{Kristin & Curtis @ The Florida Aquarium}
When Kristin first filled out our little get to know you questionnaire she put on there "not doing a bouquet toss, there will be penguins involved, and really excited about the big day" I knew I would love this girl! Curtis proposed to her at the Clearwater marine aquarium and so the Florida Aquarium was the perfect wedding location for them. Kristin's 2 sisters were her maids of honor and were in a light mauve dresses that looked amazing with the guys in gray and the white with navy accents. Curtis had a really unique wedding band that was black woven with red and all the guys had different shark socks on! Kristin's mom, Carolyn, gave her a really sweet handkerchief and sign for their home with the lyrics to My Wish. Right before we headed over to the Aquarium we had the Jolley Trolley park in the perfect spot to do their first look and it was perfect! I love when we get to do photos in the wetlands when the sun is still high, the light in there is just so pretty and their adorable little ring bearer and flower girl joined us too. Kristin's step dad, Jack, officiated their ceremony in the coral reef room with the turtles and sharks as the backdrop. They had a couple little surprise "late arriving guests" of the penguin kind. I always love seeing the guests reactions:-) Just before their kiss the bubble curtain took over and they were officially Mr. and Mrs. Campogni! Their reception was in the Mosaic Center which is the Aquarium's new space, it's a really clean modern, space with the ceiling being huge nautical looking turbines. It was draped in white with gray chivaris with white florals and thistles, Kristin's mom Carolyn really put so much work into planning and making their dream reception come true, it looked amazing! They had several really fun surprises that I was totally looking forward to during the reception. A surprise for Kristin and Curtis was cake toppers that were custom bobble heads of them along with their 2 dogs Carl and Watson. After Kristin danced with her dad and Curtis danced with his mom, Kristin started dancing with her step dad, Jack, and then they put on rock lobster sunglasses and pinchers and did the rock lobster dance. The dance floor was packed and just at the right moment, Jack came out in a full penguin costume! It was pretty freaking awesome, and entertaining! Cheers to #findingcampogni congrats Kristin and Curtis we could not be happier for you guys and so honored to be a part of it!! xoxoxo
