Great couple, great church, killer reception, surrounded by friends… that equals a great wedding. Fun fact… the pianist, Don Isabel, was my son’s middle school band director. Don’s wife played flute for the wedding. The bride’s mother was Don’s substitute teacher at school. I love it when stuff like that happens. It was a blast. So, we got finished with the ceremony and I headed over to the Cummer Museum to set up for portraits before the reception starts. I headed out into the garden overlooking the St. Johns River and it looks like all hell is about to break loose. The waves in the river are big enough to surf on. My heart sank… Mary really wanted to do portraits in the garden. However, by the time the wedding party arrived and had snacks, the storm broke. The sky cleared and it was perfect! We got some great shots and then continued to party at the reception. Here’s some highlights of Mary and David’s big day.

I LOVE the strobe lit one of them back to back and the outside dancing shots are ridiculously awesome! Nice job Tom!
Love your images, as always! I really like the photos you do with the long exposure at the reception. Very cool!
