This day couldn’t get any more perfect for Casey and Alex! Their day was a perfect blend of elegance, joy and a whole lot of party people!
We started their celebration the night before at their rehearsal dinner!
The Cloister in Sea Island, GA had the perfect backdrop for a luxurious dinner with guests. I love destination weddings because they have a special charm. They offer a unique experience for the couple, their guests and even the vendors! It’s like a breath of fresh air!
Casey and Alex’s journey brought them to Winter Park where they first met at Rollins College! However, when it came to their wedding, they decided to venture beyond their familiar surroundings and chose the breathtaking Cloister in Sea Island as their destination. Their idea was to create not just a wedding but a vacation experience for their loved ones. Sea Island has held a special place in Casey’s heart as a cherished childhood memory.
While planning the wedding, Casey couldn’t help but reflect on the absence of her late father, who had passed away when she was in high school. The question of who would walk her down the aisle weighed heavily on her mind. In the end, she decided that it might just be the perfect role for her soon-to-be husband, Alex! I love that this symbolized their support and partnership with each other. Casey’s outgoing nature didn’t necessarily align with a love for the spotlight, so the couple decided to do a first look before the ceremony to ease any anxiousness. It was a quiet moment that allowed them to soak in the joy of seeing each other for the first time on their wedding day. They also got a chance to reach their vows privately!
As the day unfolded, their vision of a warm and cozy atmosphere came to life. The venue was surrounded with lush greenery, creating a romantic and enchanting ambiance. Candlelit tables invited guests to relax and enjoy the intimate celebration! The evening was filled with heartwarming speeches and candid moments! As the night progressed, both Casey and Alex surprised their guests with a second reception outfit. It’s not too often we see grooms change into a second look but I am here for it! Casey wore a slinky tea length silk dress and paired it with a fur shaw to keep her warm! Alex went for a deep green velvet suit that perfectly captured his “on stage” personality.
Their band was incredible! ATL Groove Factory had no problem getting everyone on the dance floor…
and on the stage? They invited the newlyweds onstage and their guests went wild! Alex surprised everyone with his hidden dance moves, transforming into a different person, full of energy and joy! We had a blast being a part of such a beautiful wedding and loved getting their personalities thrive!
