In the tranquil embrace of the blue hour, I had the absolute joy of hanging out with C + A, who are getting married at the Emerald Grand this September!

As the golden sun dipped below the horizon, B and J found themselves on the sandy shores of the Florida Panhandle, surrounded by the Gulf breeze. With their companion C leading the way on the nature trail, we began their evening beach session, commemorating the beautiful memories they’ve built since they moved into the area in 2021.

Let me tell you a tale of love, laughter, and a pirate’s promise at C and A’s Emerald Grande wedding. Picture this: a couple so in love, they decided to embark on an adventure that would make even Jack Sparrow raise a glass in approval!
Now, before their grand “I do,” C + A decided to spice things up with a swashbuckling soirée aboard a pirate ship! Ah, yes! The evening before their big day, guests donned their best pirate hats and eye patches, setting sail into the sunset. What a spectacular prelude, right? Trust me; the excitement was as palpable as the salty sea breeze.

As the fall breeze finally swept through, C, A + I spent time on the quiet beaches of Destin running around and exploring. Their journey began when they encountered each other at an out-of-state church weekend some years ago.

WOW WOW WOW these two! Early morning sessions can sometimes be hard (because of it being early), but C + M made it look easy. They came with smiles on their face and all the energy to run around the beach! We all defiantly bonded over our shared love of food I always jump at the opportunity to give recommendations of my favorite locally owned places so if you ever want some recs I’ve got you!

When you get engaged a few weeks before your Florida trip you make sure to get engagement photos done B came across my Instagram profile days before their trip to the Panhandle and I luckily had some availability to capture the sweetness that is their relationship while on their vacation.
