Aubrey& Ernie | Kapok Special Events - Clearwater, FL | Destination Wedding Photographer

I had the absolute pleurae of getting to capture Aubrey and Ernie's wedding in Clearwater, Fl. These two were such a FUN, easy-going and sweet couple. Their love and energy were infectious, creating an unforgettable experience for everyone involved. If that alone wasn’t enough, what made it even better was I got to work along side with the best videographer (I might be bias since I hired him to film my wedding lol), David with DVH Weddings. Aubrey and Ernie actually hired a full all-star vendor team! Nicole with Orchard Weddings was their planner; she was so sweet and easy to work with. Their florist did a stunning job on all the bouquets, ceremony site and reception hall and they happened to also be a fellow Atlanta-based vendor. Hiring the right team can really make or break your day!
