If you know me, you know I don’t really care for the beach too much.  The sand is messy, the water is salty and I’ve just been a million times!  Although, I know it sounds a bit ridiculous to some of you…January is the most pleasant time to go to the beach.  It is almost feels deserted like in the winter.  Instead of high school seniors by the thousands, there are old men flying kites, jogs on the beach, cold sand in between your toes, high waves and the ocean turns silver at dusk.  The temperature was perfectly in the high 60s and low 70s at Casey and Amy’s Wedding.  I always tell people that it doesn’t matter how much money or expertise you put into a wedding, the most important part of it are the people you invite.  This group of people are exactly the type of family and friends that make a wedding special and completely enjoyable.  The drizzly rain didn’t stop anyone from having a great time.  Amy wore a beautiful a Hollywood style gown along with a vibrant personality.  The families were so considerate.  You could tell all of them naturally spent most of their energy taking care of other people rather than thinking about themselves.  The afternoon started with an intimate ceremony on a screened-in porch that was anything but strict and stuffy. There were more than just a few giggles.  The evening ended with a reception in Rosemary Beach.  I was reminded when I saw a Post Office that said “United States” that we were in fact still in the same country.  The modern, old english village seemed unreal and foreign compared to other parts of the beach.  Dinner was served in a modern palace, equipped with Alice in Wonderland chairs for the Bride and Groom.  The lighting was so romantic I hated to disturb its darkness with my flash.  It was, to say the least, a lovely wedding.  Congrats Casey and Amy!
