Ayanna & Hugh: The Reception {Saint Simons wedding photographer}

Immediately following the ceremony in Neptune Park (click HERE to view those images), the wedding day festivities continued outside the Casino Theater.  Since their family and friends were also traveling from all over the country to witness the union of these love birds, it's no wonder Ayanna & Hugh chose their reception to have a vintage travel theme!  I loved all the little details - from the paper airplane escort cards, to the map-covered flower vases, to the homemade pear berry jam wedding favors ("Berry" just so happens to be the groom's last name)...this reception had paradise written all over it!

But what really made this reception so special - this whole day - were the family and friends who attended.  The first dance family-style, was so precious with Ayanna & Hugh's son leading the moves.  And speaking of dance moves, check out the mother of the bride getting her groove on the dance floor!  And that father-daughter dance?  Incredibly heartwarming.  These images show just how special Ayanna's bond with her father truly is.  Each and every moment of this wedding day was a memory worth capturing with my lens.

Congratulations, again, Ayanna & Hugh, on your marriage!  It was my honor to have been such a special part of your day.  Warmest wishes for a beautiful future!

A big thank you to all the fabulous vendors who made this special day possible...from start to finish!
