{Kim & Shane @ The Mahaffey Theater}
Kim and Shane's wedding was one for the books for sure! Kim has been a fellow event industry friendor for almost 10 years now so it was such an honor to photograph her and Shane's gorgeous wedding and we couldn't be happier for them. Being a planner herself, there was SO MANY gorgeous details. The girls had so much fun getting ready and sipping mimosas! They got ready at the Hilton right across the street that is newly redone and has a really cool modern vibe. They have huge art walls and furniture vignette's in the lobby perfect for their first look and inside photos. Their ceremony and reception was on the lawn in-between the Dali and Mahaffey right on the waterfront. Amanda and her team at MMD Events turned Kim's vision into even more than she could have imagined. The lawn was transformed into their ceremony with alternating rows of ghost chairs and white chairs with a white draped arch and sparkly chandalier. Kim's mom walked her down the aisle and she looked stunning and so happy. I love that Pastor Rich had asked them things they love about each other that he shared in the ceremony. The reception was set under market lights with gray linens and really unique and modern florals in gray and mirrored containers. They had a "Comfort Station" with flip flips and our very favorite detail was the doughnut wall that made their cake look like it was floating in front of sparkly doughnuts! Kim's sister was her Maid of Honor and her toast was to how much she loves her sister and how happy they all are to have Shane officially becoming a part of their family. Michael Planas, who is a long time friend of Kim's and works for Grant Hemond rocked the party. Congrats you guys it was such an honor to be part of!!!
