What a fantastic way to start the new year with a spectacular wedding celebration at South Seas Island Resort on Captiva Island.  Ashley and Grant had an amazing weekend.  We started with our couple on Friday night, January 1st for their rehearsal dinner.  Guests were treated to a sunset cruise aboard the Blue Lady with Captiva Cruises,  followed by a delicious dinner.  We love to capture rehearsal dinners.  They are so many great toasts and our bride and groom are so excited for what lies ahead.

The next day we started REALLY early.  Rob and his team  were at the golf course while the groomsmen teed off at 8 am in order to capture a lit bit of all the festivities.   We also were able to catch the bridal lunch and the grooms lunch poolside at the cabanas.  If you have not checked out the cabanas at South Seas Island Resort, I suggest you do so!  TV, refrigeration, couches, it is all you can imagine and more.

The big moment finally arrived and Ashley and Grant were wed at Sunset Cove overlooking the clear blue waters of the Gulf  Of Mexico on Saturday, January 2, 2010. The reception followed under a gorgeous tent on Kings Crown lawn.  Take a look at the picture of inside the tent below.  SO PRETTY ! We worked along side with Tonya Malay and her assistant Emma - who surely captured some great photographs.

Our bride and groom departed for the evening with a sparkler exit and jumped back onto the Blue Lady to sail off into the night.  This entire event was  well planned by Kelly McWilliams and her  terrific staff at Weddings By Socialites.

Congratulations to Ashley and Grant.  A perfect wedding and a great way to start 2010.
