You all met Mandy + James a few weeks ago when we featured their engagement session on the blog. You also got to see Mandy’s bridal session that we photographed over at Steelwood in Loxley, AL. This past February, it was time for the wedding bells here in Pensacola, FL. Check it out.

We started off the morning with a first glance in the sanctuary of First Baptist Church Pensacola.



We moved right through the couples formals & into the group shots with bridal party + family. This saves us tons of time after the ceremony, and gets our couples to the reception a lot sooner following the ceremony.

The details at Mandy + James’ wedding were dreamy! Mandy wanted a garden feel for the event. With the help of Skopelos and Celebrations, it totally hit the mark!






Custom wedding cakes by the iconic Betty Weber!



Mandy + James opened the reception with their first dance.


An emotional & oh-so-proud Dad looking on.

Local favorites Clark & Company set the tone for the evening.

Lead singer Caroline Norman. I think Meg went to high school with her too.

It just wouldn’t be a wedding without the YMCA…

…and some crazy friends from college. Thanks for “keeping it real” girls!

Local celebrity & car mogul Sandy Sansing danced with Mandy.

Bridesmaid Emily caught the bouquet and was proposed to just days later - so the legend must be true!

This shot says it all…time to go home buddy.

Thanks for including us in your celebration, guys. We hope y’all are enjoying the start of a new life in San Francisco - Meg especially can’t wait to schedule a visit!
