Randa & Bill
I spent my Friday at St. George Island photographing Randa and Bill's wedding. There are so many words I can use to describe this couple-- fun, laid-back, sweet, southern, but I think the minister summed it up best in their ceremony, "They're keepers!"
Randa's beautiful shoes and necklace:
Randa isn't a prissy kind of girl-- she didn't need anyone to hold up her train, she just grabbed it and went!
In true preschool teacher style-- Randa plopped down on the floor while she waited for everyone else to get ready.
Their ceremony was lovely and extremely personal, but there is only so much room on the blog! So, I am selfishly using the space to show a lot of their beach portraits, as I just think they are awesome!
After the ceremony, Randa, Bill and I slipped away to his family beach house on the island. It was so wonderful to take portraits in a place that meant so much to them!
Could you ask for a better location or better subjects!?
Bill had NO problem doing any of the kissing poses that I asked for-- I think it might have been his favorite part of the day!
I am always pushing myself to come up with new ways to show off wedding bands. Sometimes the location helps me with ideas!
The sunset on the island was absolutely beautiful, it was if their day had been blessed from start to finish.
Over at the Coombs House Inn, Randa and her dad shared the sweetest dance under the gazebo.

Vanessa and Jamie are a house divided-- She's a Nole, he's a Gator. What a surprise Jamie had when he pulled out her Seminole garter!
Vanessa's calla lily bouquet was so perfect with all the simple elegance of the day.
I love this look between mother and daughter as Vanessa is escorted down the aisle.
The church was one of the cutest churches I have ever seen! I swear it looks like it came right off the set of The Andy Griffith Show!
We did a few portraits in the church...
Then ran outside for some fun!
We finished up our portrait time at the main Coombs House, with a few shots on the porch...
And in the stairway.
Shying away from tradition a bit, Vanessa and Jamie chose a tower of mini key-lime tarts instead of a wedding cake!
Vanessa's decor was stunning-- it really looked like a scene from a magazine to me.
They finished off the evening with a sparkler farewell!
