Jackie & Antoine | Wedding
Thursday, June 11, 2009

Jackie was so adorably nervous before her walk down the aisle. She kept saying that as soon as she saw Antoine, she would be okay. This post is going to include more pictures than usual because Jackie did indeed see Antoine before the ceremony, which was amazing! For Jackie, the First Look eased her nerves, gave her time to relax before the ceremony, and since we had gotten mostly all of the portraits out of the way beforehand, her and Antoine where able to take part in their cocktail hour. Jackie and Antonie were married at the Ritz-Carlton Sarasota. Thanks Tim Co. for having me shoot this wonderful wedding with you! I had a blast, as per always, with you.

Here are some of my favorites from the First Look. Antoine was also anxiously wanting to see his bride.




Checking out the bling!


These moments where unposed and unrehearsed


Portrait time! All the family and bridal party pictures were done after the First Look and before the ceremony. Awesome! I have to say this was one of the most chill, relaxed weddings I have attended and I attribute that to the First Look.




We shot anywhere and everywhere at the Ritz!




So pretty!








And now finally!...after all their lovely pictures, the ceremony!


The ceremony was held on a private courtyard at the Ritz-Carlton. Check out the competition :-)


I love how Jackie was clutching her hands in anticipation while Antoine removed the wedding band from it's box. This is the real deal folks!


Yay!


Just a couple more after the ceremony!




I have to tell you guys about their AH-MAY-ZING DJ/Wedding Singer/Overall KickingButtAndTakingNames Entertainer, Jonathan Cortez (his site is still under construction). Jackie's parents hired Jonathan after hearing him sing at a country club in Sarasota. Jonathan blew all of the guests away, including myself and Tim Co. His singing is just ridiculous (in a good way!). Jonathan plays tracks in between his live singing so I had to stop several times throughout the night, look up from my camera towards his booth, and double check whether it was Robin Thicke singing through the speakers or Jonathan. He was just THAT good. Definitely not your mama's wedding singer for sure, but your mama will love him!


At the end of the night, Jonathan asked everyone out to the dance floor for one last song and he brought down the house!



Another day, another blog post!
