Real Wedding: Jequeatta + Ozzie at the Ringling Ca' d'Zan Mansion in Sarasota, FL!

Jequeatta and Ozzie's wedding day was amazing!

I had the pleasure to work with this loving couple and their wonderful friends and family at the Ca' d'Zan mansion on the Ringling Museum of Art grounds. I felt so welcomed by the bride and groom and even though the day started off with severe thunderstorms this couple's love for one another shined through creating some amazing images!

Congratulations to the newlyweds! =)

We ask our clients to tell us a little about themselves and their relationship before their wedding. I absolutely LOVE what this couple has said about one another and it was so easy to see why they were meant to be together!

"Why we’re in love… hmm, how much paper do we have? Just kidding—we’ll try to keep this short: We’ve both chatted about how in life, there are probably several individuals a person could be compatible with—they could meet, date and marry one of those people and probably be relatively happy in their lives. But there is one PFM (perfect for me) out there who, if you’re lucky/blessed enough to find him/her, you know is not a perfect person, but is meant to be the perfect complement to you. That’s how we feel about each other."

*I feel Ozzie is the man God has led me to. He is selfless, humble, incredibly loving and caring, God-fearing, genuine, hilarious and my best friend. He makes me feel so special anytime we’re together and he’s the most thoughtful man I’ve ever met. I just want to be the wife he deserves and more."

*When it comes to Jequeatta, I know God is one bad man to make someone like her. I cannot imagine one aspect of my future without her (nor do I want to). She is my best friend and has brought a new light to my life. Jequeatta has the most beautiful inside--her personality, spirit, drive, sense of humor and grace—it’s so attractive and amazing. And her outside is… well, “beautiful” just doesn’t cut it! I love that I can laugh and grow with her… I still can’t believe she picked me."

A special thanks to the amazing vendors that made Jequeatta and Ozzie's big day fabulous! =)

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Sarah McDonald = AMAZING-GENIUS-SUPER-GODDESS-GURU-PHOTOGRAPHER-MASTER!

You were such a blessing to us that day, Sarah... you came in some calm and warm on what was a VERY hectic day at first. We're still blown away by how you captured such breathtaking images in such a short period of time. Thank you, thank you, thank you for immortalizing the emotion and beauty of that special day for us... my whole family has a crush on you!
