All You Need is Love!







The title of this post truly captures the personalities of this bride and groom. When I first met with Mike and Wendi, they were so focused on the reason for the wedding (the marriage) not much else was important to them. They knew they wanted good food, good music and all their family and friends there. Besides that, they didn't care too much about the details. In fact, when I met with them about 6 weeks before their wedding, they still had A LOT to do! (I can tease them about this...they are such a fun couple!) We went into overdrive and finished the small details that really pulled everything together. I think Wendi finally was starting to feel relaxed for her big day! Then, the church called and said the A/C was broken. For those of you reading that do not live in the south, you're just not going to understand why this is such a big deal. It has been 105 with the heat index here and stifling! The staff from Audubon Park Covenant Church was great though. They brought in commercial fans to start circulating cool air from the fellowship hall to the sanctuary. By the wedding day, it was still warm, but way better! Most brides may have lost it, but Wendi and her sister just began making fans for guests to hold during the short ceremony. The boys, luckily, were wearing linen pants and shirts. Officiated by the bride's father, it turned out beautifully. Then guests were invited to the Winter Park Farmer's Market for the reception, where Sonny's catered the whole event with a ton of BBQ. The colorful cake was provided by Publix and they did a great job. After dinner, the DJ got everyone on the dance floor and it stayed packed all night long. The bride even played a special kid's song for her nephew (That is the picture you see above of everyone surrounding Logan). A special thanks to Noemi Maisonet from Captiva for her beautiful images. I felt like family all night and I truly loved working with Wendi and Mike. I wish them the best!
