Shooting in new locations is always a treat, and Jennifer and Ryan’s wedding brought us to the west coast of Florida- Bradenton. Palmetto Riverside Bed & Breakfast is the CA-YUT-EST seaside Florida wedding venue with the most beautiful natural light and plenty of cute areas to photograph. I mean, It’s not very often I share dress shots on my blog, but when there’s a mantel full of scotch bottles, I just can’t help myself.

Jennifer and Ryan opted for a first look, which freed up the timeline (we had almost two hours for portraits!) and gave them a special moment before the ceremony for just the two of them. Ryan later commented on a photo I posted to Instagram:

“I’m glad we chose to do a first look. This moment was very special with just the two of us. She definitely caught my emotions off guard.”

Here are some of my favorites from their day:
