Troche Wedding-Destin Florida

Here are just some of the gorgeous details that went into making Stephanie & Anthony's day!

Their day started off with some pretty ominous looking fog! I still haven't figured out which one I dread most fog or rain! In the fog, you can still get married but it does not make for very lovely photos, but with rain usually comes some pretty spectacular sunsets (if it lets up). But as the hour approached the fog started to move off the beach & ended up getting this guy below

Getting Ready

Picture
photo taken from the 3rd floor balcony where the bride & bridesmaids were getting ready :D
It really doesn't matter how dashing a groom (& his groomsmen) might be...the bride & her bridesmaids will always get ready more elegantly & beautifully than the guys lol.   Its just a fact. The ladies of this wedding were all stunning & did an exceptional job at making sure the bride was well taken care of.
Picture
I absolutely love during first looks with my bride & grooms because it offers them time to be by themselves & enjoying the quietness before the rest of the whirlwind day continues... but if you choose not to do a first look with your groom the next best thing is with dad!  This helps ease him into the idea of giving away his baby girl...maybe.

The Dad Moment

Picture
I love watching the dads expressions for the first time!  They all just seem to beam with pride & joy!  Especially this dad!  He was very excited & joking around with his gorgeous daughter all throughout the process but the moment he saw her completely ready he was speechless...for a few moments anyways.  ;)

Getting Ready...the guys

When guys get ready there is definitely more playing around...
Picture
but in the midst of all that horseplay there's still a mother-son moment where there is nothing but love & admiration for his mother on this grooms face.

The Ceremony

Picture
The photo above is one of my most favorite outtakes from this wedding...I usually don't give the bride & groom any outtakes but this photo is really neat because you can see where the bride/bridal party is peaking out the upper right hand window of the house.

I love that this minister had everyone in attendance being active by praying over the bride & groom, not just for their marriage but for them as individuals to continue to walk steadfast in their marriage through all the good & bad times.

The majority of the people in attendance of this wedding were family, they embraced both the bride & groom so much so that the line between who was the grooms family & who was the brides family seemed to blur.  This entire ceremony was nothing but pure joy & happiness for Stephanie & Anthony.

I wish you both all the happiness in the world & pray that you will continue to grow together as a strong loving & loyal husband & wife!  Cheers!

Engagement Photography-Destin, Florida

4/1/2015

    This past week has been a fun fill week of engaged couples & 2 weddings! Love is in the air! well at least for the 2 couples that got married this week! lol
    For all you currently engaged you will probably not fully understand that first sentence so I figured I would dedicate this weeks blog to all my lovelies that are engaged or about to be engaged.  
    The engagement is less than perfect, borderline ROUGH!!!  This sweet wonderful woman that you have proposed to is slowly turning into this bridezilla or at least someone that has started over analyzing things that prior to you proposal never would have been an issue.  I am speaking from 1st hand experience! 
   
Picture
My husband & I are coming up on our 3rd anniversary! & oh boy let me tell you that engagement was the WORST.....things were thrown, words were said, & tempers were hot!  We were on 2 different planets when coming up with a budget & my loving husband wanted to participate in all the planning, which for me was ummmmmmm... was less than ideal!  I was a DIY bride, that was slowly becoming this DIYzilla! The important thing is as that day came I realized at the end of the day I was signing that marriage license & I really didn't care what else happened because that man was the best ever & I knew that if he could put up with all my wedding craziness than I needed to marry him ASAP( not really ASAP we were engaged for over a year) before he decided I was a little to far into that crazy spectrum. ;) 



Picture
Seriously though, all week Ive been joking around with my grooms that bridezilla goes away on your wedding day! but really I promise she does!!!!  If you don't believe me just ask my hubby!  Bridezilla was not the person that walked down the aisle on our wedding day. We actually laughed the whole time! he was making faces & then tried to force my wedding ring onto my swollen fingers, messed up our vows, & maybe even enunciated a little on the "RICHER or poorer" part.  (theres a whole inside joke with our families about this part prior to the wedding, geared towards my husband lol ) he cracked a joke when we were exiting the ceremony & in the process stepped on my dress, oh good lord the whole list of funnies could go on & on!  

Anyways the point is if your engaged right now it may not be the best year you guys have ever had; both of you just remember why each said "yes" in the first place.  Focus on whats important. & everything else will fall into place!  Promise!

                    Btw soon-to-be- groom if you love to preserve the woman you proposed to (you dont want a bridezilla then you guys will hire a planner!  My absolute favorite planner can be found at  Beach Side Ceremonies & Events and the are conveniently housed at Southern Event Studio (more about them in a later blog :)
