We had sun, we had rain and we even had a rainbow at Cody and Elizabeth’s summer wedding at The Pavilion at Sandy Pines.
We started inside the beautiful bridal suite which is a building onto it’s own with the bride and her squad downstairs and the guys up above.

Our first emotional moment of the day occurred with Elizabeth reading letters from her parents as well as the groom. Then came the first looks with Dad as well as Cody.

After our wonderful reveals, I took the couple all around the Sandy Pines golf course area for photos and then back for wedding party group photos and family group shots.

We certainly had a good time with the wedding party with lots of laughs and booty bumps for all.

We had a rain delay that held up the ceremony for a few minutes but that played into our favor as you will see later.

I’ve done many Greek weddings and with the bride having some of that heritage in her family it wasn’t a shock to see some circle dances with money being showered upon the newlyweds.
The Pavilion was decorated so elegantly with tall centerpieces overlooking the guests. The desserts were homemade and the cake reflected the groom’s (and latecomer the bride) affinity for fishing.

And then, it happened…. a rare opportunity to photograph the bride and groom with a rainbow overlooking the ceremony area. So out we went onto the damp sidewalk for a slow dance between the newlyweds as the rainbow shined overhead.
