Sylvia and Brian contacted us a few weeks ago and asked if we could perform their wedding at the Safety Harbor church, a historic chapel which is now a part of Largo Heritage Park. They had been working with the park staff and were told they could use the chapel on a walk-in basis. We were excited to be able to perform their wedding ceremony in such a quaint and historic venue.
Then Brian called us three days before the wedding to say that Largo Heritage Park had just informed him their policies had changed and he and Sylvia would not be able to use the chapel! Brian was in a state of panic, and rightfully so! But Claire told him to relax and give her a few minutes to make some phone calls and see what we could come up with.
Our first call was to our friends at Sunken Gardens. When Claire explained the situation, they were eager to help. Though they had another event scheduled for that afternoon, they offered to squeeze Sylvia and Brian’s wedding into their already busy schedule on short notice. Joyce and all of the staff at Sunken Gardens truly saved the day and we can’t thank them enough!
Sylvia and Brian’s Sunken Gardens Wedding Ceremony was amazing! They had an intimate wedding ceremony in Sunken Gardens’ meditation garden. Music was provided by our violinist, Laurie, and Claire provided the couples’ wedding photography. The ceremony itself was officiated by Jeff, but Sylvia’s sister, Rosa, led the group in a heartfelt invocation, and Sylvia and Brian shared their own personal vows – which had the entire group in tears (photographer and violinist included!). They opted to include our sand unity ceremony, and Rosa closed the ceremony with a lovely prayer.
Sylvia and Brian, you have a wonderful family. Thank you so much for making Simple Weddings a part of your special day! The slideshow below contains a few of our favorite pictures from your wedding. Keep an eye out for the rest in a few days on the slideshows page of our main website!
We wish you and your family all the best in the years ahead. Please keep in touch and keep us in mind for all of you photography needs!
Sincerely,
Jeff & Claire Copeland
