Dana + Anthony, Bay Point Sheraton Wedding, Panama City Beach Florida

How'd you two meet?

"I met Anthony through our mutual friend Khari. Khari said that she had a friend going to ODU knowing that i would be transferring so she set up a time for all of us to meet. Then we met at TGIF in Woodbridge. I was sitting there drinking with Anthony and i can just feel him starring me down. I playfully told him it’s not polite to stare, so being Anthony, he found a loophole and started taking multiple glances at me. From that day on, we talked/texted morning to night. After that, we moved pretty quick, going on endless dates. A month later he became my boyfriend 8/31/2012. On 04/29/2017, Anthony gave me the most beautiful proposal at Disney World, in front of the Magic Kingdom castle. That’s history lol. "

This wedding was so amazing. Lemme just start there.

The groom, Anthony, emailed me like 3 weeks before to the big day and told me he "knew his wife would love my personality!!" lol... So naturally, I was excited...

Usually, I talk with the brides, but this time, I didn't even talk to Dana until I got there wedding day, lol. BUT WHATEVER!!! We literally hit it off immediately and I knew it was going to be an amazing day!

Seriously it was so pretty. Anthony and Dana are beach lovers so it was only right to have the wedding in Florida. The stunning bride and handsome groom were head to toe in all white, with the perfect amount of turquoise touches, and they agreed that silver would be the third mate. And it all came together so pretty at The Sheraton Bay Point Resort in Panama City Beach, FL.

After an emotional ceremony, we ran around for a few couples portraits, had a blast taking family formals, and moved on to the reception after bridal party.. and that is where the fun began! - And the toasts... they had so many people in that room that cared for them, literally almost all of them wanted to make a toast haha, it was such a sweet outpouring of love... a sometimes hilarious outpouring of love, haha!! Especially when Dad got on the mic.... oh and speaking of, can we talk about the father//daughter dance 😭like... the most emotional moment ever... ugh.. we were all crying... or maybe it was just he and I.. but whatever!!

It was beautiful. It was all beautiful.

Anthony told Dana that he chose me -

"after reading your fun/ personable website. He knew from then on that you were the perfect photographer for our wedding and to look no further. We loved your approach to the photos and your overall energy."

And I asked them if they had any advice to soon to be wed couples and she said -
