I 've posted a few of the following photos previously on my Facebook page. You can always get an advance look of my recent photo shoots by liking my page over there. Blog posts take a little longer to prepare, so the full post always comes later than the Facebook sneak peeks............ So, here we go. This wedding is one of my smallest, most intimate and beautiful in every way weddings I photographed.  The guests included the bride's son, the couple's parents, and Chaplin Secret & his wife, Pat. That's it! And it was perfect! I have to say, this wedding ranks up there with one that will forever have have a place in my heart. Michele is from Connecticut, relocating to South Florida with her now husband, Ron. They had searched for a beautiful, intimate Chapel & location for their ceremony. And, of course, they fell in love with Community Chapel of Melbourne Beach. Who wouldn't? (So thankful Melbourne Beach is my home and community. You know, I hope I live here for my entire life and leave a little bit of a legacy/history for my family......) The Community Chapel was built in 1892 and it is amazing that is continues to be here with our crazy hurricanes! It has an interesting history, so the link above can tell you all about life in 1892! Not-so-easy!

Ron is a retired military officer and (twice) Iraq war veteran. What I noticed, throughout the ceremony + photos, is how he cares for his Michele! They are perfect together. I  can see it.

Just had to do one of these photos out front.......It was hot, it was sunny, it was midday, but we were determined.

fun......passionate......fierce.......these two

Just a classic beauty. I love how timeless this photo is......

Future brides, notice the finished edging on the veil. A must for blowing in the wind effect. This gives the veil some weight. Otherwise, unfinished tulle will just blow into the shape of a long ponytail. Not good!

Don't stress if you can't do your outdoor formals at the perfect time of day. Again, this was midday so we just scouted out some shady places. Completely do-able. 

So, once we had captured every shot we wanted, it was time to have some fun!

And that we did, because, these two? Fun just comes natural! Michele & Ron, wishing you a beautiful life together.......forever.
