Rachel & Lee invited us to photograph their wedding at the Pensacola Beach Hilton this past July. With the help of the ladies from Bliss Event Group, their wedding was absolutely STUNNING! It's been a while since we've posted another 100:1 series - and this gorgeous affair seemed like a perfect way to share a ton of eye candy and a few extra images from one event - so enjoy the next 100 images ;) |

Pensacola Beach, FL

|
| The bar tables dotting the patio, waiting for sunset and the start of an open air cocktail hour... |
| Each ceremony seat was adorned with individual fans (program attached), and bags full of a little surprise for the end of the ceremony. |
| Parasols for guests to Stay Shady! Program fans are always a hit in the hot summer months, as well. |
| The added bonus - parasols make for cute photos - adding loads of color and interest to the scenery! |
| Did you catch the starfish on the bottom of this little guy's shoe? |
| These two little girls were hilarious. It was a little tough getting them started - one wanting to charge ahead, while the other decided to take a seat right on the sand! |
| A priceless moment here as Lee fights back tears. |
| Rachel & her dad were ready to take the walk, but the veil had other plans... |
| Eventually, Rachel, her dad, AND the veil made it to the alter. |
| Rachel's mom & dad at the same moment... just one reason that having two photographers rocks. |
| Surprised?! The guests tossed beach balls at the newly married couple as they made their way back down the aisle. |
| Pensacola peeps will appreciate that these look like the Pensacola Beach Ball... which was the site of the ceremony. Super cute, right? |
| The boys engineered this all by themselves - a special request. No one was seriously injured in the making of this shot. |
| Reception lighting is *fab-u-lous* - taking a corporate ballroom in a dramatic direction... and I really appreciate that the Bliss ladies make great lighting design a priority at their events. |
| Pinpoint spots illuminating the tables. |
| Rachel & Lee placed stamped post cards out in lieu of a traditional guest book - ensuring they would have an overflowing mailbox of love when they returned home from their honeymoon. Genius! |
| I couldn't decide if I preferred just ambient light (for added mood and drama) or if I liked things bright and clean - so I shot a little of both! |
| Mmmmm... the power of colored lights. |
| Raise your hands up and shout! |
| I think he's doing the fish face backwards - don't the gills go the other way? ;) |
| Lee's hysterical flight attendant (or whatever the new PC term is...safety instructor?) dance - complete with a seatbelt demonstration! |
| Guests showered the newlyweds with rose petals at the end of their last dance. |
| After hugging everyone goodbye, the couple made their exit to cheers... |
| Lee won last-shot-of-the-night here. |
