Rebecca and Walt's wedding took place on a rainy, stormy day, May 16th, 2009. They came to Florida for their destination wedding by the water and guests came from all over the place too. It would turn out to be fate that everyone happened to be staying at the hotel because let's just say that after the ceremony and before the reception, everyone was in severe need of a change of clothes!
Rebecca and Walt did a "first look" where they saw each other before the wedding. I've already blogged that so to see them just go to the first look category and take a peek.
Rebecca and Walt, we could not have asked for a better outcome from your wedding. The emotions, laughter and happiness you gave us put so much energy into the day. Your love for one another shone brightly through the clouds, thunder and lightning. We wish you the very best in your life and love for one another and we're truly honored we were able to capture your amazing day!
As always, there's tons of photos! I am horrible about updating my website so this is the best way for everyone to see mini-complete weddings.
Hope you enjoy the pictures!
P.S. 2 more weddings and an engagement session to be blogged hopefully by tomorrow!

These first few photos are right after we did the first look. Doing a first look allows the couple tons of time together to get photos with one another while they still look pretty! We also did all of the family formals before the ceremony and this allowed everyone to go straight to the reception and party!

Rebecca and Walt were married out on the beach area of the beautiful Grand Hyatt. Their reception was in the Hyatt's ballroom.
A very stormy ceremony
Everyone is still smiling though
And everyone got DRENCHED!
Breaking of the glass:
Reception time!!
They had orange lighting accenting the room. It truly was beautiful.
Since it poured on the ceremony, the DJ played "raindrops keep falling on my head.." for the couples grand entrance
Some of the awesome moments during family formals! I truly wish they could all be just like this:
And a couple of comments guests wrote in the guest book that struck me as funny!
The traditional Hora
I think some went up his nose. Poor guy! *giggles*
Bride down. I repeat, bride down. Poor Rebecca, she fell so much that day. But when she saw the photos, she just rolled in laughter.
The best man and Walt being oh so silly:
And there's nothing particularily amazing about these next couple shots except for the man in them. Onno was a sweet man who unfortunately passed away shortly after the wedding. I was so happy that we got so many great photos that had Onno in them as this was the last time many people ever saw him. May he rest in peace.
That's all folks. Until next time...
