Vanessa and Jamie

I spent Saturday down in Apalachicola for Vanessa and Jamie's semi-destination wedding. The couple came over to Apalachicola from Jacksonville for their wedding, as the area has special meaning for them, with Jamie's family beach house at nearby St. George Island. After a bit of a rocky wedding planning road which included not only a change of venue, but a change of city and a change of dress, the couple had a charming, intimate "Forgotten Coast" celebration.

I absolutely fell in love with Vanessa's shoes! How awesome are these!?

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!
