Marie's daughters. The one on the right wanted to make silly faces in every picture-hilarious!

B-L-I-N-G!

I know it's all the rage right now for couples to see each other before the wedding, but I still love when their eyes meet for the first time during the ceremony. Look at her face!

They included their girls in the ceremony.

He's usually not a smiley person. He was that day. :)

Longest wedding kiss in history. Seriously!

Their happiness was contagious.

Yes, the wedding cake was fab, but can we talk about the Groom's Cake for a minute?!

Anderson was in love.

Real string.

Wood grain-are you serious?!

Even the signature was dead on. And to top it off...it was yummy!

Cute kiddos were all over the place.

EVERYONE was singing along with the incredible band. The singer is related to Nat King Cole. His niece, I think?

I have a secret. Every time we shoot a wedding I have a favorite guest. This time it was Ryan's dad. He was just the sweetest, friendliest guy. At the end of the night we were standing near the candy table, and he heard me tell Anderson that Sixlets were my favorite childhood candy. So he filled up two take home candy buckets and gave them to me! Sorry if you didn't get any Sixlets...:)

CONGRATS Ryan and Marie!!!
