Alyssa & Keith – Married!

Alyssa and Keith were married on the 4th of July in Lake Mary at the Lake Mary Events Center. A beautiful location for a beautiful ceremony. Keith and Alyssa have a deep love for God, each other, and their family. They celebrated all of those things last weekend when they tied the knot!! I adored watching Alyssa’s face as she walked down the aisle towards the love of her life. They locked eyes with each other, and never looked away the entire time. They were so wrapped up in each other. It was so fantastic to watch, and even more amazing to photograph. Alyssa and Keith, I hope you both had an amazing honeymoon!!! Thank you so much for allowing me to be apart of it!

For those Florida Fans out there, this should really hit home…For those of you who aren’t familiar. Florida has a fantastic tradition that includes a song. One of the lines in the song, and one that has always pulled at my heart is “In all kinds of weather we all stick together…”. Alyssa and Keith, what an amazing way to start your marriage. Such a true statement, and one that everyone should live by.

I love that Alyssa got ready in her childhood home, surrounded by family.

I have to say that “Jumping Shots” are not something I usually do. Since they are super popular and it seems everyone has them. But when the boys mentioned “Jumping Super Mario Brothers” I had to play along ;-)

Alyssa’s ladies surrounded her just moments before she walked down the aisle, to each say a little prayer out loud for her and her new life as Keith’s wife.

I loved that Keith’s Dad married them, and when your Dad marries you, you leave lots of opportunity for talk of Grandchildren. I believe this is what was happening at this moment ;-)

Keith and Alyssa also incorporated a “God’s Knot” into their ceremony. The three cords represented both Keith and Alyssa and God coming together. Loved the spin on the traditional sand ceremony or candle lighting.

Favorite. Mother Son Dance. Of. All. Time.

Grabbed this shot during Alyssa’s sorority cheer. Made me a little nostalgic for all my Sorority Sisters.

I cannot even begin to describe the awesomeness of this crowd. I have never seen dancing like this. A total party. Dance circles and Dance Offs every time I turned around. I was in photo heaven.

And they lived happily, ever, after…
