Air BNB Getting Ready

The couple and their kids were the main focal point of the wedding day. Their combined family was becoming one. Instead of opting for a large amount of hotel rooms the couple looked for an airbnb that would fit them all and they could be comfortable leading up to their wedding. This allowed for coverage to happen at one location for the getting ready. With some maneuvering and sending the groom over to the boat early we were able to get the bride dressed without the groom seeing her in the wedding dress. 

High noon Wedding Ceremonies on the water

We’ve all be on a beach at noon. It’s bright and it’s sunny. Guests and the couple really handled the sun and the heat so well for not being from Florida. The groom even got to wear his sunglasses for most of the ceremony. 

Upper deck Couples photos 

The couple was amazing and really rolled with the sun and heat. We were able to get some amazing portrait shots. Knowing you lighting and how to work with it is half the battle. If you’re getting married in the middle of the day always make sure the photographer has experience. It may seem like an easy thing but if a photographer doesn’t know lighting you will have white skies and no water or really dark couples and a perfect sky. Research is key!
