Beth and Davey’s wedding day at the IMG Golf Academy in Bradenton was such a special day celebrated by many friends and family! Beth contacted me well over a year ago about their wedding day and I can not believe that it has now passed! The day began at the Hilton Garden where Beth and her girls began celebrating and getting ready! As we entered the room you could not only tell just how excited all of these girls were for Beth, but also how much they loved her and were so happy to be by her side! As they helped her into her gown, there were tears and so many smiles as they all saw her as such a beautiful bride for the first time! – She was seriously stunning! Just wait for her black and white bridal portraits!

As we headed to IMG later that afternoon the clouds began to roll in and we prayed for the rain to hold off just long enough to get through the ceremony, and it did just that! Beth was able to be escorted down the aisle to Davey by her oldest son and brother, and it was such a sweet moment to witness. This ceremony was so different than many that I am a part of and I loved it! It wasn’t just about them getting married, but about them becoming a family!

Once the ceremony ended the rain began and we had just about the shortest portrait time I had ever had on a wedding day – about 5 minutes!  So we watched the weather and just hoped that we could get another break long enough for a few more minutes, and we got just that! The sun peeked through the clouds right at the time we had planned on taking sunset portraits and I love the images we got when we headed back out! Photos right after a rainfall are some of my favorites! Once we finished our last set of portraits the party began and they danced the evening away with friends and family!

Beth and Davey’s wedding day was such a great day to be a part of, and I am so happy for them and their families! Congratulations Mr and Mrs Parizo!
