The sun danced across the water pressing into the tall live oak trees that sat tucked along the winding landscape of the St. John’s River. Hidden amongst the 100 acres of lush greenery and live oaks, is the Marywood Retreat. It was the perfect location for a joyous celebration.
As her girls floated about from room to room, Caitlin sat near the window upstairs overlooking the grassy green lawn reminiscing on the last year together with her groom to be Teddy.
What started with a swipe to the right, quickly grew into long dinner dates cooking together, spending time outdoors hiking with their two pups Pippa and Scout, and spending Sunday evenings sitting on book stores floors curled up together finding new books to read (even though they have different tastes and Teddy thinks Science fiction is always the way to go.).
With the Florida sun sifting through the trees, Caitlin and Teddy stood hand in hand as they said their vows before family and friends. Together they vowed to love one another for all of the days ahead.
The evening was spent clinking glasses, toasting, and of course dancing in celebration of the new Mr. and Mrs. Connell.
Teddy and Caitlin, Your day will forever be one of my favorites! I love the way you two love each other, and the way your love makes those around you shine brighter! I’m so honored to have documented your first day as husband and wife. I am thankful to have been invited into your lives and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for you both!
