Katie and Pete got married at Bicentennial Beach on Indian Harbor Beach right before sunset. She wore Melissa Sweet, he rocked an untucked shirt and skinny black tie. There were ivory orchids in her hair and pink bridesmaids by her side. The ocean, golden in the sun, stretched out for miles behind them. Piles of shoes lined the site where guests shed their formalities to prepare for the intimate exchange of vows. During the ceremony, the sun transformed the sky from bluebird blue to elegant gold as it dipped under the horizon.

To say that we were inspired would be a huge understatement. How could we not be inspired while surrounded by such natural beauty and love? To say that we were spoiled rotten may be a better description.

Pete & Kate, thank you for sharing this day with us. Thank you for trusting in our vision. Thank you for entrusting the biggest day of your lives to us. Thank you for allowing us a glimpse into the easygoing, everlasting love you have for each other. Your happy, light-as-air, always smiling personas will stay etched in our minds forever and we will always be better photographers and people for having known you both! Have a wonderful first Christmas as man and wife!
