Not long after I got the call to photograph Audie & Melanie’s wedding in the Gulf Shores of Alabama the BP oil catastrophe happened. You bet we were all watching the news threads daily for updates. A week prior I did their Engagement Session and things were still looking good. Fortunately the beaches were not affected Memorial weekend for their celebration!
Melanie LOVES the beach! The morning of each wrote a special message to each other in a bottle.
The morning was very emotional and full of sentiment!
Melanie & Audie decided to do a “First Look” Session. My favorite!!!
This makes me smile.
Melanie was a radiant Bride!
Vibrant floral color choices really enhance beach weddings!
Audie chose to wear traditional Philippine attire. Stunning!
So beautiful together, aren’t they?
Melanie’s something blue was worn on her feet! The barefoot sandals were crafted by Tina, Moon Twinkles.
It was a perfect day for a beach wedding.
The ceremony and reception took place at the Dunes & Indies Condominiums in Gulf Shores, Alabama.
Audie’s mom prepared an amazing meal of traditional foods. Yum! I normally don’t get seconds at weddings, but this day I did!
Thank you Audie & Melanie for including me in your celebration! More images may be viewed in the gallery.
