Imagine this… you are from the north east. You plan a gorgeous Florida destination wedding at an amazing beach resort. Sand, sun, palm trees, and…. gale force winds and rain! I arrived at the Ritz Carlton Amelia Island and promptly went outside to survey the situation. I knew when I could barely open the doors to the back lawn due to the wind that we were not going be able to be outside. Ritz Carlton had already prepared for this by setting up a few banquet rooms for the ceremony. Here’s the thing, it didn’t slow Courtney and Brett down one bit. Their love brought them to that day for one thing… to get married! No bridezilla moments, no pouting about the weather. Just look at Courtney’s excitement as she approaches Brett for the first time on their wedding day. They could have been in a blizzard! Their love was all that mattered on this day. We had a great time and we wish Courtney and Brett the best for their new life together.
