I loved MaryBeth and DJ’s wedding on the beach! The weather and light were perfect. Their ceremony was so nice with a few family, friends and their sweet little sons.
From Marybeth: We met online! Haha. We were friends for a few months just talking and hanging out for a while then realized we had something more! I love him because he brings out the best in me, truly. I have never laughed harder or cried harder but I feel true passion with him. And he’s an amazing dad to our two boys. We wanted to get married on the beach because I adore sunset wedding pictures with the sea in the background I think they are gorgeous so I knew we had to do it there.
We love to photograph all events! Including graduations 🙂

Describe your wedding day style in one sentence A laid-back, romantic backyard gathering.
Favorite memory of the day Seeing each other for our “first look,” which is also when we read our vows. It felt like we could completely focus on the promises we were making to each other.
What songs?
First dance: “My Funny Valentine” Father/daughter dance: “Your Song” by Elton John Mother/son dance: “I Will” by the Beatles
Wedding day color scheme Shades of blue and gold with a little green
Describe your wedding planning process A team effort! I used theknot.com/Pinterest/etc., but I think working with local vendors was the most helpful part. Jimmy and I tried to focus on a few details that were important to us, so we prioritized picking our favorite music, good food, and a fun venue. Everything else came together once we settled on those pieces. We were really fortunate to have an amazing team of vendors who were excellent sounding boards.
What advice would you give to future brides for their wedding day? It’s cliché, but I needed to hear this: try to have fun and go with the flow! Everyone who agreed to come to your wedding is there because they care about you and your partner, so just know you’re surrounded by the love and support of your community.
Anything you would have done differently? Nope!
Most memorable moment during the planning process: At some point, Jimmy bought a large countdown clock for our wedding day (the kind with giant, red, illuminated numbers counting down the days, hours, minutes and seconds) and it was displayed prominently in his living room for over 400 days – it was hilariously absurd! It was kinda fun to see the countdown from 100 days, 50 days, etc. though!
What are you most looking forward to as a married couple? Traveling and cooking together more!
Which moment are you the most excited to see in photos? We’re excited to see lots of candid moments – first dances, hugs with friends and family, goofy faces from our dogs.
What was your wedding inspiration? We wanted it to be a fun dinner party with elegant touches- some DIY, some rustic/natural details, but overall the kind of party where people could relax and enjoy the scenery. The string quartet and live band were a big part of creating that atmosphere, and so were the details of the venue! We loved the remote location, the trees, the open fields surrounding the property, the airplanes, the alpacas, and the unique AirBnb properties.
Describe some of your favorite wedding details and how you came up with them. We loved finding ways to incorporate things we both love, like coffee and tea! The wedding favors were from Trilogy Coffee and Centro Tea Company, which was something we’d wanted from the beginning. Also, instead of printing programs, we commissioned a friend (Rachel Fox Art) to paint signs with the schedule/details for the evening – they were lovely AND we didn’t have to worry about distributing anything! One of the most meaningful details, though, was having my big brother as the officiant for the ceremony – that was a great moment.
Did you know we can also photograph your wedding rehearsal dinner?! Such a nice time with Sara and Jimmy and their amazing friends and family at Enzo’s on the Lake. It was a beautiful “The Night Before.” Wedding planner: Courtney Ford Event Design.

Off The Beaten Path is an event created by a federation of practicing artists with a shared purpose and vision. The group’s mission statement is to “showcase and increase awareness and appreciation of Central Florida’s finest professional and emerging artists, as well as cultural institutions that are ‘off the beaten path’.”
John Wilton, an artist and retired Daytona State College visual arts instructor, has been on the grassroots steering committee to make the tour a reality, first for West Volusia and now East Volusia.
“Lake County started this studio tour, this was their seventh tour,” Mr. Wilton said. “Their vision was to make it a Central Florida endeavor. There were some of us that had been thinking about this in Deland, so we finally said let’s go ahead and do it. West Volusia joined up with them and used their model for this.”
The West Volusia Off The Beaten Path Florida Arts Tour was Feb. 24-25. Visitors saw 16 artists in 14 different studios.
Mr. Wilton lives in Deland and works with mixed mediums, multiple disciplines, contemporary, and pop art.
“I am involved to promote personal tourism in Deland,” he said. “The overall goal for the artists is to get exposure and to have people come out and see and hopefully purchase their work. The goal for the visitor is how often are you invited into an artist’s studio to see how they make it, where they make it, the tools, the process. We feel it is really quite an opportunity for the cultural adventurer to come out and look and see what we do and how we do it.”
