Melissa and Mike got married in the beautiful Mission Inn Resort in Howie-in-The-Hills last Saturday. I shot this wedding with my friend Dan, who is a pleasure to work with. We were taking some photos on the golf course, when we saw an aligator starring at us from a bank of a pond. It freaked me out a little bit, but just for a second. Mike, who is a police officer, offered that he would wrestle the gator but Melissa didn’t think it was such a great idea.

It truly was a fairytale wedding! They got married in Marriott Renessaince Vinnoy Golf and Resort in St. Petersburg. The ceremony was outside in the Tea Garden and the reception in a beautiful Sunset Ballroom. Sarah looked gorgeous! All the planning and preparations paid off! Check out this photo! Aren’t the bridesmaids beautiful? I loved the chocolade brown dresses and the colorful flowers.

Sarah and Jason’s wedding is coming up next week. I can’t wait. It’s going to be great! Sarah has everything planned out to the T. Jennifer is coming with me, so it’s going to be even more fun. Here is their favorite image from the engagement session, which was shot on a beautiful day at scenic Rollins College campus in Winter Park, Florida. The cool thing about their engagement session is that there were so many great images–they didn’t have to choose just one. We put together and entire album as a wedding guest signing book! I’ll post some pages from the signing book later on.
