This is part three of the wedding of Paulina and David in Vero Beach, Florida.  If you missed the first two posts, I recommend looking at them first to get their whole story.  :)  Click HERE for part one, and click HERE for part two!!

We left off just as the ceremony was getting ready to start…

As I walked to the beach, I shot a few details at the reception site before it was dark.  Every single tiny detail at the wedding and reception were just amazing!!  The programs and  fans were handed to each guest as they arrived to the ceremony.

Here are close-ups of the chuppah (the canopy they stood under).  Talk about PERFECTION!!!

David getting ready to walk down with Mom and Dad on each arm. 

Remember the surprise I mentioned in the last post??  When David and Paulina were in the early stages of planning, Paulina mentioned that it would be so cool to have a choir….they quickly blew it off.  David didn’t forget.  :)  He had a choir surprise her when she came out of the building to walk down to the beach.

The BEAUTIFUL girls!

David seeing his bride for the first time….

It was iphone MANIA!!!  I wanted to post another shot I have of about 30 phones in the center of the isle.

Precious.

The handsome men…

LOVE LOVE LOVE this so much.

As soon as the ceremony was over, they went back up the “isle” and just started running away up the beach!

We ran too!

They were so in love, in the moment, and happy….just as you should be.

Everyone moved on to the reception around the pool.  It was set up so beautifully, with different types of food stations-from Mediterranean, to a Willy Wonka bar.

This was the sushi station.  This floral arrangement was divine!

Speaking of centerpieces….check out these beauties.

Lovely first dance…..

And they had such loving toasts by good friends and family.

Then the party got going!!!

Here is Brett’s brother Jason hanging with Emilio and Gloria Estefan.

I loved this little tabletop centerpiece.

Their cake was beautiful with the D &P logo on top!

Brett and I got access to the roof and climbed up there to get shots…as soon as we climbed up, this Mariachi band began to play!  Brett quickly ran back down.

And best of all, David sang to Paulina!  :)  He has a GREAT voice!!

Then they surprised us all….and jumped in the pool!!!

It was the perfect ending to their perfect evening.

David and Paulina, we wish you all the best in your new life together!  We hope that your honeymoon in Barcelona is AMAZING!!!  Thank you for having us come to document one of the most important days in your lives. 

May God bless you through the years to come….

You may remember Heather and Rodney from there fun engagement session HERE.  Brett and I went to school with Rodney, and one of our past brides is one of Heather’s best friends, so we felt right at home at this wedding. 

To top it off, the bridal party got ready and had pictures before at Heather’s parents beautiful farm, which is in the same small town I grew up in.

Rodney getting all snazzy.

I just love this shot Brett got. This may be one of my most favorite ring shots.

The girls help Heather with the finishing touches…

Her beautiful mother helps her with her necklace.  Can you believe she had 7 kids??  And you all flip about me having 4? 

Heading out to see Rodney for the first time…..They decided to have photos taken before the wedding together at her parents farm.

They were adorable seeing each other for the first time. 

Then we went down to the pond for some photos.  I thought Heather was brave being around her doggie…soaking wet.

We took photos at the pond where Rodney had proposed to her.

Then we played around a bit by the horse stalls.

At the church, the girls were peaking out the window of their room as the guests arrived…..

Rodney’s adorable nephew was the ring bearer. 

MARRIED!!

They did a unity candle at the reception……

and had a beautiful first dance.

What do you think- nice or smash??

Let’s just say they they “took the cake” on the smash face!!  (bad pun I know.)  It was everywhere!!

Little lovebirds!!!

Heather and Rodney!!!  Thanks guys so much for everything.  We know you are both nervous in front of the camera, but trust me….you guys did great!!  :)  We loved hanging with you guys for your engagement session and your wedding day, and we look forward to just hanging for fun really soon.  Let’s make it happen!

You two are awesome, and we know you guys are gonna be so happy together.  You can just see it in each of your eyes whenever the other is there. 

We wish you all the very best, and the happiest life together.

love~
