Destination Beach Wedding at Tradewinds Resort | St. Petersburg Wedding Photographer
 

Though fall is underway—well, not yet here in Tampa—today on the blog we are heading to the beach! We are delighted to share a glimpse of Jennifer and Clinton’s destination wedding at the Tradewinds Grand Resort.

The couple, who live in the mid-west, were joined by their closest relatives and friends for a fun, intimate destination wedding that doubled as a mini-holiday. The day was full of joking and laughter and a sweet first look before the ceremony, where Jennifer and Clinton exchanged gifts. The usual summertime rainstorms held off for the beach side wedding ceremony and we were treated to a gorgeous sunset when it came time for their newlywed portraits.

Jennifer and Clinton, we hope you had a fabulous time honeymooning in Mexico and wish you the very best in life and in your marriage. Thank you for inviting us to be part of your special day!
