Emily and Seth were married in a beautiful ceremony and reception at the Grand Plaza on St. Pete Beach!  It was a gorgeous day for a wedding and this wonderful bride and groom were a true pleasure to work with!  The newlyweds flew in from the Boston area to say their vows on the beautiful white sands of Florida's west coast!  The couple originally wanted to do a destination wedding abroad but it was also so important to both of them to have their family all there to celebrate with them so to avoid the difficulty of international travel and making sure everyone had their passports they agreed that Florida was a great alternative!  The most important part of their wedding day for them was to be surrounded by those they love and spending a long weekend at the beach all together was exactly what they wanted!  They were thrilled with the quality time they were able to spend with all of their guests and their goal of an easy and relaxed wedding day was achieved!  Emily and Seth love to travel and that theme was present in their reception details with maps as table numbers and I loved photographing their rings on the maps where they are from!  I also loved their very unique table seating sign which was a board filled with wine corks with each guests name on them.  Seth has two daughters who were both a part of the bridal party and it was so sweet to see how much they love their Dad!  This was such a beautiful day as we were blessed with gorgeous weather and an equally beautiful sunset and truly such an amazing couple to work with!  Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Puri!
