It was a sunny but chilly day on Friday down in Sarasota’s Bayfront Park. On a peninsula in the middle of the marina, underneath the beautiful banyan trees, Christina & Brian exchanged their vows in a joyful ceremony in front of their friends and family. People passing by stopped to listen to the guitarist playing love songs and stayed to witness the sacred event taking place there in the park.

Following the ceremony, Christina & Brian celebrated their marriage at the Pelican Pointe Country Club. Every elegant detail in rich, bold purple and black set the tone for a classic, memorable reception. Then enter the newlyweds for their announcement and first dance… to “Don’t Cha” by the Pussycat Dolls! It was definitely THE BEST first dance I have ever seen! It was a very lively reception, and Matt and I were pretty exhausted by the end of the night. I’m used to long days, but these two wore me out! That’s how you know when you’ve really had a good time!

We spent the rest of the weekend in Orlando celebrating my 30th birthday (more to come on that later). For now, here’s a peak at Christina & Brian’s memorable day…
