Natasha and Zachary met in their first week at college at High Point University in North Carolina and became great friends. They soon realized that they were both from Florida and shared a mutual love of their home state's natural beauty. They also discovered that they shared the same values of family, hard work and healthy living. It wasn't long until these two became a couple and after dating throughout college Zachary proposed at the vacation home of Natasha's family on Captiva Island. When planning their wedding the couple wanted to incorporate all that they loved about Florida and The Lange Farm was the perfect location! The venue truly highlights Florida's natural beauty with it's sprawling oak trees lined with spanish moss and it's scenic country views. The couple also incorporated elements to honor Florida's citrus history by including oranges and limes in their flower centerpieces and overall color theme. Family is so important to the couple so it was essential that the evening was casual and comfortable for their guests. Every element was designed to create a relaxing environment, from the Hungry Harry's BBQ dinner to the cake made out of Publix donuts! Natasha was stunning in her simple and elegant Jessica McClintock wedding gown, and Zachary's seersucker suit with orange bow-tie completed the overall theme. It seemed that the weather also wanted it's own feature on the couple's big day! The morning started out with beautiful sunshine and then as the heat of the summer day built so did the afternoon thunderstorms. The dark clouds were brewing during the outdoor ceremony and even though we heard several rumbles of thunder there was not a drop on their guests! While photographing the bride and groom session we did experience a very light rain but that did not stop this amazing couple from wanting to take pictures! =) I love that a few of the rain drops are visible in some of our shots! The gray clouds continued through the reception, but we were hopeful for a slight peek of sun for a sunset session and did Florida ever deliver! We were graced with a gorgeous sunset that produced it's own natural orange glow that matched the couple's wedding theme perfectly! Natasha and Zachary were wonderful to work with and are such genuine people that it was a pleasure to capture their wedding day memories! Congratulations to the newlyweds!
