Ali + Deven // Navarre Beach Marine Park Wedding

June 29, 2023

When we arrived to set up to film Ali and Deven’s wedding day, we met them on the beach. They had already done a first look and had made their way down there to check out their ceremony setup.

A lot of couples don’t get a chance to really take in all of their ceremony decor because by the time they get there, the guests are sitting and the ceremony is starting. If you’re doing a first look, I highly suggest also setting aside time to do this. It was really sweet seeing Ali and Deven’s excited reactions to their decor, including their seriously epic sand castle.

These two were so fun and so funny. Well, I should say these 3 because their doggo Ellie was a feature of the wedding day. She walked Deven down the aisle, helped inspire the cake decoration, and had her own signature cocktail.

Congratulations Ali and Deven (and Ellie)!

Cheyenne + Stephen // Navarre Wedding House

June 19, 2023

I know a lot of couples will stress about rainy weather on their beach wedding day, but Cheyenne and Stephen were quite the opposite. The radar was looking iffy, but they both said “Well, we got engaged in the rain so we can get married in the rain!” Their calmness was rewarded and the rain held off until later in their reception. Plus during their ceremony, the skies were full of beautiful, dramatic cloud coverage that kept it from being too hot on the beach.

Cheyenne and Stephen booked a 6 hour package with me which gave us plenty of time to capture lots of footage of them getting ready at the Navarre Wedding House, their ceremony just a short walk away at beach access 37A, and their reception back at the wedding house.

Their wedding day had a couple firsts for me:
1. Unity Branding – I’ve filmed many different unity ceremonies (sand, candles, knot tying, etc) but this was my first branding!
2. Flower Grannies – I think these were my first flower grannies…either way, what a cute way to include grandparents in the ceremony!

This was such a great wedding day for such a wonderful couple. Congrats Cheyenne and Stephen!!

Shyla + Derek // Sweet Southern Destin Wedding

June 9, 2023

I hope you’re ready for a good ol’ fashioned sweet, southern wedding day! Shyla and Derek’s wedding took me back to my Tennessee videography years. They were just the nicest family; everyone was so warm and welcoming. No pressure, no stress, all smiles all around. Shyla’s mom had booked my Wedding Plus Package for her daughter’s wedding day, and they chose to use that 2 hours of coverage to capture Shyla getting ready, her first look with Derek and their ceremony at Henderson Beach State Park.

Brinley + Cody // Port St Joe Wedding

June 4, 2023

Brinley and Cody’s wedding ceremony had everything: the sweetest couple in the world, super supportive friends & family, beautiful beaches with no crowds (thank you, Port St Joe!), gorgeous decor, & a dachshund in a tutu! I was pumped when Brinley reached out to me to film her Cape San Blas ceremony. I had never filmed a wedding there before, but I visited it for the first time last year. That area is such a hidden gem; I knew a beach ceremony there would be absolutely beautiful. Congrats Brinley & Cody!

Logan and Austin’s wedding day was EVERYTHING! Austin’s mom reached out to me about filming her son’s wedding day and I’m so glad she gifted this to them. We were able to capture so many wonderful moments from their ceremony and reception, and they’ll always have this keepsake from their wedding day. #momsknowbest So a Happy Belated Mother’s day to all the mamas out there who know a wedding video makes the perfect wedding gift that your family will cherish forever!

If you’re looking for a Destin wedding venue for your ceremony and reception, I highly recommend you check out the Emerald Grande. Their Captain’s Deck is the perfect location for elegant wedding ceremonies and I adore the HarborView Room for receptions.

Lacy + Eric // Okaloosa Island Ceremony

May 17, 2023

So pumped for my first 2023 wedding! Lacy and Eric had a happy little ceremony coordinated by Forever I Do Weddings on Okaloosa Island. Lacy has one of those smiles that’s just contagious, and it’s always fun working with couples who bring those good vibes. Admittedly, blue is my color so I am loving these suits on Eric and their boys. Congrats Lacy and Eric!

Brittany + Lacey // Henderson Beach Ceremony

February 14, 2023

Writing your own wedding vows adds such a personalized touch to your wedding ceremony. Brittany and Lacey shared their sweet words to each other in front of their friends and family at their Henderson Beach State Park ceremony. This is one of my favorite local beach ceremony locations because it tends to be less crowded than our other beaches, plus the staff there is always so friendly and helpful. Their round arch was absolutely perfect and I’m pretty sure this was the first time I saw brown guest seating on the beach, and I was really diggin it. The sand here is so white that classic, white chairs can just disappear into them. These chairs really made a statement and made it feel like a more formal ceremony. Congrats Brittany and Lacey!
