Double Tree Hilton Wedding Captured by Middle Ga Wedding Photographer

The starting plans for Ashley Stimpson and Brandon Parker's wedding was to have a short ceremony of vows on the beach. So they picked, Double Tree Hilton in Cocoa Beach Oceanfront , it was their venue of choice for the scenic beach frontage it boast; however, it poured cats and dogs the whole day before and with the forecast promising more rain, they chose to have an indoor ceremony instead. The staff at the hotel worked together quickly setting up an empty banquet room with the arbor decorated with star fish, and chairs draped with nautical rope and more star fish. It turned out well for the gathering of guest. I thought it would be a challenge taking pictures inside but the lighting turned out to be perfect also
During the preparation time everyone was filled with excitement; Ashley and her mother became especially emotional the closer it got to the ceremony. I got some very amusing photos of the two's shenanigans in the dressing room, and when dad arrived to check on the bride,   Ashley was overcome with emotion and began to cry; her cup runneth over with anticipation, excitement and the emotional realization that she was getting married.

Brandon too seemed a bit aloof when I arrived to take pictures of him and the men. They had bottles of Jack Daniel's and other brands opened to calm their nerves and it was obvious that some were very 'happy', but all were very charming; even the best man after I calmed his fears that I would not loose the wedding rings when I requested them for pictures.  He  took his job very seriously; in all my years of doing wedding I never had anyone guard rings as tenaciously as he. I assured him he could out run me, therefore making myself very catch-able if I chose to run off with the rings.
For the most part, I photograph in a very romantic style that is embellish through simple posing.  But Ashley and Brandon requested no special posing for them, just the traditional pictures of family and wedding party.  There is nothing wrong with traditional pictures, as Ashley and Brandon's wedding proves, they were both natural and relaxed in front of the camera that made picture taking easy as pie and picture perfect. Their expressive love and passion for one another is quite obvious and apparent in every photograph.
Thank you Ashley and Brandon for allowing me the pleasure of photographing your wedding and chronicling your love. Together you make a charming couple, may you have many blissful years of love.
Welcome, Mr. & Mrs Brandon Parker, February 23, 2014.

I know you enjoyed watching the nuptials vows exchanged between these two.  I captured every emotion Ashley experienced that day. My camera went on a roller coaster ride with her until it finally coasted into party mode where Ashley got down! The whole wedding was full of love, laughter and gaiety and even a little suspense when the EMT's arrived to treat one family member who also had a happy ending.
