Ashley & Trevan's Breakers Palm Beach Wedding captured by Sarah DiCicco Photography.

As you look through these images, it is quite obvious why I love this couple and their family… Blonde bombshells, idyllicÂ setting, exceptional taste & impeccable sense of design. But these are actually least of the reasons why I love this family!

I was first introduced to theÂ BegleyÂ Family throughÂ Brynne, the first of the daughters to get married.Â Brynne’s wedding was at the Union League in Philadelphia. Since then,Â BrynneÂ and Ryan have had two beautiful babies and IÂ have photographedÂ them ever since. Then AshleyÂ andÂ TrevanÂ becameÂ engaged and I was one of the first calls!

The Begley family spends their family vacations every year at The Breakers Hotel in Palm Beach Florida. They happily refer to it as their “Happy Place” and it’s easy to see why. With the girls growing up vacationing at The Breakers and having so many wonderful experiences there, it was easy to see how they were so inspired! Ashley knew thisÂ wasÂ where she wanted to get married. She is also the lead designer in print and patterns for Lily Pulitzer who has a flagship store at The Breakers with her painting covering the walls. Ashley’s art is inspired by the colors and patterns seen in Palm Beach.

The energy and determination that Ashley andÂ TrevanÂ bring to their everyday life isÂ awe-inspiring. TrevanÂ usedÂ thatÂ same determination to track down Ashley after briefly seeing her on a train and then following her in a cab.

The morning of the wedding was full of laughter, sunlight and beautiful details. With The Breakers being such a special place, for the bride and her family, we made sure to take some time before the ceremony for portraits. One thing I know about Ashley is she likes things a little out of the ordinary with a refined style. So when she gave the girls beach hatsâ€¦ we decided to use them for some bridesmaid portraits.

The Royal Poinciana Chapel was the perfect setting for their vows and portraits after the ceremony. The sun shined through the palmÂ trees, creatingÂ that beach glow that every bride dreams of! As we were completing our portraits, I asked Ashley and Trevan if they wanted to go intoÂ their cocktailÂ hour or try for some beach portraitsâ€¦

Without hesitation they opted for the beach photos, yay. As we walked to the beach the sight of crashing waves hitting the Breakers with force gave me pause. Before I could say anything we had kicked off our shoes and Trevan swiped Ashley into his arms and made a run for it. Timing the waves to make sure they did not hit them or us, we made it through to a “dry” space. At first we were all very excited and full of energy, but when I said lets take a moment and feel the calmness of the ocean, they did just that. These images are some of my absoluteÂ favoritesÂ from the entire day.

After cleaning sand off our feet, getting the bride and groom into their cocktail reception, we were off to photograph the ballroom! Larger than life bouquets ofÂ baby’sÂ breath filled the room, Every detail provided by The Breakers Design Studio and staff was exquisite, they truly capture the family’s vision and some. The dreamy cloud painted ceiling, arches, columns and checkered floor were absolutely beautiful features to the exceptionalÂ tablescapesÂ filling the room. Keeping with the style of the ballroom, white and gold filled the room. A very special detailÂ ofÂ the tables were the patterned napkins created by Ashley. Ashley used that same pattern for groomsmen shorts, invitation, wedding website and napkins. She is a truly talented artist.

The rest of the eveningÂ was filledÂ with hysterical moments like; A lift at the end of their first dance and TrevanÂ surprising Ashley with his groomsmenÂ choreographedÂ serenade featuring light-up shoes.Â Tony and I were beyond thrilledÂ to join them on this most memorable trip and photograph them atÂ their “Happy Place”!

A little thank you to the Begley family: I hold your family near my heart and you will forever be one of my most cherished clients! Thank you forÂ allowing meÂ the creativeÂ freedom toÂ create stunning images of your most cherished moments!
