And I will warn you, this is likely going to be my longest blog post EVER!   I found it impossible to include every picture I initially wanted to blog, and impossible to really portray all the important details.  Kimberly clearly poured her heart & soul into this wedding because absolutely everything was meaningful!  In fact, I’ve had to save most of it for the video because that’s the only way I’ll be able to show everything I want

Tiger Point was the perfect setting for this “Winter Wonderland” wedding – and I will be sure to update this with a list of the vendors because they did an amazing job!

Christian’s Groom’s Cake was so impressive, the detail was amazing!

Check out these flowers, they fit so perfectly with her Winter Wonderland Wedding!

And by the way, I could go on and on about what an absolutely BEAUTIFUL day it was!  Yes, it was cold (and they were jealous I had on a jacket!), but it was insanely gorgeous that day.  A definite sign of good things for these two!

And if you think this is amazing… wait till you see the sunset later!

This ceremony was so amazing.  Christian’s father officiated the wedding ceremony, outside on the covered area at Tiger Point.  We had the gorgeous sun beaming in on one side, and I don’t think there was a dry eye in the place.

This family was absolutely amazing.  Every one of them.  It was an absolutely moving moment.

Immediately after the ceremony, we spent just a few FREEZING MOMENTS out on the Tiger Point Golf Course under an absolutely amazing sunset, that seemed to last forever… just for us.

What’s absolutely amazing is that not only did this sunset give us a beautiful glow the entire time at the end of the wedding ceremony, the entire time for our pictures outside, but it also spilled into the reception area in an amazing way for all the first dances.  Here, Kimberly is with her oldest son, who also walked her down the aisle.  This is a moment that would make any mamma’s heart melt

Finally!  The slideshow update!  Also – I have to give the story behind the music selection for their wedding slideshow!  Remember that video that was posted EVERYWHERE about the bridal party & couple that came dancing down the aisle for the wedding?  (This one)  Well, I’ve been waiting all year for one of my couples to do something like this!  Well, let me tell you – Kimberly & Christian didn’t do exactly this – but it was a very awesome spin on it!  After a remarkably emotional, personal ceremony filled with many many tears of happiness & joy, they kissed & exited down the aisle dancing to “Say Hey – I love you”!  Even Christian’s dad, who officiated the ceremony, gave a pretty good performance.  It was such an awesome way to end a beautiful ceremony!  And hey, I loooove that song, so it was really exciting!  So I thought it was not only appropriate, but darn near necessary to set their slideshow to that song!  And I have to tell you, I will forever think of Kimberly & Christian & this wedding every single time I hear this song (which is at least 3 times a week now that I go to Zumba class! hahaha)

So here it is… in all it’s glory, and I apologize for not having a video of the actual dance down the aisle

And finally – if you’re considering having your wedding at Tiger Point, it’s absolutely beautiful.  Check it out – even if you’re just in the area & want to do a little golfing.  It’s just a hop & a skip away from Pensacola, so it’s pretty convenient

The wedding took place at a quaint little church out in Pensacola Beach, with the reception also taking place on Pensacola Beach.  The rain was raising pretty high, and the waves crashing onto the road, but that didn’t stop us!  In fact, it was really important that it not stop us, since it was practically a destination wedding and they’d travelled MANY hours to get here!

So here’s a little teaser… stay tuned for more!  We’ll start with a really awesome one showcasing the stormy weather & beach in the background.

Pensacola Beach is a fabulous location, with so much to offer.  It’s hustling & bustling during the summer months, but if you want to see it in all it’s glory while it’s a little more calm – the off season months are the time to do it.  Pensacola Beach has just about everything you can imagine though, with shopping & dining & tourist attractions abound!  Check it out next time you’re in town!
