Some evenings are pretty, but then there are those special times when everything is just magical. Carlos and Shanieka met while she was serving as a Captain in the United States Air Force. The couple chose to come to Orlando, Florida to join family and friends in a vacation and then they decided that it was the perfect opportunity to tie the knot. After speaking with our office the couple felt the ideal fit for the two of them was an intimate wedding on their own private island at Westgate Lakes Resort.
Just on the other side of Interstate 4 the wedding guests walked the boardwalk out to Sunset Key Island where they were greeted to the beautiful violin music of Jennie Rudberg and the amazing sky from a sunset that looked like a rich orange sherbet. Rev. Glynn Ferguson with Sensational Ceremonies worked with the couple to create a touching custom ceremony, full of love and laughter.
Chris Gillyard captured every moment from the pinning on of Carlos’ boutonnière and Shanieka receiving her lovely lavender bouquet created by Atmospheres Floral and Decor to their first kiss as husband and wife. Sugar Sugar Cake Boutique created a delicious cake and two dozen cupcakes in lemon, vanilla, and red velvet, that were snatched up by guests faster than the sun could seek blow the horizon.
What a wonderful evening for a tropical island wedding, right in the heart of Orlando.
