This wedding was so incredibly beautiful that it has to be broken into 3 parts. I'll elaborate more about the details on the second post, but for this one, I just want to get to the images. :)

For the first post, we'll spotlight the gorgeous newlyweds, Valerie and Ricky. Valerie and Ricky gave us tons of time BEFORE the ceremony to take photos and it was nothing short of amazing. As photographers, we were thrilled. :)



This first one was shot right after their 'first look'... :)

...we then moved over to Kraft Azalea Park for some portrait time.

Valerie was especially excited about this location because it tied in with the theme of their wedding, and their engagement session. :)

I need to take a moment to highlight Valerie. She was seriously one of the most stunning brides I have ever seen.

The ceremony and reception were held at the Winter Park Farmer's Market (LOVE), so we took the opportunity to grab a few more shots around that area before everything started.

Valerie, I know you have been excited to see the outcome of this shot, so I hope you love it as much as I do! :)

A little end of the night romance...:)

*Stay tuned for parts two and three of this fantastic day!



**P.s. If you have been waiting on sneak peeks or discs, please bear with me! We had a few issues with our blog this past week, AND we are currently out of town, so I've gotten a little behind. Everything will be back on track this week - thanks for your patience! :)
