Erin captured Lindsay + Ryan’s gorgeous wedding at Lange Farm last weekend!  Here are a few sneak peeks …




lesley + ryan’s wedding

I met up with Lesley + Ryan for their beautiful 5-29-10 wedding in Tampa, FL. I met these two a little while back for their engagement session in St. Augustine, FL. They are such a sweet couple and I had a blast getting to work with them again:) Their ceremony was at a gorgeous little church called St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church. After the ceremony there were limos waiting on the bride and groom and their bridal party to take them off to the reception. The Tampa Marriott was right on the water, and once the rain stopped we were able to sneak outside for a couple of shots. Everyone had a blast at the reception celebrating these two newlyweds:)

Lesley + Ryan ~ Congrats! Your wedding was wonderful and it was so great to be a part of it! I hope you enjoy some of our favorites from your big day!

-Erin

emily + adam’s wedding

The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island wins an award for being one of our top 5 favorite wedding venues in Florida!  The classic beauty and charm of the hotel never fails to impress us and Emily + Adam’s wedding on 05.30.10 was no exception. It was a gorgeous sunny (and windy!) day for their beach ceremony and their reception was inside the beautiful Talbot Ballroom.  We clicked with this couple instantly during their engagement session a couple months ago and they were so fun to work with on the wedding day.  Emily owns her own design/organizing business (Organized Interiors by Emily) and she did an amazing job with all the details & designs for the wedding!

Emily + Adam ~ Thanks again for everything!!!  Enjoy some of our favorites from the day below as well as a slideshow at the end. We had so much fun celebrating your day with you and we wish you two all the best!
