It all started at Florida State University. Home of the best football team ever (go noles!!!). But i’m biased. 
Elizabeth + Richard have been together since college, and Michael + I connected with this incredibly sweet couple through Elizabeth’s wonderful mother, Karen, who is like our number 1 fan and cheerleader. 
What can we say about this wedding? So full of love of each other, family and friends; and genuine joyfulness. We love you guys.
Get ready people. Go get’cha a big drink and some cookies (mmm… cookies sounds good right now. I digress. )cause this is going to be a long one. There were seriously so many images from this wedding that we loved, we couldn’t narrow it down to less than 50.
Location, location, location!
Elizabeth’s BEAUTIFUL dress.
Elizabeth’s sister in law, Kristen, did her makeup and seriously, she did such a great job. I told Kristen she should be a makeup artist! 
Hey Kristen! Want me to refer you to some brides who want some seriously awesome makeup done?
Elizabeth said “I can still do the splits!” so of course, most of my brides know i’m all “BRING IT!”
…and she did.
Kristen was so cute signing the frame for Elizabeth + Richard. She would think of what she wanted to say and start to write, and then back away, get a little emotional, and then try to start again.
Did I mention that there were TONS of details, everywhere I looked? Elizabeth described it as “foo-foo”. So I am so lovingly calling this the Foo Foo board.
While I was drooling over details…
Michael was hanging out with the guys.
Meanwhile, Elizabeth was writing a love note to Richard. It was very sweet and so touching.
These ties are kind of tight… or is it nerves?
Isn’t Elizabeth gorgeous?
So here’s another example of why I love shooting with Michael. We sync up our cameras so we can see who was taking what shot and when. So while Michael was hanging out with the guys, the girls were doing a toast before heading down to the ceremony. Guess what? The guys were too. At the exact same time. 1 room away.
Cheers!
Here comes the bride! Love this moment when Elizabeth’s mom gets choked up as Elizabeth’s brother Andrew walks her down the aisle.
The porch overlooking the St. Lucie.
Yay! We’re married!
Afterwards, we got ice cream for the whole bridal party, which was awesome because it was like, 100 degrees in the shade?
Best. bridal. party. EVER.
Then it was off for some lovey-dovey time!
Love these next few. Usually, we only get a few minutes to hang out with the bride and groom and we try to get some fun and romantic shots during that time. I think we did it!
A sweet first dance.
On to the party! And boy, these people got DOWN!
See what I mean?
Elizabeth + her sorority sisters Kendra + Darcy did their rendition of “Piano Man” by Billy Joel. Complete with harmonicas.
We ♥’d everything about this wedding and getting to hang out with such a cool couple/bridal party that was down for anything. Thank you Elizabeth + Richard for allowing us to be a part of your wedding and your lives. We love you guys and hope you are having a fabulous time in Costa Rica!
