Jeff & Melissa {Santa Rosa Beach Wedding Photographer}

The weather channel called for a good chance of rain on Saturday, which would not have been good for Jeff & Melissa's beach wedding in Santa Rosa Beach. We thought we were in the clear until the clouds rolled in and the bottom fell out while Melissa was getting her makeup done...





I assured Melissa this was a good thing! With Florida weather, chances are if its raining now, 45 mins from now it won't be! Sure enough, that was the case. By the time Melissa was in her dress the rain had stopped. Just in time for a beautiful ceremony.

Weddings don't typically make me tear up. This was the exception! Jeff read a beautiful note to Melissa's daughter Caroline and gave her a locket. It was one of the sweetest wedding moments I have seen!



The dark clouds loomed in the distance but stayed away long enough for the ceremony to take place and for us to capture some wonderful images of Jeff, Melissa and Melissa's darling little girl.





after all the family photos are taken and the sun is almost setting (unless of course its overtaken by clouds ;-) I like to send the rest of the wedding party in to the reception and spend a few moments with the bride & groom. Getting those stolen kisses and giving them a few minutes to reflect on the day before they go into the reception.





Then its on to the party!!!



Thanks to Jeff, Melissa & Caroline for letting me be a part of your special day on Santa Rosa Beach! It was a beautiful wedding!
