Melissa and Chris celebrated their love with an intimate destination wedding at one of our most beautiful beaches in Florida, Sand Key Beach. Surrounded by the serene beauty of white sandy shores and the gentle whisper of the ocean, they crafted a day that was both romantic and picturesque.

Pre-Ceremony Photos on the White Sand

Before exchanging their vows, Melissa and Chris took advantage of the stunning beach backdrop for their wedding photos. The soft, powdery sand and the endless horizon made for an exquisite setting. The couple's joy and anticipation were palpable as they posed for portraits that captured their love against the natural beauty of Sand Key Beach. She actually made her bouquet and had photos of her family members who were watching from heaven.

One of my favorite images happened just before the ceremony. As Chris opened the ring box for me to take a photo of their wedding rings, I saw something really cool. The reflection of Chris and the surrounding palm trees in the shiny surface of the ring box created an unexpected yet perfect composition.

A Palette of Pastels

Melissa had a unique vision for her wedding: she asked all her guests to wear pastel colors. This thoughtful request resulted in group photos that were nothing short of spectacular. The soft hues of pinks, blues, and lavenders blended harmoniously with the natural tones of the beach, creating a cohesive and visually pleasing aesthetic. The guests' attire complemented the serene setting, enhancing the overall elegance of the day.

A Joyous Ride on the Jolley Trolley

After the heartfelt ceremony, the celebration continued in a fun and festive manner. Melissa and Chris, along with their closest friends and family, hopped on the Jolley Trolley for a ride back to dinner. The trolley ride added a touch of whimsy and nostalgia to the day's events. Laughter and joy filled the air as the newlyweds and their loved ones enjoyed the scenic route, making memories that would last a lifetime.

Capturing the Essence of Love

Melissa and Chris’s wedding at Sand Key Beach was a perfect blend of intimacy, elegance, and joy. The combination of the stunning beach setting, the pastel color palette, and the unique moments made for a truly unforgettable day. It was an honor to capture these moments and be a small part of their journey!
