Your engagement photos don’t need to be serious!

You can spin around, crack up, kiss like nobody’s watching, and still end up with photos that feel romantic and fun ✨ It doesn’t have to be one or the other.

You can spin, laugh, trip over each other, kiss in public—and still end up with the kind of photos that feel romantic and real.

Palm Beach (or South Florida in general) is perfect for this with its elevated yet laidback vibes.

Planning Palm Beach engagement photos? Save this. Or better yet—just send me the date and we’ll make it happen 😎

Kate & Corey’s wedding took us back to Charleston and was planned around being with their people as much as possible!

Nothing overplanned + nothing stiff (definitely helps when your photo backdrops are ✨chefs kiss✨). Just room to relax and a full-on party once the sun went down!

They had martinis. Ci**rs. A sax player going off next to the DJ. Ya know, the kind of fun wedding reception that starts strong and only gets louder, sweatier, and better!

This is the kind of wedding I want more of 🤩 whether it’s in Tampa, St Augustine, or anywhere else with a planner who gets it and can build a wedding reception that flows effortlessly!

By this point in the night, dinner’s done, the candles are low, and the conversation’s are starting to get good, loud, and real. This is the version of Florida weddings I’ll never get tired of.!Thoughtful design, and totally alive but nothing too perfect.

Design matters. But so does what happens around it.

Are you planning for what your reception looks like—or how it’s gonna feel once everything kicks in?

Girl, bye 👋🏻

Weather doesn’t ruin the moment—it is the moment!
The wind ripped Lindsay’s veil out just as she started walking down the aisle. She (literally) waved it off, and kept going.

Nothing about this moment was planned—and that’s exactly what made it iconic, the unexpected is what you remember! So make sure you stay present and let the day be what it is

I have been absolutely behind on sharing so much great content…because I have TOO MUCH great content to share 😩 it gets paralyzing if I’m being honest.

So here are some photos from the last two years traveling to Rome, Italy with one of my best friends, .blonde! I have so much Italy content to share so I’m doing it region by region for now and Rome has to come first!

Fun fact: we almost got abducted while in Rome so, ya know, be wary of your surroundings and don’t follow hotel employees to other “hotels” at 3 in the morning just because everywhere is booked up - just sleep at the airport on the floor 🤡 still love Rome though, bad things can happen anywhere!

Ashley & Heather didn’t want a “theme” for their wedding, but they did pull inspiration from A Midsummer Night’s Dream! Not in an obvious, theatrical way. It was more like… atmosphere, through the soft light, layered florals, and rich colors woven through the design.

⁠If you’re just getting started planning your wedding and drowning in Pinterest, here’s your reminder: your favorite book, a scene from a movie, that one garden you can’t stop thinking about, those are great places to start finding inspiration instead!

Design rooted in what moves you always translates better than following a trend.⁠
⁠ Let it be a feeling! The rest will follow ✨

A beautiful engagement gallery isn’t just about pretty light and perfect poses (though don’t worry—we’ll get those too).

It’s about movement. Vibes. Realness. A little bit of the unexpected.

That might mean:

• 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘥𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘤 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘥𝘰𝘸𝘴

Have all of these types of images mixed in will make your gallery feel stylish, fresh, effortless, personal. And that’s what we’re after!

The Florida Keys are like eye candy, but like, just imagine your wedding with views like this! The Keys have got a “laid-back luxury wedding weekend” vibe written all over them.

Your guests will be instantly relaxed (island life, right?), the two of you taking a stroll between palm trees , your sailcloth tent sways in the breeze while someone hands you a tequila shot, and the most vibrant sunsets over the bluest water you’ve ever seen!

If you’re dreaming of a relaxed wedding that feels easy and elevated (and very, very Florida), you should definitely consider one of the 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘺 Florida Keys locations!

From day to night, Alex made sure he had FUN on his wedding day!

About 80% of the photos I take are documentary—real, candid, in-the-moment. But that other 20% is where we take a second to make sure it looks good 🤌🏻

This moment of Natalie’s bridesmaid fixing her veil wasn’t just about getting the perfect portrait of Natalie & Jackson(but damn do they look good)—it 𝙬𝙖𝙨 the perfect documentary moment because I didn’t ask them to fix the veil!

That quiet act of care for their best friend, the attention to detail—it’s part of the story, and it’s exactly why a mix of curated and candid makes for the most complete gallery!

If you’re planning a Florida wedding, let’s create a gallery that feels effortless but looks next-level.

Let Margaret Anne & Chad convince you that a church wedding can be beautiful & elevated but not stuffy (and that it’s okay to embrace color!!) 💁🏼‍♀️

Lived-in details > perfectly styled. Interesting light, natural textures, human connection, unexpected backdrops and the kind of effortless beauty that happens when you stop overthinking it!

(And do I have a shoe obsession? It’s possible)

Sam and Cameron during the sweetest poolside toast. These emotional, real moments are what I love to capture.

If you’re planning a wedding in Florida, we’d love to be there to get your moments that feel like this!

Backyard wedding? Yes. Low-key? 𝘛𝘦𝘤𝘩𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺. But fashion can absolutely still be high! Save this 𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙞 𝙛𝙖𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙜𝙪𝙞𝙙𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙝𝙞𝙜𝙝-𝙨𝙩𝙮𝙡𝙚, 𝙡𝙤𝙬-𝙠𝙚𝙮 𝙆𝙚𝙮 𝙒𝙚𝙨𝙩/𝘾𝙤𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙡 𝙁𝙡𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙙𝙖 𝙬𝙚𝙙𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 🌴

Just because you’re getting married under palm trees instead of a ballroom chandelier doesn’t mean you have to tone it down! If anything, this is your chance to turn it up 😉

Some Key West-inspired fashion ideas to run with:

•Sunset shades—rich oranges, golden yellows, and soft corals that literally glow in golden hour light

•Flowy fabrics—because stiff and structured doesn’t belong in the tropics (bonus: wind + a good twirl = iconic photos)

•Citrus details—printed ties, beaded clutches, and statement accessories that feel fun, not forced

•Ocean blues—whether it’s a linen suit, a breezy dress, or a pop of color in the details, it’s always a good idea

•Texture—ruffles, pleats, fringe, or anything that moves beautifully when you do, or even a rattan woven bag to match the chairs and plate chargers!

Basically, take a little inspo from the sunset, the ocean, the natural textures and the citrus trees, then add your own spin! Your wedding may be relaxed, but the fashion can still be killer!

Wind in her hair, sand under their feet, and not a single awkward “what do I do with my hands?” moment in sight!

Just two people completely caught up in this moment—laughing, twirling, running barefoot like they’re in a rom-com.

Palm Beach at sunset is kinda undefeated. Whether you’re dreaming of engagement photos at 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘉𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘳𝘴, 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘺, 𝘝𝘪𝘻𝘤𝘢𝘺𝘢, or just a quiet stretch of sand, we’ll make images that are about movement, joy, and actually feel like you. No stiff poses, no stress—just real moments, captured effortlessly!
