Wow the weather that day was acting a little crazy! Despite the dark lurking clouds you see in most of the pictures… it held out! It was actually kinda nice to have a breeze and not the sun blaring down on us. I think the emerald colored water and big beautiful dark clouds enhanced all of the photos! The whole event took place at Pensacola beach. The ceremony was on the beach and the reception was at a really fabulous beach house. It worked out perfect! It never rained until we were at the reception.
Nicole wore a beautiful dress that fit her perfect and Justin wore his uniform. The ceremony was filled with laughter and tears. The officiant read the story of how they met and it was rather comical and made us all laugh. You can’t help ,but just be so extremely happy for these two. I just met them and I couldn’t stop smiling at how sweet they were and so cute! Once the family portraits were done…we had so much fun just the three of us playing along the waters edge. We really did play around. You can see that they both enjoy a good laugh and were very playful.
I just can’t say enough about the atmosphere…such loving people…friendly and very accommodating. Nicole has a very big family and a lot of nieces and a nephew…they just adore and love their Aunt and New Uncle to pieces.
The food was yummy and spicey! Just the way I like it! If your ever in Pensacola stop by Jerry’s Cajun Cafe & Catering. Justin and Nicole were introduced at the reception and entered in through a sword arch. I had never seen it before, so it was great for me to be able to capture that moment for them! Talk about wanting to cry..Nicole’s sister gave a beautiful toast and spoke about their closeness and how it was being a twin. Like I said…just a very heart warming…loving and fun day! Justin and Nicole’s first dance was to ” Our Love is here to stay” by Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong. Thank you Justin and Nicole for allowing me to share in your special day. Many Blessings to you both! On with the show……
