Longboat Key Wedding / Tampa Wedding Photographer

These two lovebirds met next to a fountain in a San Diego park, with their dogs in tow.  They discovered a mutual like for the outdoors, cooking, and trying new breweries and restaurants (and a lot of love for their doggies – of course!).  A few years later, after a romantic surprise proposal in front of the bride’s family in Peru, they began planning their wedding in California!  Just a few months later, however, a big health scare put the brakes on those wedding plans.  Not sure whether they would get through such an ordeal – they called off their California wedding.  After making it through the worst together and almost back to 100% again – they decided to plan a destination wedding in Florida to be closer to family!  With a derby hat twist, pretty pastel wedding colors, and fantastic weather – it was a such a beautiful wedding and very happy day.  Here’s the full blog post:
