A wedding is a pivotal moment in a couples life. It is so much more than a big party, It is a time where friends and family all come together to celebrate and support the newlyweds as they embark on a new journey in their relationship together. A wedding can evoke all kinds of emotions and every feeling is something special and worth remembering. It is my honor to be a wedding photographer and fly on the wall capturing those once in a lifetime moments.

Something that I adored greatly abuout Nick and Monica's wedding was getting to see all the little sentimental touches they inserted throughout the day. I loved being able to take pictures of Nick and Monica’s very supportive and excited families. I loved seeing how proud Nick's mom was of him and how excited Monica's mom was for her. Even though both have lost their fathers here on earth, the memory of them was not lost or minimized throughout their celebration and they both held a piece of their Dad near them throughout the whole day.

They could not have asked for a more beautiful beach day at the Henderson State Park in Destin, Florida. The weather was warm and breezy with a few kisses of clouds to add some color and dimension to the skyline.

After their beautiful ceremony, I was able to spend the last minutes of sunlight with the new happy couple take some of the most gorgeous wedding portraits. I knew that Nick and Monica did not plan on having a first dance together but thought they might enjoy a few minutes swaying together under the moonlight to their favorite song, Heaven by Kane Brown. I am so glad I got the chance to capture such sweet moments of them relaxing into each other arms as the embraced the first moment of married life together.

The Happy couple ended the night with their very cozy reception at the Marina Cafe in Destin. Here they were celebrated and finished the night off with some delicious food and forewords from the Destin Harbors summer weely firework show.
