There was no other location that would suit their wedding better than one where their toes were in the soft sand and the tide brought in the sweet crashing waves. Forrest grew up surfing those same waves and after moving to St. John to enjoy the sunshine and the ocean there, he met Amy after a mistaken identity where Amy thought Forrest and his brother where Hanson. Who would have thought that "Umm Bop" and the ocean waves would have brought two people together. After a long distance romance they met together under the shining sun, with the salty wind at the their back to say their vows in front of family and friends. Amy and Forrest thank you for allowing me to document such a wonderful moment in your lives. Congratulations on your new business venture, in St. John! if I can ever convince Todd to take a week off we are coming down to do some diving and snorking on your new boat!
I'm always blown away by Barry, with Blossoms Events his amazing design work always leaves me speachless at weddings!
I was almost physically doing cartwheels when Forrest and Amy set aside sometime after the wedding to do a quick session on the beach. I loved how free they where from worry about their clothes and just let loose and had tons of fun. And yes we all got a bit wet but quickly dried off by the time we got to the reception.
After the beach ceremony we all headed to Forrest's childhood home. Where there was lots of wonderful toast and sweet emotion.
One of the best tasting cakes I've had in ages. I typically don't eat cake at my weddings because I'd be the size of a bus if I ate that much cake. But this Jim Smeal cake, that I've heard talked about in countless wedding magazines such as Weddings Unveiled magazine, was more than I could walk away from. My mouth is watering right now thinking about it.
More of Blossoms beautiful designs.
Many guest headed out to the dock to watch the sunset over the marsh.
Loved the photobooth and I loved even more Amy's lime green cowboy boots and shorter version of her bridal dress that she changed into!
