Rosemary Beach Florida wedding photography | Shelley & Don 3.27.10

Having just returned from Santa Monica, CA doing an engagement session, I immediately left for Rosemary Beach, FL to photograph Shelley and Don’s destination wedding in Rosemary Beach, FL over the March 26-28 weekend. Shelley and Don are both residents of Baton Rouge, LA but they fell in love with the quaint community near Destin, FL. I’d never been to Rosemary Beach prior to the wedding but now I have good reason to return. It’s basically set up like a movie set complete with people strolling in the park with their dogs and tossing balls to one another.

The coverage began with a rehearsal dinner Friday night at Tuscany Italian Bistro Destin, FL. 36178 Emerald Coast Pkwy Destin, FL 32541. The food was AWESOME! But even better was the company and the stories Shelley and Don’s closest friends and family shared about them. There were tears, laughter, and more tears. Can I just say that I absolutely LOVE photographing rehearsal dinners?!!

The wedding was held on Saturday, March 27, 2010 at Rosemary Beach’s beautiful chapel-like Town Hall building near the Western Green. The reception was on the Western Green. Of course the lighting was perfect for the 4pm ceremony. I adore late afternoon lighting and it only got better after the ceremony. The reception was held under tents and at one point just around sunset I asked the couple if I could make some portraits of them alone on the beach. They were totally excited about it and we milked the light until there was no more.

Video was provided by CF Weddings and a preview of the wedding video will be online shortly and will be linked to this blog posting. It’s gonna rock so be on the lookout for that within a week.

Enjoy the colors and details as much as I did. Leave your feedback if you so desire.
