Without further ado I present Stephanie & Peter Boyle, married April 12th, 2008 at the Payne family home in Titusville, Florida.

It was a scorching hot day in Florida April 12th and I think we were all a bit fried from the sun at our session at Daytona Beach the day before. Sara and I split up that morning. I dropped her off with the guys at Payne’s house and headed over to Stephanie’s grandparents house where she was starting her day.

Stephanie’s beautiful dress is a Watters design and it looked incredible on her. She finished off her look with a handmade purple sash. Stunning.

When all of the hair and makeup were finished we headed over to a local country club for Stephanie and Peter’s first meeting. The club was gracious enough to allow the use of their grounds for a few images and even lent us a golf cart so Stephanie didn’t have to trudge out onto the fairway on foot.

Their wedding was held in Stephanie’s parents’ (and neighbor’s!) backyard set in a lush Floridian green scape. It was a beautiful event surrounded by friends, family and children. A family friend drove in from out of state to perform their marriage ceremony. The kids were adorable!

I have to share a trick with you that I learned from their wedding – Having trouble coaxing your flower girls and ring bearers down the aisle? Solution – lollipops. Yes, lollipops. Bribe them! Someone came up with the brilliant idea to use 4 color coordinated suckers as lures for the kids. They were stuck into the ground at the head of the aisle and boy did the kids perform!

I hope you enjoy their wedding slideshow. All of their images will be online soon at Pictage.

Last week Sara and I flew down to Orlando, Florida for Stephanie and Peter’s amazing wedding. Here’s a slideshow from the engagement session we did at Daytona Beach Friday morning before the rehearsal. The weather was amazing both Friday and Saturday. It seems I get in trouble everywhere I go. I had Stephanie and Peter playing around in the water under the pier and not 20 minutes into shooting there we hear a broadcast announcement from the lifeguard PA system ‘There is no water activity allowed under the pier. If you’re under the pier please leave.’ Well then. Good thing I was finished anyway!

Stay tuned for the wedding slideshow, it’s up next!
