Marco Beach Ocean Resort Wedding Photography, Marco Island, Florida. Erika and Matt are an adorable couple who met at work in 2004. They live in Virginia and love the beach. They love the Caribbean and love the white sands and blue waters there. They chose the Marco Beach Ocean Resort for their destination wedding because of the tropical location and the fantastic sunsets. They loved that the resort was like being in the Caribbean without leaving the states. With so many nieces and nephews, they wanted an easily accessible resort that was tropical and romantic, and family friendly.
Erika looked lovely in her elegant, strapless wedding gown. She and Matt saw each other in a “first glance” session before the wedding and then we traveled around the resort taking romantic photos of them with the unique backdrop of the Marco Beach Ocean Resort. Their formal family wedding pictures were done in the Marco Beach Ocean Resort Gardens and then we went to the beach for the ceremony. Patti Fueffinger of Wedding on an Island was the officiant and did a wonderful ceremony. DJ Dominick Buonantuono of Mobile Sound Entertainment did a great job with music for the beach wedding ceremony and the cocktail hour and reception. Marco Island Florist did all the flowers with blue hydrangeas and cream colored roses for Erika’s bouquet, blue hydrangeas and yellow Asiatic lilies for the bridesmaids bouquets. Everything matched perfectly with the dark blue bridesmaids dresses and groomsmens jackets. For the reception there were white and blue hydrangeas in glass cube vases and glass cylinders with sand, shells and a white candle with yellow dendrobium orchid blooms.
Chris Shook, Matt’s brother in law and Heather Howdyshell, Erika’s cousin gave very entertaining, funny toasts to the couple. After the wonderful surf and turf dinner at the Marco Beach Ocean Resort we walked downstairs for some dramatically lit wedding photos in architecture and columns in the garden. It was a wonderful wedding and the guests danced until late in the evening to help them celebrate. Congratulations to Erika and Matt!
