Casey and Mark had a great day at Club Continental in Orange Park, Florida.  Although the weather did not cooperate for an outdoor ceremony, the day was none the less beautiful for all the participants.
Casey and Mark wanted a 1930′s “look” for the guys, complete with pinstripe suits and fedoras!  Check out the shoes too!

We did manage some outside shots while the weather allowed.

The Goodfellas!

Mark looks like he is waiting on the rum-runner boat to come in off the river any time.

Beautiful couple, great day.

Yesterday the USS F.D. Roosevelt, DDG 80, returned from a seven month deployment.  Families and friends were there for the very emotional homecoming.  To help repay in a small way some of the sacrifices these servicemembers and their families make, an organization called OpLove Reunited was formed.  Participating photographers donate their efforts to document deployments and homecomings for these families.

Here are a few photographs from yesterday.

The USO was there, along with volunteers giving out small flags to those that attended.

The big moment.  Seven sailors aboard the Roosevelt had new babies to see for the first time.  This was one of them.

Local news channels covered the event.

More families, more moments.  A special time.

We had a great day with Cleary and Paul Saturday.  The wedding was at St. Paul’s in Riverside and the reception was at Club Continential in Orange Park.  Beautiful couple, beautiful day.
