9.26.09 abbey & jeff

September 26th, 2009
Abbey & Jeff

This was a sweet couple. Abbey wanted a very simple yet elegant wedding.


This day was all about them and being in love. Abbey glowed on her wedding day she was stunning!!! They symbolized their love by pouring containers of sand together to show they are now inseparable.The bridal party was dressed to impress, the children where adorable and perfect for the part.









The reception was outside next to a beach home they rented, simple and elegant colors of pick and chocolate brown.

Abbey surprised Jeff with a cake of his dreams GOLF!!! Every mans dream...

Jennifer & Cory

What an amazing couple from Georgia!! Jennifer a nurse and Cory a fireman! Truly in love.
I met with Jennifer early in the planning stages.

When she saw The Origin at Seahaven she new this was the place. The ceremony took place on the beach with the Reception on the 15th floor sundeck. A breath taking view!

Jennifer and Cory choose to make a donation in honor of their guests to their favorite charity instead of traditional favors.

Destin Destination Weddings


Having a Destin, Fl destination wedding. What do you pay for? What do you make your guests pay for? Well, this will hlep with some of those questions of who pays for what.

What the bride and groom (and/or their parents) are expected to pay for:

The wedding reception (whether it's a five-course meal or a beer-and-burgers bash)
A rehearsal dinner / welcome party
A morning-after brunch (friend or family member may volunteer to host this for you as a gift)

Wouldn't be a bad idea if budget allows to pay for:
Selected activities (deep sea fishing, golf, boat tour or dolphin cruise)
Transportation for guests to and from the ceremony/reception site, if they didn't drive
Transportation for your guests at the airport when they arrive, if they are flying


Bridesmaid and Groomsmen accomidations. Traditionaly, the bride and her family should cover accomidations for the bridesmaids; the groom or his family should do the same for the groomsmen. If budget doesn't allow,ask them not to give you a gift.

Your Guests should pay for:
There way to the wedding
Their accomidations
All food and drink not part of the wedding festivities
Any non-wedding activities that choose to participate in

Attendants should expect to pay for:
Travel to and from the destination
Formalwear and accessories
Hair and makeup or spa appointments
Food and drinks that aren't part of a wedding event
