Tower Power | Joy + Rich

I flew down to Florida to photograph the wedding of my sister Joy and my new brother-in-law Rich. A small ceremony and reception was held at the Bok Tower in Lake Wales, followed by an open house later in the evening at the couple’s new home.

My family and I just returned from Florida to have a mini-vacation and attend my sister’s wedding. Being a photographer, I also did double-duty as the wedding photographer.

On our last full day, we packed a lunch and headed off to Sun Splash, a local waterpark, located in Cape Coral, Florida. As luck would have it, thunderstorms rolled in 30 minutes after the park opened. The park decided to close until 2:00p. Luckily for us, the park is only 5 minutes from my parent’s home, so it wasn’t too much of a hassle.

Because we were flying out the next day, we decided to use the rain checks they gave us to go back at 2:00p. The upside to this was the park was nearly empty. We had a troop of about 15 people, and that probably was about a quarter of all patrons in the park for the rest of the day. No lines, no waiting, no problems.
