In November, I was granted the honor of shooting the most beautiful wedding I have ever attended to date. Stephanie (Sky Flower) and Marcus Carr have to be some of the most gorgeous people I know inside and out. This wedding was so unique! What I loved most about it was the fact that the whole wedding was DIY. From the food, the flower arrangements, the wedding dress, the alter, EVERYTHING was done by the bride and groom, with the help of friends and family. The tropical boho wedding was hosted on Treasure Island Beach FL, in a beautiful private beach house just walking distance from the shore. Marcus the groom, designed their alter out of bamboo teepees! His mother and other family members and friends worked all day in the kitchen making amazing vegetarian dishes and sweets. Stephanie grew flowers from her garden and made the arrangements into table pieces, the girl even designed her own dress out of of white lace incorporated into a vintage, flowy and beautiful design! The whole wedding and vibe was simply amazing. They had so many talented friends that were so musically adept, performing through song and dance- from wash boards, to banjos, and violins! Everyone was drinking out of mason jars with crazy straws, dancing and singing, swimming, enjoying the nice warm bon fire they had or just admiring all of the work that was put into that beach house's back yard. From hanging candle chandeliers, the "Transformation Station" (An awesome mini-teepee set up by a lovely woman named Laura Sanchez, which was a place you could get your tribal face paint on and flash tats etc.) colorful canopies hanging from tree to tree with comfortable places to sit surrounded by fluffy pillows, blankets, tiki-torches and white christmas lights. Hammocks, seashells, fire dancing, flowers, hand made signs, candles, crystals, and nothing but love in the air was probably the best I could describe this pinterest perfect wedding! Oh... well maybe you can feel as if you were there vicariously through my whimsical photographs. Enjoy! Also, congratulations again to my sweetest family- Stephanie, Marcus, and Leilani xoxo
Another thing I really loved about this wedding, was the next day! Everyone laid under the alter with blankets and towels, soaking up the sun and the sand all day long, playing bongo drums, spending time with family and friends, hula hooping, and taking awesome photos!
