Patti & Danny's "small skinny Spanish wedding" post II : destination wedding photographer

As I mentioned previously, we were thrilled to accompany

Patti and Danny to Santiago de Compostela for their "small skinny Spanish wedding." 

I already shared a few pictures from their portrait session

at their family's charming bed and breakfast. 

Below are some of our favorite images from the wedding-day itself. 

What a beautiful and charming town!

This is in front of the cathedral where they were married.

About town...

Such a view from the park!

The chapel inside the 1000-year-old Cathedral de Santiago de Compostela. 

Back at the bed and breakfast, family and friends celebrated the newlyweds.

The first dance... for the second time. 

Guests partied well into the morning. What a night!

A special 'thank you' to Patti and Danny and their families for such hospitality. 

And to our dear friends Lisa (E-events) and Jeffrey Stoner (Stoner Video) for the referral. 

You guys are the best!

Patti & Danny's "small skinny Spanish wedding." : destination wedding photographer

I'm sure you'll remember Patti & Danny's wedding at the Ritz Carlton Orlando back in May, 

with wedding planner extraordinaire Lisa Stoner. 

The following month the newlyweds traveled to Santiago de Compostela, Spain, 

so they could have the wedding of their dreams, surround by their extended family. 

And what a treat it was for us to be along for the ride. 

The afternoon before the wedding, we spent a couple hours photographing 

around their family's bed and breakfast. 

What a BEAUTIFUL and charming location!

We'll share pictures tomorrow of their wedding ceremony and reception....

Savanna, high school senior rep

We are excited to be working with Savanna, as a senior rep for Chattanooga Christian School. 

She did great! 

Savanna's senior rep cards turned out great! Please ask Savanna for one of her cards, which you can use as a coupon for a discounted senior portrait session. 

Kelsey, high school senior. Chattanooga senior portrait photographer

We really enjoy photographing high school seniors. 

Most of them get pretty excited about their senior portrait session, 

and it's always a fun thing for us 

to share in their excitement. 

Kelsey did great, didn't she? 

Thanks, Kelsey, for spending the afternoon with us. It was a pleasure working with you!

We will of course be sharing many more high school senior sessions

throughout the coming months. 

If you are interested in scheduling a senior session, 

please contact the studio quickly to be sure and get on the calendar. 

We'll look forward to working with you! 

Carrie and her dad, Sea Island wedding, The Cloister

There's something so special about watching fathers and daughters interact on the wedding day. 

I loved following Carrie and her father's various interactions throughout the day. 

Here are two of my favorites: 

This first image was shot from the front of the church, 

down the aisle, and outside the church...the vantage point shared by the groom. 

Of course the father-daughter dance is always a sweet moment. 

As a photographer, it is truly an honor to witness and record such honest and tender moments

on one of the most significant days in a family's life. 

Carrie & Drew, The Cloister, Sea Island

On a warm summer evening in Sea Island, Georgia, 

on the eve of their wedding, 

Carrie and Drew and their friends enjoyed a delicious clam bake and BBQ dinner. 

I sure loved the setting!

Kendall & Alex, Amelia Island wedding

We loved photographing Kendall & Alex's wedding on Amelia Island in June. 

What a fun-loving couple, and such a great group of friends! 

I'm happy to share a couple favorites.

Stunning bride

What a great first look...

Occasionally we'll notice something that would make a great image, but might require a bit of effort. Kendall read my mind, took off her shoes and started climbing. ;-) 

It was a pleasure working with Meghan Cease from M. Elizabeth Events, 

as she orchestrated Kendall and Alex's wedding to perfection. 

Details, details, details... Patti & Danny at the Ritz Carlton Grande Lakes

It's all about the details. And no where is that more obvious than at the Ritz. 

Ritz Carlton weddings are always a delight! 

Patti and Danny had some of the funnest decor details we had seen in a while. 

Patti and her wedding planner Lisa Stoner, as well as designer Ian Prosser, 

did a fabulous job executing such an elegant event.

Patti & Danny, Ritz Carlton Orlando wedding

At the entrance to their wedding ceremony at the Ritz Carlton Grande Lakes 

was one of the cutest pictures I've ever seen. 

It was Patti and Danny at 5 and 6 years old wearing matching bathing suits. 

I suppose it's safe to say that the rest is history. 

I loved Patti's dress detail

Stunning bride

All day long I tried to take a bad picture and with these two I couldn't. 

Just look at them!  

And we've got another climber.  ;-)

We'll share more from this lovely wedding shortly,

 including their beautiful family wedding in Spain!

Special thanks to Lisa Stoner of E-events for executing another flawless celebration 

and assembling such a fabulous team of partners!
