When I got my first phone call from Nora, Kathy's mom, I had such a lovely conversation with her, that I knew that this was going to be a great family to work with! I was absolutely right. Adrian and I were treated like part of the family, and I hope that our relationship with them will be a long one. Here are some of my favorite photos from Kathy & Marshall's special day. There are so many great ones - it was very hard to choose a few for the blog!

It was absolutely gorgeous outside of the Sonesta Hotel, where Kathy & her bridesmaides were getting ready.

The detail on Kathy's simply gorgeous wedding dress:

Nora's expression when she saw her daughter dressed in her wedding gown for the first time was that of pure pride and happiness:

Kathy looked simply beautiful!

Nora helps Kathy with her mantilla. This mantilla was simply beautiful and came right from Spain!

We had time for a few portraits in the gorgeous bathroom in the Sonesta Hotel.

But we still ran a little late, though! Adrian told me that Marshall's friends were making fun of him a bit for checking his watch, because he does it a lot! But still, it makes for a very cute shot. :)

There were so many adorable children having a great time on the beach before the ceremony.

The ceremony was beautiful, and was officiated by Kathy's uncle who is a Judge from Jacksonville, FL.

A tear rolled down Kathy's face as she blew a kiss to her mom after the readings.

A fun shot of the kiss!

Kathy & Marshall - finally married!

A subtle, touching moment between the new married couple.

We just loved this classic car that Kathy & Marshall got to take them to the reception at Perricone's Restaurant. So cool!

They look so amazingly happy dancing together! I believe the dance was a traditional Cuban dance. It was really beautiful to watch and the two of them must have spent hours practicing! Kathy was such a radiant bride dancing with her new husband!

Adrian and I usually don't get a chance to eat cake because we're usually running around so much at weddings, but Nora would not let us leave without a slice of cake and a cup of coffee, and I must say that the delicious rum cake that Kathy chose had absolutely the best fondant I have ever tasted. It was amazing! See the little strings coming out of the bottom? They are part of a Cuban tradition where each single girl pulls a string, and a charm comes out that shows who will be the next to get engaged, have lots of babies, get married, etc. It's a fun tradition and a great alternative to throwing a bouquet.

Kathy's friends had fun sharing the different charms they received from the cake.

An absolutely gorgeous couple!

Kathy & Marshall, thank you so much for letting us be a part of your special day! Adrian and I had such a great time getting to know you and your families, and we hope we'll be able to see you again soon. We hope that you are having an absolutely AMAZING time on your honeymoon in Spain, and we hope this new year brings you lots of success and happiness for your first year of marriage together!
