Rayna & Jon | Amazing Love Ministries & CL Space Wedding, Ybor City
You may remember Rayna & Jon from their adorable fruit stand and farm engagement last year, but you should know them for their beautiful wedding at Amazing Love Ministries and CL space in Ybor City. These two are so committed to giving back in everything they do and their wedding was no exception to that. Whether it was printing their invitations on paper that could be planted when you were done reading and RSVP-ing, or making bouquets out of old hymnal pages, or using local vendors like Holy Hog Barbecue for their reception, or even getting married in the chapel at the ministry to the homeless that they volunteer with Jon and Rayna were determined to love their city well through their wedding. It was an honor to be a part of this day, enjoy the pictures and check out all their incredible vendors and if you too have a giving back or CL Space Wedding, give me a call! ;)
