After a 30-minute unexpected downpour of rain, the clouds separated and the sun shined through just as Bella and Sam had their first kiss as husband and wife at the St. Pete Pier in St. Petersburg, Florida.
With no rain in the forecast, an unexpected downpour began only a few short minutes before the ceremony. With the expertise of Kandace McElroy Events, Bella and Sam's wedding day didn't skip a beat. As soon as the rain subsided, Kandace and her team worked tirelessly to make their outdoor ceremony a reality! As the sun came out, guests were escorted to the al fresco cocktail hour and reception, right on the water to enjoy the rest of the evening.

"Matlock and Kelly are the real deal! I cannot tell you enough how amazing our wedding photos turned out. I shared with them my aesthetic and vision for how I saw the day and what I would like to see the pictures come out as and they took it and made it even better than I could’ve imagined. They captured so many intimate details from the day that I wanted to cherish and never forget. Looking back on all the photos makes my heart so warm and fills me and my husband with so much joy because they are exactly how I remember the day; perfect, full of love, full of joy, light and surrounded by love and support. Every single photo takes me back to that special day. When we were looking around we were initially blown away by their wide array of amazing photo shoots. I can truly say that given their experience, quality and skill we got a steal of a deal! I highly recommend Matlock and Kelly. Both have such a beautiful eye behind the camera"
