About these Don Cesar Wedding Photos...

Kelley and Alden had their wedding ceremony on the beach out back at the Don CeSar Beach Resort. Kelley and Alden met in American Samoa and I was really excited to meet them in person at their wedding since we had only spoken on Skype before the wedding.

The wedding reception was held inside the Don CeSar in one of the ballrooms that overlooks the Gulf of Mexico. Kelley and Alden had a perfect sunset and everyone went outside on the patio to watch the sun set on the horizon. Kelley and Alden had custom rings made and I couldn't take enough photos of them! They were awesome! Alden had the shell that he used to propose to Kelley so I included that in some of the photos, too.

The Don CeSar Resort was built in 1925 by Thomas Rowe for Lucinda, who played the lead role in William Vincent Wallaces opera Maritana which Rowe attended while in Europe. The opera included a dashing hero named Don CeSar. When Thomas Rowe returned to America he never forgot Lucinda and after building his real estate empire he built the Don CeSar Resort as a tribute to his lost love.

Weddings at the Don CeSar share this romantic atmosphere, along with a view of the beach and the beautiful Gulf of Mexico. This historic site is one of St. Pete Beach's most popular wedding locations.
