{Sara & Ryan @ Hilton Clearwater Beach}

Sara and Ryan live in St. Louis and Sara and her mom planned everything remotely.  I didn't actually meet them unit the day of, but, they are those kind of people you just feel like you've known forever!  I remember Sara telling me how important their friends and family are to them, and that they wanted they day to be about everyone not just the 2 of them.  It truly was, and they are some of the nicest, most fun people ever.  Sara and Ryan met at a St. Louis Cardinals game, so their accent color was red, and Sara's garter even had a little cardinal on it.  As you can see, Ryan is hilarious and so sweet.  He never stopped smiling from the minute they did their first look.  During the ceremony, after their vows, they accidentally kissed when they weren't suppose to yet, I think they surprised themselves lol!!  Sunset on the beach was absolutely stunning, that mix of clouds and pink sky that you expect in Florida.  While we were walking back in, the name of the water sports company was "BouYah" which had a little debate about the meaning so had to look it up and found out it means "used to express joy, especially in victorious or well played moments in sports".   As expected, their bridal party had some pretty fantastic toasts (slightly interrupted by a pesky sea gull wanting a snack:-).  They danced, and smashed cake, and Sara is known for her karaoke skills which she broke out as a surprise for Ryan in perfect form.  It was such an amazing day, thank you all for having us we loved it!!! xoxoxo
