Our Kristen Marie Photography team recently had the pleasure of working with a very special couple at their Sandpearl Resort wedding on Clearwater Beach.

Melissa and Joe’s wedding was so amazing. They were such a sweet and relaxed couple, which made them easy to photograph.

What made their Clearwater Beach wedding so special was the way they blended their families. The couple made their wedding day as much about their kids as themselves.

Kristen Marie Photography spent the day with both the bride and groom at their hotel rooms as they got ready for the big day.

A First Look and Family Photos

Later that afternoon, we arranged for their first look on the resort’s lawn, followed by some photos with their wedding party – their kids.

The weather was perfect for their beautiful beach wedding. With their children by their side and surrounded by family and close friends, the day was picture perfect.

Following the wedding ceremony, the couple took time for some additional beach photos and photos with their family before heading off to the cocktail hour.

Pretty in Pink and Gold at the Sandpearl Resort

Inside the resort’s ballroom, everything was set in plenty of time for our team to get some incredible photographs. The ballroom was perfect for an intimate wedding. We love the pink embroidered table cloths with the amazing tall pink and white floral arrangements. The gold chairs, charger plates, and charge really made the pink pop!

The newlyweds made their grand entrance and kicked off the night with their first dance. We love that on the left side of their sweetheart table, the couple included a table for their three kids!

The night continued with a welcome toast by the couple followed by dances with their parents and their kids.

They returned to the party for a delicious dinner and a night filled with dancing before cutting this beautiful wedding cake with pink and white flowers.
