Who doesn’t love a wedding where you can put your toes in the sand and watch the sun dip into the ocean?! Crystal and Ben said their wedding vows under the warm sunshine at the Grand Plaza on St. Pete Beach. Their ceremony was attended by their closest family and friends, many of which traveled from states away to be part of the day. All the guests were all smiles, happy tears and loving cheers for this match made in heaven.
Crystal’s gown was so elegant and looked absolutely gorgeous on her. I really loved the details on the lace, the ruffles and the contrasting liner. Ben rocked a full beard with a clean cut suit that complemented Crystal perfectly. Apart they were gorgeous but together they were perfection.
The day led us through getting ready and a sunny first look on the sands of St. Pete Beach. The ceremony was short and sweet with a lively reception right after. It was filled with pretty set tables, the cutest cake and speeches and toasts that made my eyes well up. Renee, Crystals mom really knows how to bring the emotion out. I’m not sure there was a dry eye after the words she spoke to her daughter were finished. It was truly a moment where time stopped, everyone listened and we all felt the love.
A few dances, one warm, golden sunset and the day was finished. The memories made will never be forgotten though.
Enjoy the highlight video from this beautiful day!
Cheers to the happy couple and a lifetime of love and happiness! I’m so grateful to have been part of this love story!
The couple had a romantic first look under beautiful bougainvillea in Old Northeast. After that we had just enough time for couples photos and a short drive to the ceremony location.
