Lovely couple, lovely location and lovely details!! If you couldn't get enough of Bekah and Marc's wedding pictures yesterday, well, you'll enjoy today's post :) Props to Bekah, her parents, the vendors and everyone else that put so much energy into making this a beautiful day for the couple. I can't thank Bekah and Marc enough for having me photograph their special day at the quaint Mathis House on the Glen St. Mary Nursery Grounds!
Don't forget to check out their slideshow link below for more fun pictures!
Bekah and Marc's beautiful southern wedding was certainly charming! I knew from the start when I talked to this couple about their wedding that it is going to be very detail-oriented :) Sure enough, their country/southern-themed wedding at the Mathis House on the Glen St. Mary Nursery Grounds was such an eye candy for me as a photographer! There were so many sweet and fun little details that made this wedding gorgeous! Bekah looked stunning herself with a one thin-strap dress. I love her shoes and jewelry, but most of all I'm in love with her colorful bouquet!! Her bridal party wore this lovely deep purple dress, and they all looked so good next to Bekah :) Marc and his guys looked very sharp and handsome as well. It was a great day on their wedding despite of the rainy weather forecast! It did pour before the ceremony, but for only about five minutes--God is good :)
I've been looking forward to share the slideshow with you guys! The couple just got back from their honeymoon, and they already got to view the slideshow-yay! So get ready for some sweetness to your day, and be sure to check out their slideshow below.
PS - Just like what I did for Adriana & Scott's wedding in Mexico, I will post a Part 2 for Bekah and Marc's wedding detail shots tomorrow! Stay tuned for that one :)
I loooove this wheelbarrow! What a cute idea for their country-themed wedding!
Gorgeous lighting and gorgeous couple!
I may be bias..but these are my favorite people at the wedding! You may remember my past wedding couple, Kelly & Nate, Tiffany & Josh, and the family portrait session I did for Kim :)
THEIR LOVE STORY: How did you guys meet?
We went through management orientation together at Target right after we both graduated from college. How did he propose?
I (Marc) took her out on the jet ski at my parent's cottage in Michigan. After driving around a little we decided to jump in for a swim in the middle of the lake. That's when I pulled out the ring and asked her.

Snuggle up on the couch with the dogs and watch a movie.

Hard to choose between his sense of humor and intelligence.
What do you love about her so much?
Her sense of compassion and determination
What is your wedding invitation like and where did you go to get it done?
The invitation is an actual thin piece of wood. The design was birdcages/hearts hanging from a tree. My (Bekah's) mom found them online.
What are your wedding colors and why did you guys choose that color palette?
Colorful! I have never had a favorite color, just love lots of color together. Also was going for a wildflower look so that worked out perfect.

What are you looking forward to in the future together?
I'm having a wedding fever today and can't wait for my first 2011 wedding in March! Haha, with all of the family and baby sessions I've posted on the blog, I promise that I also photo-shoot weddings (just in case you're new to my blog) ;) With that said, I'm posting detail shots from the wedding I helped photo-shoot back in November with David Craver of Sublime Studios. The wedding ceremony and reception took place at Palm Valley Gardens, and I can't wait to photograph another wedding there in a couple of weeks! The venue is beautiful!! :) The bride's wedding planner, Tanya Hendricks of Southern Charm Events did a great job on decorating the place and creating an ambient yet fun atmosphere. I look forward to working with her again for Bekah & Marc's wedding in April!
XOXO
It was so cold on that day but the lighting was beautiful just like the bride and groom! :)
I'm loving the bridesmaid's dresses and their bouquets :)
Here is Tanya in the blue top with her team.
Not sure what this was for, but it surely added some charm to the whole wedding decor.
I looove how there was a basket of goodies just for the children at the wedding. Very thoughtful!
The sand dollars had Bible verses pasted on the back. Pretty neat idea :)
Palm Valley Gardens in Ponte Vedra is truly a beautiful venue. I have two weddings there this year, and I can't wait :)
