Shannon and Kervin’s Clearwater Wedding

Our Special Moments Event Planning team adored working with this incredible couple, their family, and friends. Shannon and Kervin have known each other for more than a decade, and it’s wonderful to see how much in love they are.

 

 

Hair, Makeup, and Getting Ready

For Shannon and the ladies, the day began with on-site hair and makeup services. The photography and videography team captures special moments and their beautiful details.

 

 

Meanwhile, on another floor of the resort, Kervin was getting ready with his guys. His best man (and wedding officiant) took point to ensure he looked sharp and stayed on time.

 

 

Time With Dad

After getting ready, it was time for Shannon to have a little special time with her dad. It was really touching. The bride had a special note for her father. They took some family photos with mom, and then it was off for Shannon’s first look with Kervin.

 

 

A First Look With A Spectacular Backdrop

With Kervin standing on his balcony overlooking Clearwater and the Gulf of Mexico, Shannon made her way onto the balcony, touching Kervin on the shoulder and creating some magical moments.

 

 

A Sky Full Of Stars

Outside on the resort’s event lawn, everything was in place for this beautiful Clearwater wedding ceremony. With the soft sound of a string trio setting the stage, beautiful arrangements in white and green framed the ceremony space with clusters of flowers lining the aisle.

 

 

With everyone in their places, the groom made his way down the aisle, followed by the wedding party, and last but certainly not least, his stunning bride-to-be, escorted by her father to an instrumental version of “I Can’t Help Falling In Love.”

 

 

The couple exchanged wedding rings and vows surrounded by family and friends, sealing their vows with a kiss, then made their exit to “A Sky Full Of Stars!”

 

 

Cheers!

After a quick toast with the wedding party, it was time for guests and the wedding party to enjoy cocktails and light bites while the couple headed off for some time alone.

 

 

Gold Hour And A Beautiful Clearwater Sunset

While everyone enjoyed cocktail hour, the newlyweds headed to the beach for some incredible wedding portraits. The Golden Hour, the time just before sunset, boasts the most magical light of the day and is ideal for photography. And nothing beats a beautiful Clearwater sunset!

 

 

Dinner and Dancing

Inside the resort’s ballroom, everything was in place for a special evening. Tables draped in crisp white linen and gold chivari chairs surrounded an oversized white dance floor.

 

 

Each table was set with a gold charger plate, a custom menu card, and a collection of tiny vases with white and green flowers.

 

 

Off to one side was the couple’s beautiful sweetheart table, and just to the side of their table was their fun cookie cake – the perfect wedding cake!

 

 

 

 

Following introductions, the newlyweds took to the dancefloor for their spectacular first dance. Their dance led into special family dances, a welcome by the couple, and several touching toasts.

 

 

Following a delicious multicourse dinner, Shannon and Kervin cut their cake and took to the dance floor for the rest of the evening to dance the night away!

 

 

Congratulations, Shannon and Kervin! Wishing you a lifetime full of special moments!
