Tag: LaPlaya Wedding photography

As you can see, this was such a wonderful event to witness. Liliana and Victor had two wedding ceremonies at LaPlaya: a Chinese tea ceremony followed by a western ceremony overlooking the beach. During the tea ceremony, the bride and groom kneel before their parents and serve them tea as a way to express thanks. In return, the couple is given a red envelope symbolizing good luck. After that we stole away to a leafy path for a first sight. It must have been nice for them to have a moment to themselves between ceremonies! And how about those gorgeous flowers? What a lovely day.

Venue: LaPlaya Beach & Golf Resort | Dress: Kleinfeld | Floral: Botanicals on the Gulf | Band: The Brett Foreman Band | Hair & Makeup: Salon Tease

These next wedding photos we have to share are of Lauren and Ian’s pretty day at LaPlaya Beach & Golf Resort. The clouds threatened to rain on the parade, but of course the sun came shining through for the ceremony on the lawn. Capturing this couple’s day was absolutely enjoyable. Lauren and Ian are such kind and genuine people, always smiling. During their engagement, Ian had broken his leg, and I believe had been off his crutches for a matter of weeks!

We had the chance to work alongside Hope Henderson, who does wonders with makeup. Check out her site here. One of Lauren’s bridesmaids was our friend Amanda of Grace Lakes Florist. The flowers were an especially beautiful part of the wedding, they did such fantastic work. Lauren’s bridal bouquet was composed of incredibly fragrant garden roses. The bridesmaid’s bouquets were surrounded by large dark leaves that provided such a nice contrast to the pink flowers. Colorful centerpieces punctuated the reception tables.

Music for the cocktail hour and the reception were done by none other than the Brett Foreman Band. (Who, by the way, we love love love.) The toasts given at the reception were especially fun to listen to because they were all very heartfelt. Guests at this event also win the prize for taking the most photos in the fotobooth to date. Over one thousand! Notice our shiny new marching band hat, found at an antique store. Lauren and Ian, thank you for including us in your day, we wish you all the best!

As promised, we want to show you Jen and Justin’s wedding foto video shot at LaPlaya. The shadows of the clouds moving over the Gulf is a bit mesmerizing. These little movies are so much fun for us to make, and especially fun to watch as they come together. After a wedding, Karl and I flip through the thousands of photos on our screen very quickly, and they way it suddenly animates is magic. At this reception, we had the fotobooth and foto video happening side by side to catch the spelling shots.
