nothing short of an amazing wedding

Photos like this don't just happen. It takes a phenomenal photographer. Let me introduce you to Hilary Hopkins...my best friend today. She sent me just a few photos from this past weekends wedding and my jaw dropped. You can see more of her photos on Boogie-Down Brides Blog I wanted to share a few of them here, because they truly deserve double posting!

Jillian & Jonathan's Captiva Wedding Weekend was 100% gorgeous fun. Four days, Five events, and 60 guests that I'll never forget. The weekend started on Thursday with a welcome reception on Luau beach. Friday morning we cruised to Cabbage Key for lunch, the hook game (I learned the secret!) and a spontaneous game of football on the lawn. Friday night was rehearsal dinner for all the guests on the lawn under what seemed to be a bajillion stars. To make the huge lawn more intimate, we surrounded the tables with market umbrellas on their sides and added some cool lighting. Saturday was wedding day. Cocktails on the lawn overlooking the beach, ceremony on the beach, dinner on Kings Crown Lawn (in what is now the most favorite design I've ever done). It got a bit cool so we had dessert inside the dining room before heading into Boogie Down Lounge to dance the night away. Lastly, a farewell brunch on the quarterdeck over looking the yacht basin. Congrats Jonathan & Jillian a.k.a. Boogie-Down bride. I'll miss you!
