{Jackie & Mel @ Mahaffey Theater & The Club at Treasure Island }

The minute I walked into the bridal suite I could feel the laid back and fun vibe Jackie and her girls were having.  The girls photobombed the champaign glasses and it was just plain hilarious:-)  Jackie's mom helped her get into her lace gown which was absolutely gorgeous, and she looked stunning with the the perfect finishing touches being her cute heels with bows on the back and a long flowy veil.  Jackie and her dad had some of the sweetest moments as he saw her totally ready before getting in the limo!  The guys got ready at Jackie and Mel's house, mainly in Mel's garage, clearly because it's awesome:-) Mel gave the guys watches as gifts and he opened monogrammed cufflinks from Jackie.  Jackie walked down the long corridor outside of the Mahaffey Theater for first look with Mel and we did all their family and bridal party photos on the beautiful grounds there.  Their ceremony was in front of huge windows with accents of purple and sheer white with the waterfront as their backdrop.  Jackie and Mel are both in the event industry, and met at the The Club at Treasure Island so it was perfectly fitting their reception was there.  The reception was decorated with black linens and white draping with twinkle lights.  Their cake was a lavender hombre with scalloped frosting that was so pretty! We snuck them out by the sailboats for some nighttime photos just before their grand entrance and their fabulous party!! Congrats Jackie & Mel!!! xoxoxo
