Cristin and Dan held their wedding at the picturesque Chesapeake Resort on the gorgeous island of Islamorada FL. As customary with Navy grooms, Dan and his groomsmen performed the sword ceremony, adding to an already stunning wedding.

“They had blue skies, hot pink shoes – Groom’s Request, the family dog in the Wedding Party, and one great band.” said Donna of McLaughlin Photography.

Top Palm Beach band The John Parker Band performed for the wedding ceremony, then kept the celebration going strong!

For the rest of the evening, the bride and groom were surrounded by their friends and family– just what every Bride and Groom want!

Nestled along the remote and pristine haven of silky sand and unspoiled vistas that is Amelia Island, is the impeccable Ritz Carlton Amelia Island and its breathtaking grounds. A genuine storybook setting for a wedding, which turned into reality when Stephanie & Seth celebrated their wedding ceremony and reception there recently.

Of performing at the Ritz Carlton Amelia Island, John Parker says “Entertaining at Ritz-Carlton hotels is always a flawless experience. Their unparalleled customer service and attention to detail are a perfect fit for my OCD personality (laughs). Everything is just so, and brides and their families can count, unequivocally, on having a stellar and unforgettable wedding celebration.”

Stephanie and Seth’s wedding was no exception. Featured in the Spring 2011 issue of Amelia Island Weddings, their big day was one to celebrate. With Palm Beach’s John Parker Band performing, the Bride and Groom and their guests danced the night away. “I loved the music, and the whole evening was upbeat and memorable,” Mother of the Bride Dianne later commented.

Amelia Island Photographer Holly Allain captured images while “the John Parker Band had everyone dancing” (Amelia Island Weddings p 17)!

Is YOUR Wedding Gown waterproof?

Is YOUR Wedding Gown waterproof? – does your videographer have SCUBA gear handy? – this post Wedding swim by a wedding party after a Florida Wedding in Palm Beach was caught by John Parker on iPhone video.

click to see video!

Towards the end of the video – look at the bottom of the screen. The funniest thing is the videographer complete with underwater light & complete scuba gear including mask and fins swimming in the pool. Is that extra? And I wonder, does pool water have an adverse effect on Wedding Gown preservation? 🙂

Why? (Why NOT?)

I have been to so many weddings it seems like I might know a thing or two about them.

Yet still I was reluctant to blog. Who would want to read about the weddings I had done or our thoughts about weddings generally?

But rather than continuing to ask “Why would someone want to hear about it…?” – finally I have decided, ”Why the heck not?” And here I am. For better or worse. (wow, that’s bad)

Welcome! – john
