Gladys and Jeff traveled all the way from Illinois to get married on the beautiful white sand beaches of Treasure Island, Florida. And even a thunderstorm couldn’t dampen their enthusiasm!Gladys and Jeff were originally due to get married on Sunset Beach this past Friday evening, but the weather forecast didn’t agree. We had terrible weather all day…gray clouds, rain, thunder, lightning, the whole nine yards. We kept in touch with Gladys throughout the day, and offered her several options for a backup plan in case the rain didn’t go away. We offered to hold the wedding ceremony in their hotel – the beautiful new Residence Inn on Treasure Island, and we offered to do it in the Sunset Vista Pavilion on Sunset Beach. But Gladys and Jeff were having none of it.
“We came all this way to get married on the beach, and that’s what we want to do”, explained Gladys. So we offered to reschedule their beach wedding for the following morning, and they happily accepted. It turned out to be a good call – Gladys and Jeff enjoyed a crisp and sunny fall morning on Sunset Beach!
It was just the two of them for their intimate beach wedding, though they did bring along their teacup poodle, Lola, and a dolphin swam by about 20 yards away to check out the ceremony…it was perfect!
Afterwards, Claire had a blast taking their wedding pictures on the beach. She called them “a photographers dream”, as she had them rolling in the sand and surf (voluntarily of course)!
