Melissa+Chris were married on June 11, 2010 at the Grand Plaza Hotel on St. Pete Beach, FL. Their wedding was at 10:30 a.m. which was a perfect time for pictures on the beach. Our gulf coast sunsets are beautiful for late afternoon weddings but in the morning the sky is a deep blue and the water shows off its aqua green color. Melissa and Chris’s ceremony with that backdrop was absolutely beautiful! An added bonus was the fantastic light that filled the Presidential Ballroom during the reception…a photographer’s dream. I’m very much liking morning weddings!
Ricky from Rhythm Makers DJ’s kept everyone on the dance floor. Most of the bridal party knew each other from college and you could tell that they had done this party thing a few times before. The gorgeous and delicious cake was created by A Piece of Cake – Tampa.
Here are some of my fav images from their day.
