Aimee + Scott tie the knot! Anna Maria Island, FL 3.14.08

A couple of weeks ago, Heather Ahrens and I had the honor of photographing Aimee and Scott's wedding on Anna Maria Island, FL. It's a very small island right off of Sarasota and is so quaint and beachy. Aimee grew up on the island so they found it proper to get married there.
The ceremony and reception was supposed to be held right on the beach, however, rain put a damper on the day. Normally in Florida, it rains really hard for about an hour and then clears up. This wasn't the case for Aimee and Scott's day, but they didn't let that get to them! The coordinators quickly moved the chairs under a pavilion and the guests huddled under to witness their beautiful ceremony. About an hour later, after all the portraits, the sky began to open up just in time for sunset! We grabbed the wedding party and ran down to the beach to catch the last bit of light. Perfect!
What a fun group of people. The reception quickly began after that and it was the perfect way to end the day. They say rain on your wedding day is good luck. I know that Aimee and Scott definitely don't need it!The next day, I headed back out to Anna Maria Island to shoot their "Trash The Dress" session. The weather was BEAUTIFUL! Scott was so cute. He brought a portable radio and champagne to kick off the morning.
It was such a pleasure getting to know you both and I wish you all the happiness in the world!












Despite the rain, we got this fabulous photo! Love the yellow!!
