Inside the Wedding Planner's White Book

Okay so we have been a little behind on our "Inside the Wedding Planner's White Book" but, this week we are back to feature Phillip Lloyd from Phillip Lloyd Photography. We just love Phillip as a person and photographer. His work speaks for itself and you may have already seen it in several publications like The Knot, Brides Florida and most recently Weddings Unveiled. Phillip's love of photography is apparent in every photo he captures. When a photograph has the ability to speak to you and stir up your emotions, then you know you have been touched by an artist. Phillip is a true artist! Enjoy learning more about the man behind the artist!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with two of the most amazing individuals, Martha and Watson. When we first met, I just fell in love with them because they were such a special couple. I am so thankful that they selected me to help bring their wedding dreams to life!

Their wedding was an absolute day full of love and romance! There were flowers and candles everywhere! Martha loved pink and purple and we managed to pull together the most beautiful pink and purple wedding of all time! The ceremony began in front of a gorgeous backdrop of orchids and crystals draping behind them. Martha was welcomed with an aisle full of candles and petals. As the two of them spoke their own written vows to each other, you could just feel the love between these two soul mates. As guests entered the cocktail hour, they were welcomed by the MARSONTINI, which was the signature drink of the evening and delicious passed hors d'oeuvres provided by Olympia Catering. As the introductions began into the reception, the bridal party danced in to the sounds of "Let's Groove Tonight" by Earth, Wind and Fire; which set the stage for the events that followed! Martha and Watson entered grooving on to the dance floor to the beat of "Before I Let Go" by artist Frankly and Beverly and Maze. They continued grooving into their first dance to a choreographed upbeat routine then slowing it down to Luther Vandroos' "So Amazing", which is exactly how we describe this couple!

Everyone enjoyed dinner and dancing the whole night long! It was definitely a day to always remember full of love, passion and romance! Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Ducatel! We wish you all of the happiness you both deserve! Thank you for sharing one of the most important days with us! :)

We can't wait to show you the highlight reel from Voila Cinematic, the videographers, who captured the live emotion of the day! Check back soon!

There were so many people who added to the beauty of this day and we couldn't thank them enough for all of their hard work to make this wedding what it was.
