Na & Chris: Married!

Na & Chris found me a little while back, and when they described their up-coming wedding to me, I got SO excited! She told me it would be a Cambodian wedding, and part of that entails wearing many different dresses (what can I say, I love dresses!). Their 2-day wedding finally arrived last weekend, and it was definitely one for the books! The ceremony started on Friday morning and lasted throughout the entire day. There were so many unique traditions incorporated into this wedding, I just wish I understood it all (time to do some research!). Every little detail was so meaningful to the Cambodian culture, and the family support was incredible.

Saturday was the reception, which was about 6 hours. This time it was at a reception hall in Haines City (the ceremony was at her parents home). This was a gorgeous location, and it was massive! It had to be to accommodate all 350+ guests! The authentic Cambodian band played throughout the entire evening, and it was all just so incredible. Enjoy the sneak peak: it was so difficult choosing which photos to show for this one! :)



The groom and the guests walked in a parade led by the groom. They eventually met the bride and offered her gifts (which is what everyone here is carrying). Amazing :)










The beautiful reception site


SO many people grouped up for the bouquet toss...even the guys!


I love moments like these



Isn't she just gorgeous? :)




They had a TEN course meal. That's right; 10. And it was all *delicious*!








These lovely ladies were part of the Cambodian band and they were fantastic!

Meredith & Jeff: Married!

For those of you who don't remember Jeff & Meredith from before, click on the link to see their engagement session. Their wedding took place in Key Largo this past weekend, and man oh man was it just GORGEOUS! I am guilty of being raised in Florida and having never been to the Keys, so this was very exciting for me. The drive there was absolutely beautiful, and I just couldn't get over how *perfect* the weather was for an outdoor ceremony in the Keys. I met with Meredith and some of the girls in their hotel room for some getting ready photos, and after a quick bridal portrait session we headed down to the water for the amazing ceremony. It was a quaint wedding with 50 or so guests, and everything was so laid back. The guys wore flip flops and rolled up their pants (so cute!), and many people walked around barefoot for a good portion of it. After the ceremony, we headed to the dock for some sunset photos. Craig and I had a great time with Jeff & Meredith during their portrait session. They are so much in love and just overall happy people. When I looked through the photos for the first time, I smiled almost the entire way through. That's how you know it was a successful wedding :) The reception was equally as amazing as the ceremony. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves, and we even got to dance with everyone a bit after we finished taking photos. Great wedding!!! Enjoy the sneak peak!

The day could not have been any more gorgeous (and neither could Jeff & Meredith!)

Meredith's gift to Jeff. I think he fell in love with her all over again!





I absolutely loved the lights in the reception hall!


This group did not hold back on partying!
