i met jd and sara all the way back in 2014 and when their day finally arrived, it was well worth the wait. the day went off without a hitch, with a potential torrential thunderstorm minding its own business and a backdrop at bear creek resort that was perfectly picturesque. jd and sara kept their end of the deal, looking the part, and some, making the day a huge success.
i have known sean for a good bit of time, evening rooming with him for a year in college. having said that, i commend laura on her quest to live the rest of her life with him. in all seriousness, both sean and laura got themselves a winner, and they pretty much had the perfect day in stone harbor. the two saw each other for the first time at the stone harbor bird sanctuary, and after fighting a strong sun on the beach, the day wrapped up at the reeds at shelter haven for a beautiful bay-front ceremony and a lively reception.
for the majority of their preparation, jess and her bridesmaids had beyonce as their soundtrack, setting the tone for what would become a big time wedding day. jess, with flowers braided into her hair and flowing dress, matched perfectly with the john james audubon center’s backdrop, while ryan, in his sharp three-piece suit, added to the cool of the day. whether or not it was beyonce-inspired, ryan and jess made their own version of a power couple.
saying it was hot is an understatement. with no shade and no relief from the scalding sun at luciens manor, joe and larissa pushed their way through the elements to enjoy a beautiful wedding day. it was hard to wipe the smile off larissa’s face all day and joe was surely a big part of that reason.
we can start with milk and cookies at the end of the reception — a very underrated touch if i do say so myself — and go back from there. the reception at talamore country club was a display by the couple’s friends on how to break it down and have a good time. to get there, ian and oksana once again endured a drizzly day with bright umbrellas, tons of laughs and even a little help from some superheroes.
