{Jessica & Wes @ The Florida Aquarium}

From the minute we arrived at the Marriott Waterside, Jessica and Wes' wedding day was full of so much joy and excitement.  Jessica's bridesmaids had secretly stolen one of her shoes (which were fabulous Badgely Mischkas by the way:-) for Wes to write a fun little note on the bottom.  We had planned a first look with just the 2 of them under the canopy in the wetlands.  Wes asked me how he should react and I say what I always do which is "just do your thing and soak in the moment":-) The minute they saw each was just the sweetest!  The sea turtles and sharks made an appearance for their bridal party photos and ceremony in the coral reef room.  Just before Jessica was going to walk down the aisle to meet Wes, the penguins were set to go but had to have a little bit of help from their trainer.  We always get to do some photos with the couple and the penguins right after the ceremony and they are just so freaking cute I want to grab one and take it home with me! The reception was decorated with silver chivari chairs, ivory lanterns, and nautical accents.  Entrance, dance, toasts, cake and before we knew it, they were exiting to sparklers!  Congrats Jessica and Wes we so enjoyed spending the day with you guys!!! xoxoxo
