Emily + Daniel : Tarpon Lodge Wedding Part II in Pine Island Florida

Continued from Emily and Daniels’ Wedding Part I!

Kicking things off today with my faaaaaaaaaaaavorite. :)

See that alter? I could have told you it was Lee Forrest’s magic just by looking at it. (Seriously- If you’re in Central Florida and in need of a floral wizard for your wedding, do yourself a favor and meet with Lee! The only thing we love more than Lee’s work is Lee himself!)

For those of you worried that seeing your husband before the ceremony will take some of the emotion away when you walk down the aisle, Emily was a beautiful tearful mess during the walk with her daddy. :)

The ceremony was absolutely perfect, even though their officiant forgot to tell their guests to sit down! :x

Teary brides are my favorite!! :)

Can I have another favorite? Good. :)

My favorite best man speeches are always that rare but wonderful occasion when the groom’s father doubles as best man. :)

Nope. That’s not my sister. Nooooope. ;)

Because nothing makes us happier on wedding days than some past couple love! :) Pretty sure Keith was giving Lauren a tough time for her popped collar bridesmaid dress. :)

Emily’s Dad’s tear running down her back? In the almost 200 weddings we’ve gotten to be a part of, this is my favorite father/daughter photo, hands down. :)

Gotta give some love to Sandy, Emily’s sweet momma! If you’re in Florida and Puff n’ Stuff catered your event, there’s a good chance you worked with this gorgeous lady.

Emily and Daniel, we can’t thank you enough for letting us be a part of your day. :)

Emily + Daniel : Tarpon Lodge Wedding Part I in Pine Island Florida

July 2, 2013 by Jensey 9 Comments

Emily found us because she and her best friend Lauren were suite-mates with my little sister Amelia in the UCF Adpi house. :) Back in the day we did a session with Amelia and her 3 roommates as her birthday gift, not having any idea that some day we’d end up photographing all three girls’ weddings in the future!

I have so much love for this wedding. If you close your eyes and think of the quintessential Floridian wedding, Emily and Daniel’s photos should pop up in your mind! Gorgeous couple, palm trees galore, perfect cool breeze from the beach view, a mosquito here and there… And there and there. ;) Emily and Daniel’s ceremony and reception were held at Tarpon Lodge in Pine Island, which provided the perfect “old Florida” feel Emily wanted as the scene for her wedding.

Shortly after the rehearsal on their wedding eve, Emily and Daniel’s families and bridal party (and photographers!) boarded a ferry to their rehearsal dinner…

… Yep- We took a ferry to dinner. :)

When we got off the ferry we were in Cabbage Key, which supposedly is where Jimmy Buffet wrote Cheeseburger in Paradise. We didn’t have cheeseburgers, but I can most definitely vouch for the “paradise” part. :)

Emily and Daniel’s families were some of the sweetest we’ve met yet, and they love the heck out of this couple!

Ever been to Cowboys in Orlando? You can thank Daniel’s family! :)

Emily and Daniel had this photo greeting guests as they entered Tarpon Lodge– I took it when Emily was the maid of honor at Lauren Paige and Keith’s wedding! :)
