From Red Fly Studio...I thought I would submit this sweet intimate wedding that we photographed near the shrimp boats on the docks of the Apalachicola River. The bride and groom walked in at the same time, from opposite sides and met in the middle. Guests were seated in a semi-circle, and Alex and Allison were the completion of the circle. The ceremony was unique. Alex’s father married them, and they did not have a traditional bridal party. A few friends read passages. Alex read her a poem. There was a moment of silence, and a time that acknowledged those who could not be legally married.
Immediately following the ceremony, Alex and Allison took a walk by themselves while the guests lingered in the park to enjoy oysters and champagne. When Alex and Allison returned, their friends had flagged down some locals who were boating. The locals took them on a short excursion around the river, before we borrowed them for photos. The reception was in an old chocolate factory, and it was beautifully decorated. Everything seemed soft, even though there were cacti in the centerpieces. Honey was given away, and the napkins were made of fabric that would later be made into a wedding quilt. Photos of Alex and Allison together, from years ago (the first time they dated) were laid on the table with silhouette buttons that these two had made. Alex had drawn a tree for the “Leaf your fingerprint” guestbook. The work that Alex, Allison, and their families put into this wedding really shined through. It was probably the most unique wedding we had this year.

Love Love Love!!!!!!!! Red Fly is the BEST!!!!!!
Thanks so much for featuring our work on your awesome blog! You've make our day!!! Thanks! Allison and Alex really put a lot of thought and creativity in their special day and really shows. We loved getting to know them and having them in front of our cameras. Apalachicola, Florida is such a gem, there's lots of neat places for photos. We love it there.
Thank you so much for showcasing [I love] Red Fly Studio! I've had the privilege to work with them at a friend's wedding. They are incredibly detail-oriented and their work reflects it! Be sure to check out Thomasville, Georgia natives - www.theredflystudio.com! They will most certainly be photographing my nuptials! :)
Christina, This sounds like a very creative wedding. I like that you describe a little bit about the ceremony. The ceremony layout design sounds like the perfect way to set up the chairs to bring a feeling of intimacy and inclusiveness with your guests. I love how you incorporated the old time Silhouette type shadow picture into the couples monogram and the fabric for the napkins becoming the couples quilt. These subtle connections between the wedding day and your new life after marriage is very well thought out.
The couple taking a few minutes after the ceremony to wander, eat and drink a little together for a special moment by themselves is reminiscent of an ancient Jewish wedding custom called Yichud. We suggest to our couples when designing their ceremonies to include this in some creative way. It was great to see that Allison and Alex included this in their wedding day.

I follow the Red Fly Studio blog regularly because their photos are always stunning! I plan to fly those lovely ladies to Boston when my big day comes if possible. This wedding is definitely one of my favorites that's showcased on their website. What a beautiful intimate celebration!
Thanks you all!! Lauren, we'd love to fly to Boston for special day, whenever, that may be :) Thanks for following us. That makes us smile big time :)
I love the organic feel of this wedding and whimsical details! I was just in a wedding and the bride wore white Toms...I thought it was brilliant!
Love the whole vibe! Especially in love with the silhouette theme!!
Wow! What a great wedding. I love the shot of the doors to the reception hall with the flowers on each side, stunning! And the table set-ups are really gorgeous.
Beautiful wedding! One of my clients saw the wonderful place settings and wondered where they came from! Do share if you will! Thank you!
I love the large wood planters/vases. Do you know where they can be purchased from?
Red Fly photographed my wedding just 20 days ago! They were so amazing at calming my crazy bride nerves helped to make what would have been a pretty chaotic day absolutely perfect. My husband and I were married on my grandparent's property under tall, Georgia pines. I can't wait to see my pictures! I'm sure they are amazing!!
