Florida Panhandle Wedding Photographer : destination wedding photographer : fine art wedding photographer

What did you do last week-end? We had the honor of  shooting the beautiful wedding of Summer and Carl Hopper. The ceremony, with their family and many friends, was held on the  tree shaded lawn of Centennial Park in the late afternoon of June 12, 2010.  As the bride made her dramatic entrance, the air was filled with the soft aroma of magnolia blossoms and the lilting tones of the string musicians playing that familiar tune. After the ceremony, who could think of a better way to get to the reception but to hitch a ride in a 1908 Ford model T. Everyone smiled and honked their horns for “good luck” as the Model T round its way through Port St. Joe to The Beach Club, at Windmark Beach. There the clubhouse was expertly designed and beautifully decorated  with satin and organza table cloths, framing the beautiful fresh flower arrangements, done in the Bride’s favorite colors.  It was a perfect ending to a perfect beginning.

On a warn sultry afternoon on May 29th, Fran and Ben committed to become man and wife and join the Hokkanen Finnish family and end their single lives of lonely solitude. Ha! In reality they invited their best friends and family to celebrate their union at the quaint and cozy St Joseph’s Catholic Church in Port St Joe. After the ceremony we headed to Windmark Beach for some fun photos.  We were very fortunate to run into Ryan Alexander, manager of the School of Fish Restaurant at Windmark Beach. He was a gracious host and invited us to use his restaurant as a backdrop for some of our shots.  We then headed for the Tourist Development Council which sports a huge open air deck overlooking St Joe Bay. Under white tents decorated and lit by Rich Wynn of  Panche Tent and Events and the co-operation of a cool breeze coming off  St Joe Bay, the mood was set.  That’s when the party started. Provisions provided the most beautiful, tastiest,colorful buffet I have ever seen!  Beach Bartenders kept the crowd happy, singing and dancing.  A beautiful ceremony, super fun reception with family and (very energetic) friends. This is their life and these are their pictures, enjoy!
