This wedding had been on my calendar for over a year! Brittany knew she wanted that 11.11.11 date and wanted to make sure she got the best vendors too. 🙂 The Yacht Club was beautiful and had an awesome view of downtown Jacksonville from across the river, so we used that a lot as the background in pictures. I love how different it looks in full afternoon sun then a few hours later with a sunset glow!

Brittany and Mark have a wonderful group of family and friends that KNOW how to party! Even with a relatively early ceremony time, at 1:11pm, the dance floor was packed and some moves were being busted. Can’t wait to put together her VideoShow, it might have to have a chapter just for uncut dance footage!

Venue: Florida Yacht Club

Florist: Kirby Holt with Blossoms Florist in Chipley, FL (850)638-7786

Cake Designer: 3 Sisters Chocolate

DJ: Michael Zavison with South Coast DJ Services

Hair and makeup artists: Rebecca & Micah with The Artist Group Salon

They wanted to do the “Peek a Boo” shot. I’ve actually never done this before! Mark hid behind the door and Brittany came out and they just clasped hands around the door before the ceremony.

Ryan getting creative:

I couldn’t decide which city picture to post, so I did two:

They had a cool photobooth set up where everyone got to take home a strip, and then they pasted another copy into a book and everyone signed around it:

So, there’s a joke in the family about Brittany – she’s a tiny thing but packs a big punch, so they nicknamed her the “600 Pound Gorilla”. Dad wanted to play a little prank on her so he got a huge pair of undies embroidered and Mark pulled them out when he went to get the garter. 😉

I usually don’t post the bouquet toss unless there’s something unique about it, and I thought this was pretty cool! Brittany had a bunch of individual roses loosely tied together so when she tossed them they separated so that everyone could catch a piece!

See what I meant about the PARTY?

Couldn’t help but post this one of Ryan as he helped Brittany tromp through the grass in those heels:

Thanks you guys!
