Rebecca and Joel's wedding day was one of those weddings that made my jaw hurt the next day from the amount of smiling I did! They were blessed with beautiful weather on a sunny January day here in Florida at the beautiful Protea Wedding Barn in Ocala.
Blessed Magnolia served as wedding planning and coordination for their day, which means ONE thing....a flawless wedding day! We love working with this incredible team!
Other incredible vendors included:
Florals - Floral Architecture
Catering - La Casella
Venue - Protea Weddings and Events
Videography - The Garrs
Beauty - Angel Rodriguez Hair & Makeup
Mary from Floral Architecture crafted the most beautiful florals using these toffee colored roses! I loved the subtle touch of color they added to the day.
Rebecca and Joel's daughter was a main character in their day, and it was very important to them both she feel included! That took no extra effort on my part because this sweet sassy girl loved taking photos, and even more loved snuggling up on mom and dad on such a special day.
Remington even did her own first look with Dad, and we were all sobbing by the end of it. SO SWEET.
That little scrunchy nosed eyes closed daddy hug is just THE BEST.
The ceremony spaced was adorned with more of those beautiful toffee roses and white draping, and faced the beautiful landscape that Protea has to offer.
Joel brought their daughter up for a portion of their handwritten vows, and the sentimental vows he wrote to both of "his girls" was incredibly sweet....so much crying for everyone.
And they're officially, MARRIED! The excitement in the air was palpable!
We were gifted THE MOST BEAUTIFUL sunlight for their portraits! We got to spend what felt like forever exploring the property of Protea and taking beautiful portraits of the newlyweds.
We even had some photo crashers, you will see what I mean below...
He said CHEESEEEEEEEEEEEE.
Their reception was a PARTAYYYY. I took a record number of photos during their reception because the groomsmen were GOLD for entertainment. You will just have to trust me haha.
The couple shared a private last dance, which I always love.
I know sparklers are the gold standard for exits, but I love me a bubble exit!
We were SO honored to be included in such a beautiful wedding day!
