Ceremony: First United Methodist Church, Williston, FL
Reception: Bride’s family property

Lana and Blake’s wedding is one I will always remember!

Lana’s stunning dress, the bridesmaids in theirs, the deep red interior of the church, and the most incredible wedding reception tent I’ve ever seen in person made the day an unforgettable affair.

Kind of like Lana’s bridal shoot, where the dress didn’t make it from Williston until hours later, the wedding day crisis involved a very similar situation — this time with the groom’s tuxedo.

Someone at the store where Blake’s tux was supposed to be decided to put it in a completely different place than the other ones, so when one of the groomsmen picked up the suits everyone got their tuxes except the groom!

Disaster was averted after one of the groomsmen rushed back to Gainesville to pick up Blake’s tux and the guys were able to finally go over to the church.

After the ceremony, Blake chauffeured his new wife to the reception held at her parents’ property on the outskirts of Williston.

And what a reception it was!

Over 400 guests were accommodated in a gigantic tent complete with comfortable seating areas, beautiful centerpieces, and mint juleps to celebrate the running of the Kentucky Derby.

Lana & Blake were a great couple to photograph and I am so excited every time I see the pictures from their wedding and Lana’s bridal session.

I’m hard at work on their album. It looks like the hardest part will be deciding what not to include!
