Sirata Resort destination wedding - St. Pete Beach, FL - Melissa & Josh

Josh and Melissa are young and fun and they make a great couple. They are high school sweethearts, who after seven years, tied the knot in beautiful Florida.

They opted for a destination wedding to occur on the day of their seventh anniversary. Although the wedding day was a very rainy, the wedding celebration was wonderful. Close family and friends had travelled all the way from Green Bay and other parts of the country to participate in their beautiful ceremony and fun reception. I mean, this family knows how to have a great time!  :)

As something borrowed, Melissa chose to use her sister's tiara.

As you already know, that Friday was a little bit rainy. This was the only spot where we could fit eight people, keep them dry and still show off at least one characteristic of the Sunshine State, the palm trees.

Reception ballroom was decorated with the peacock theme in mind... And it looked great.

At the end of the dinner, we noticed the sun came out. We got out of the building as fast as we could. I have to hand it to Melissa... it wasn't too easy to navigate through all the rain puddles. We disregarded the occasional light sprinkle to get some great sunny Florida photos.

Thank you for allowing me into your family's life for the second time around. First it was Renee's (sister) wedding two years ago and now Melissa's. I am grateful and happy to have such wonderful clients as the School ladies (and gentlemen) :)

Thank you. Dziekuje!
