Marco Wedding Photography, Marco Beach Ocean Resort, Marco Island, Florida. This week Dara and Matt were married on the terrace overlooking the Gulf.
There were thundershowers predicted so they moved the ceremony from the beach to the terrace. It was a beautiful ceremony done by Patti Fuenffinger, The SeaSide Strings
played during the ceremony and at the reception. They had cocktails and appetizers in the Toulouse Lounge and then moved into the Sal E Pepe Restaurant for a wonderful dinner.
Matt and Dara met through a mutual friend, Crystal, who set them up on a blind date. Crystal was the maid of honor at the wedding and gave the first toast before telling the story of their first date.
It was a fabulous evening and everyone had a great time.
Here are a few images from the wedding. To view the slideshow please click on the following link: Dara and Matt's Wedding Slideshow at the Marco Beach Ocean Resort.
