We’re continuing our vendor spotlights for the Gulf Coast Grand Wedding with a super fun vendor that will guarantee a party at the reception:
Read about them below ⬇️
“I’m Kaye Smith, the owner of Inflate Emerald Coast, a service specializing in modern inflatables and event coordination. Our bouncers provide great entertainment for any event, and their modern look can complement any aesthetic.

We’ve created memorable experiences for a range of events, from children’s first birthday parties to newlyweds celebrating their big day. We’re grateful to be a part of these significant milestones in people’s lives. There’s something incredibly rewarding about letting adults channel their inner child, laughing and bouncing until their bellies ache. You’ll never forget the experience of bouncing in a grand white castle, dressed in your finest, on your big day.

We look forward to collaborating with all these amazing vendors and making one couple’s dream wedding come true.”

Sweet baby Enzo is now in the arms of Jesus. Even though we do not understand, we trust God and know that He is still good.

For those that don’t know, I (Brittany) run our social media accounts. I can honestly say that I have never seen a more perfect baby boy. I have also never seen anyone handle something like this with such grace and resilience. Tim and Audrey are 2 of the strongest people I have ever met.

Please pray for Tim and Audrey and they grieve the loss of their baby boy 🩵
For those who have asked if they can send food to them—We originally said we would do a meal train, but they are not ready for visitors just yet. Instead, feel free to either:

- Send a monitary donation on Venmo
- Send e-gift cards to [email protected]

We appreciate every call, text, and messages of love and support more than you guys will ever know 🩵 We ask for your continued patience and flexibility during the next couple weeks. If you have any questions, Caleb is monitoring our inbox for the time being. We will respond to inquiries as we can.

PS: a HUGE THANK YOU to for squeezing in this photo shoot 🥹 The photos are SO beautiful!

Much love,
Phocus & Co

Put a finger down if you have the wedding professional dream team 🤘

We are SO stinking excited to introduce to y'all
F-O-U-R new team members to the Phocus & Company team-- Riley, Mahgell, Andrew, and Britt ⚡️

All 4 of our new team members are joining us just in time for the next wedding season as photographers and videographers. Not only that, but our previous intern, Sam, has officially joined the Phocus team as our full time Wedding Coordinator 🥳 Yes, it only took us 6 months to finally get a team photo with her in it 😂 Better late than never.

We are so excited for the upcoming wedding season and even more thrilled that we get to do it with this extremely talented crew. We'll be sharing more info about each of our new team members over the next couple weeks, so make sure to follow along 🤩

Presenting Mr. & Mrs. Cullen 🥂

Laura & Terrence both chose to write their own vows for their ceremony. There's something about brides and grooms writing their own vows. Don't get me wrong... it's not for everyone. BUT when they write from their heart on how they fell about the person they're standing across from and pledging their life to, there's just something so raw and special about it. When Laura and Terence both said their vows to each other, there were smiles all across that ceremony.

You can see more from their big day at the blog post below ⤵️

We loved working with the following vendors to make the Cullen wedding happen:
Venue & Catering | Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort
Hair & MUA | Bride Guide Pros
Dress | Schaffer's
Suit | Men's Wearhouse
DJ | Highlight Weddings And Events
Bakery | Sweet Henrietta's Treats
Floral | Bella Flora Weddings & Floral Design
Invitations | Zola

New home, new chapter!

We interrupt our normal posting schedule to tell you guys about some pretty exciting news!

Today we are saying goodbye to our first office! This is super bittersweet for us. Even though we have outgrown it, it will still always hold a special place in our hearts. It’s the place we met so many of you guys as we start your wedding planning journey; the place where we create, learn, and somehow manage all the craziness; Its also the place where we decided to merge Salt + Light Visuals with Phocus Photography. So many memories made here in such a short time.

We are moving literally across the street to what we have dubbed “The Office of our Dreams!” We’re going from a 500 sq ft studio, to a 2,000 sq ft office suite 😃 Our new space contains:
- 2 massive consult rooms
- A HUGE gear room
- 4 individual offices
- 1 group work space

We are SO excited to share more with you guys as we transform it in the coming weeks. Don’t worry, the greenery wall is coming with us!

A huge thank you to Mrs. Brenda at The Bridal Loft for renting us the space above the shop. We will miss our daily chats so much 😭

Here’s to the next chapter for Phocus & Company 🥂

(Also, if we look sweaty in this photo, it’s because we are 😂)
