For Steve and Julie, love is even more lovely the second time around. Their St. Petersburg waterfront ceremony was intimate, meaningful, and emotional-just the way they had envisioned it. Their children and closest friends surrounded them for this very special commitment and I am honored to be able to give such precious memories to them.
Thank you to all of the wonderful vendors Andi Diamond Photography worked with to make Julie and Steve’s wedding day so memorable.

This was such a special weekend for Steve and I. Since we are older, we wanted the day to be about our love and devotion for each other and for our kids. Sharing our wedding day with them, was the most important and precious detail of the weekend. After spending a lot of time with friends at Dolphin Cay, we knew just how beautiful the setting would be for our wedding. We were right! Andi Diamond captured it’s beauty wonderfully in these photos. Thank you so much Andi for making us feel so at ease taking the photos. (You did a great job with us older folks!) cant wait to see everything you took!! I am certain they will gives us years of pleasure of moments to remember. We couldn’t have been more pleased with Izabela (Iza’s flowers). She went above and beyond to make the Brio dinner suite/balcony gorgeous and our wedding arrangements exactly as I wanted! Just simply beautiful!!! Amazing talent and dedication! I had never had my hair and makeup done for an event before, so it was such a treat to have Brandi pamper my daughter and myself. She was so fun to chat with while doing her magic on us. Didnt hurt that she made us feel pretty. If any lesson was learned while in planning and executing my little wedding event, was the importance of having wonderfully talented, professionals that understand your vision and you feel very comfortable being with! I will be following and calling these ladies for future events and will highly recommend them to everyone!!
On a personal note, I was hesitant writing our vows, although it was the one thing Steve was insistent on. I am so glad he did now. It was a wonderfully emotional, intimate part of the day. Thank goodness I carried a hanky that my mother had embroidered many years ago, as we both needed it. I even saw of few tears shed by our kids. Much laughter and tears shared by all. A day…. A moment in our lifetimes to be cherished always!
