Brad and Alicia – Ocean View Villas Wedding

This is going to be a monster blog post!  I had a hard time narrowing down my favorites!

Alicia and Brad were married at Ocean View Villas this past Saturday with the most perfect weather I have seen ever!  Earlier in the week, the weatherman forecasted rain.  Alicia was a little panicked but it turned out to be the bluest skies!

The happy couple decided to see each other before the ceremony, and they were so happy they did that!  We had so much time for photos!

They read their vows quietly to each other which was extremely emotional.  I may or may not have shed a tear…

I couldn’t decide which ring shot I liked better…so I am posting both :)

During the ceremony, the best man pulled Alicia’s ring out of this Cracker Jack box!  It was very funny!

I always have such a blast being back at Ocean View Villas!  I couldn’t ask for better clients either, Alicia and Brad.  You two are so fun to be around and obviously make each other so happy!  I am jealous of your long Honeymoon in Hawaii!

And big thanks to my good friend Aaron Thompson for being a fabulous second shooter!

xoxo, M
