Heather & Jason’s Wedding Day, Rosemary Beach, FL
Since getting started back in 1985 I have been blessed to shoot more beach weddings than I can count.Somehow earlier today I was blown away with the most spectacular beach I’ve seen in a decade…
Paradise Found?
Rosemary Beach is a neo-traditional town located on northwest Florida’s gulf coast, between Panama City and Destin, at the eastern end of Scenic Route 30A. Easily accessible by air or by car, the town is a 30-minute drive from the Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport and a one-hour drive from the Fort Walton Beach Okaloosa Airport.
The Rosemary Beach Land Company and President Patrick Bienvenue had a vision they wanted to share with the world. In 1995, that vision became a reality and Rosemary Beach was born. Rosemary Beach Land Company’s development plan is founded in the principles of New Urbanism and Traditional Neighborhood Development. Inspired by other classic beach towns, the 107-acre, gulf-front town of Rosemary Beach was designed to bring back the notions of community, neighborhood and convenience.
In other words, this slice of heaven on earth offers residents the opportunity to live and work in paradise.
In their search for paradise, people often travel to the far corners of the earth, only to come up empty-handed. In reality, paradise is a lot closer than most people think. Long stretches of pristine beaches made up of the brightest of white sands. Refreshing breezes blowing off the waters of the Gulf of Mexico. The peace and tranquility of gently lapping surf, singing gulls and sandpipers. These are things that have been quietly awaiting discovery in a section of Florida’s panhandle. These are the ingredients that make up the town Rosemary Beach–paradise found.
Residents of Rosemary Beach are lucky to not only live and work here, but also to have the opportunity to play here. When work is finished and the rest of the errands can wait, Rosemary Beach is the perfect location for a vacation. Mild year-round temperatures, yet still a change of season; spectacular beaches free from crowds; the natural beauty of a beach-side destination located on a designated scenic road; aesthetically-pleasing architecture and award-winning, expertly-designed layout; convenient and quaint town center, amenities such as tennis courts, pools, dune walkovers to the beach and lots of green areas in which to relax; these are the qualities of the new paradise of Rosemary Beach.
Cameron & Ben’s Wedding at the Lange Farm in Dade City, FL
I have to admit, over the last decade I’ve shot shot more weddings at the Lange Farm in Dade City, FL than I can count. Today’s wedding was not only in tune with the excellence I am accustomed to, today’s wedding was simply divine…
The bride, Cameron, a 2nd grace school teacher and her groom, Ben, a young man of vibrant evergy both spoke vows to love, and cherish and honer each other as they abide by the word of God and strive to advance His gospel through all means available to them.
The weather held up just long enough today to keep my Lange Farm record to 100% dry in spite of a few close calls, this one certainly being one of them.
Add delicious appetizers and an amazing Fillet Mignon entree to an already extraordinary venue and you have the perfect recipe for an amazing wedding.
I truly praise God for the opportunity to document Cameron and Ben’s wedding day at the Lange Farm, and I am grateful I was hired to shoot Cameron’s sister, Heather’s wedding as a result of the breathtaking coverage I provided at this wedding spectacular event, which took place at one of my favorite spots in the region, the Lange Farm in Dade City, FL.
If you find yourself contemplating the “farm” for your wedding, do so confidently knowing it ranks highly not only on my list, but on that of many wedding designers/coordinators throughout Central Florida.
