Tarpon Springs Wedding Officiant and Photographer Perform Wedding On Boat ! Yes, we did! And here’s the awesome story and pictures:
Heather James & Lee Flowers met online through a match making site called Chemistry.com They knew they were right for each other, fell in love, and wanted to get married. So Heather searched for a Tarpon Springs Wedding Officiant and Photographer Perform Wedding On Boat and sure enough she found us! Heather arranged for Charmaine to officiate their wedding on their boat in Hudson, FL . She also arranged for George Sr. to be their photographer.
This adventurous boat weddings started at Source 1 Marina where Lee is the business owner. The wedding took place on 3/7/2014 at 4:30pm. We were going out to sea and the wedding was going to be at sunsent on the boat or a remote island. After the wedding and pictures, Charmaine and George Sr. were brought back to shore by another boat because Heather & Lee were going to spend the weekend on the boat traveling to Honeymoon Island & Caladesi Island. When the big day was here it was questionable whether or not we would be able to go out on the boat as the weather was cold and had been raining all morning. Fortunately, it the weather cleared up so we were able to go out on the boat….but it was a cold ride. Since it was cold, Lee decided to venture out to Anclote Island where we had the ceremony. Lee had a nice Century walk-around cabin fishing boat. It was fun! Just before sunset we arrived on Anclote Island- just three miles offshore from Tarpon Springs, FL. We first sighted the Anclote Key lighthouse which was built in 1887 on the southern end of Anclote Key. The lighthouse was discontinued in 1984, however, in January 2003 International Chimney Corporation began an eighteen month restoration project on the tower & nearby oil house. This culminated a relighting ceremony on Sept 13, 2003.

We docked on the island, walked to the lighthouse, and had the wedding ceremony nearby. We were the only ones on the island!
