Bethany and Blake’s wedding day at the Dade City Garden Club was the PERFECT way to kick off my 2018 weddings! Bethany and Blake had a gorgeous garden themed wedding and the perfect warm weather for a February wedding day! The day started off with so many stunning details to photograph and lots of laughs between Bethany and her bridesmaids! From champagne popping, helping each other get ready, and seeing the venue come together – these girls were so sweet and so happy for Bethany and Blake!

Bethany was a dream bride in SO many ways but one of the biggest things was she wanted lots of photos! The best way to gets lots of photo time is to have a first look, and Bethany and Blake were more than willing to do one! Blake’s reaction was so sweet when he saw his stunning bride! It was a look of  pure joy and excitement, and it was perfect! We spent the next hour and half taking as many photos as we could! Even when we were finished later that evening, I asked Bethany if she wanted to keep shooting or go back to her guest and she said ,” Keep Shooting! ” – Seriously, she was a DREAM!

These two said their ” I Do’s” under a garland covered pergola in the middle of the beautiful gardens! Their intimate ceremony included Bible readings from Blake’s sister and Bethany’s aunt, and shared sweet vows before being announced as husband and wife! Once their ceremony was over we went back to shooting a few more sunset photos and then headed off to the reception to celebrate!

Bethany and Blake, thank you so much for allowing me to capture your day! You two are one of the sweetest and most joy filled couples I have had the pleasure of working with and I am so happy for you two! I loved getting to celebrate with you two and your families!
