I really like to blog my sessions in order. It drives me crazy otherwise! So happy that I am finally able to complete LanierStar’s May blog posts and share all the fabulous details of this wedding!
Ryan & Whitney live in Chicago, but chose to have their wedding in Jacksonville where Whitney lived while growing up. They chose TPC Sawgrass for their wedding and reception. Truly an amazing venue! The guys and gals utilized the expansive locker rooms to get ready, while enjoying wines carefully selected by the groom himself. It was a very hot day, so we made use of the inside and outside of the clubhouse when it came time to take portraits. Then we had a beautiful ceremony on the TPC lawn. Afterwards there were cocktails on the lawn and then everyone moved upstairs to the Ponte Vedra room for dinner. As they both love to travel, the tables were named after some of Whitney and Ryan’s favorite places- Key West, Oxford, South Haven, Las Vegas. The sweetheart table received the ultimate name of The Maldives. Cloud 9 kicked off the entertainment after dinner and kept the clubhouse rocking all night. I have to say they are the best live band I have worked with! After several hours of dancing and drinks – SURPRISE! – the TPC wait staff carried out trays of Krystal cheeseburgers which were quickly devoured by the crowd. (Krystal’s was a favorite stop for Whitney and friends on their way home from going out on the weekends.) Shortly thereafter the newlyweds exited through a shower of sparklers, hopped on to a golf cart headed to a hotel and then on to their amazing honeymoon!

The art by Bart Forbes is amazing! However we decided in light of recent developments we couldn’t have the ladies pose in front of the Tiger Woods painting. :) So, heeeeere’s Jack!
Ooops! I guess we did get Tiger in there, too. Here are the ladies showing some Florida Gator spirit!
