Emily and Josh are surely a couple we will never forget. Their lives are filled with so much happiness and love and it showed true in every way on their wedding day. Josh stood atop the Observation Deck overlooking the Atlantic Ocean waiting to see his beautiful bride for the very first time on their wedding day. They shared an intimate moment called a, “first look” where the bride and groom see each other for the first time, prior to their ceremony. It allows the photographers to capture a beautiful moment, but it is an even more special moment for the bride and groom to release some of the pre-ceremony jitters. Renee Landry Events created a driftwood arbor on the beach where Emily and Josh stood as they shared their vows to each other in front of their family and friends on a beautiful fall day. Everyone moved over to the reception in the Sound-side Pavilion. In the entry way stood a door hung with handcrafted individual escort cards/keepsakes Emily’s mom sewed for each guest. If you are ever considering an October wedding – look no further than Emily and Josh’s sunset photos for one of the most jaw dropping October sunsets.
