Real Wedding : Caroline + Andres at the Mirror Lake Lyceum in St. Petersburg, Florida!

Caroline and Andres' wedding day was amazing! The couple chose to do a first look session because their wedding ceremony was late in the evening. I love when couples choose to do this! =) I feel that part of the stress and anxiety of a wedding day comes before the ceremony in anticipation of the first moment the bride and groom get to see each other. Making this moment a private one truly adds to the memories, experience, and calmness of their big day. Since the couple was getting ready at the Renaissance Vinoy, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to capture their first look in the lovely tea garden.

The couple chose the Mirror Lake Lyceum in downtown St. Petersburg to host their wedding. This is a wonderful venue as it has a large space for a ceremony and reception. The couple accented their reception with beautiful flowers and lighting. The couple brought in an amazing Spanish band to entertain guests during the reception and Caroline even had a beautiful second dress to wear during the party!

Congratulations to the newlyweds! =)
