Ethan walked right up to Callie at a friends bar one night in downtown Orlando and introduced himself. That is how their love story started and on this beautiful day in Florida at Highland Manor they said “I do” in front of their friends and family.
Baby last night was hands down
One of the best nights
That I’ve had no doubt
Between the bottle of wine
And the look in your eyes and the Marvin Gaye
Then we danced in the dark under September stars in the pourin’ rain
And I know that I can’t ever tell you enough
That all I need in this life is your crazy love
If I never get to see the Northern lights
Or if I never get to see the Eiffel Tower at night
Oh if all I got is your hand in my hand
Baby I could die a happy man
A happy man, baby, hmm
Baby and that red dress brings me to my knees
Oh but that black dress makes it hard to breathe
You’re a saint, you’re a goddess, the cutest, the hottest, a masterpiece
It’s too good to be true, nothing better than you
In my wildest dreams
And I know that I can’t ever tell you enough
That all I need in this life is your crazy love
If I never get to see the Northern lights
Or if I never get to see the Eiffel Tower at night
Oh if all I got is your hand in my hand
Baby I could die a happy man yeah.
High School sweethearts Alex and Emily were married at the gorgeous Highland Manor. It was a gorgeous Florida day as they got married under the old oak tree.
Below is some of our favorite moments…
They let us light up their wedding with a lighted canopy and uplighting.
That canopy!
First Dance – Ray LaMontagne – You Are The Best Thing
It’s been a long day, baby
Things ain’t been going my way
You now I need you here
You clear my mind all the time
And, baby
The way you move me, it’s crazy
It’s like you see right through me
And make it easier
Believe me, you don’t even have to try
Oh, because
You are the best thing
(You’re the best thing)
You are the best thing
(You’re the best thing, baby)
You are the best thing
(You’re the best thing, ooh)
Ever happened to me
Baby
We’ve come a long way
And, baby
You know I hope and I pray
That you believe me
When I say this love will never fade away
Ashley and Thad have a love for the outdoors so Highland Manor was the perfect location for their outdoor ceremony under the old oak tree. A custom ceremony performed by the brides uncle left not one dry eye in the place.
We lit up their reception with soft Blush uplighting and they danced the night away with all their friends and family.
The beginning to Mike and Paige’s love story is one that will most likely be told for the remainder of the year… Why? Because their day was that beautiful from start to finish.
Starting off the day with their ceremony under the big Oak tree… Christine McPhail strummed away as the bridal party marched down the aisle… Avoiding a slight drizzle, the ceremony went off without a hitch. Celebrating and proclaiming their love for each other, Mike and Paige exchanged rings and tied the knot, sealing their new love with a kiss!
Next up, Cocktail hour! While their guest reconnect with family and friends that they have not seen in years… the the ever so talented photographers at Josh&Rachel Photo capture the sheer beauty of the bridal party. With 14 members strong, this bridal party was young, talented, and even more beautiful in their Blush and Blue’s. Standing aside their now, wedded friends, the bridal party and our Newlyweds prepared for a night of celebration and a little bit of dancing.
Finally… the decor is set, the floral was all in place, and the lights were shining brightly for the newlyweds to celebrate their love. As the guests are shown into the event space they are met with custom gold decor by DoTellCaligraphy, greenery filled floral with pops of color, and with the house lights dimmed, we provided our signature lighting service to spread a little FyerFly magic through out the event space.
After the beautiful first dance, dances with mom and dad, and dinner service had been completed…It was time to DANCE!
So without further explanation…Sit back, grab a brew of your choice, and enjoy the love story of Paige and Mike!
