"The Thirsty Ranch offers premier mobile bar stations and bartending services. We serve the entire Gulf Coast and beyond with our award-winning beverages and southern hospitality.
We take pride and helping you create a beverage experience for any celebration!"
We often get asked the question, "Where's the best place to take engagement photos?" And the truth is...the list is endless 🤣
Here's a list of some of our favorite places we've done in the Pensacola area to help you narrow down your choices ⬇️ 💍📸

We love a good Second Line Parade at a wedding 💜💛💚
If you're from the South, I can almost guarantee that you've heard of this tradition that originated in New Orleans. But, why do couple choose this at their wedding? According to historians, it symbolizes the start of a new life for the couple.
Not only does it have great symbolism, but it also is a great experience to get all of your guests involved in ☂️
Today is National Parents Day and we are celebrating the unsung heroes of every love story: our parents. As a wedding photo team, we are privileged to witness the profound bond between parents and their children on one of the most significant days of their lives. 💍✨
From the first steps we take to the moment we walk down the aisle, our parents are there, guiding us with unwavering love and support. On the wedding day, their roles shine brightly – a father's steady hand, a mother's warm embrace, and the proud smiles that tell a lifetime of stories.
To all the parents out there, thank you for your endless love, your sacrifices, and your unwavering belief in our dreams. Your presence makes every wedding day more special and every moment more meaningful.
Happy National Parents Day! 💕
We're back to highlighting our incredible vendors for this year's Gulf Coast Grand Wedding giveaway 🥂🤍✨
Today, we're introducing the ladies behind Lesley & Brandon's rehearsal dinner, Fete + Flora. Here's a little about this dynamic duo that is bringing Lesley & Brandon's love for the movies come to life with a romantic, Old Hollywood themed rehearsal dinner at Lily Hall:
"Fete + Flora Events is an all inclusive planner and floral designer team. Rebekah + Jennifer believe that attention to detail and timeless designs create unforgettable events for their clients. They have been planning and designing events along the gulf coast for over 10 years. We are so thrilled and honored to be a part of Lesley and Brandon's wedding. We do not take lightly the memories that will be created on such an occasion. We are excited to make their vision come to life for their Rehearsal Dinner. Our hope is that they are able to be present and enjoy all the aspects leading up to the day of the wedding. Rehearsal Dinners are a wonderful opportunity for the couple to enjoy time with their family and close friends before the hustle and bustle of the big day. Cheers to both Lesley and Brandon. We hope you have a wonderful grand wedding day!!!"

A trend that we've been seeing lately is having the bridal sit on the front row, rather than at the front with you.
While some couples choose to do this because there isn't enough space at a venue, some couples choose to simply do it so their closest friends/family can have a front row seat to the most important moment of the couples' lives.
What do you think of the trend?

Alison, Derrik, and their closest friends and family traveled to our beautiful beach to get married on this past 4th of July weekend.

It was such a sweet and intimate wedding, filled with so much love! Full blog post coming soon!

Happy Independence Day from Phocus & Company 🇺🇸
We have had such a great time getting to know the Gulf Coast Grand Wedding winning couple, Lesley & Brandon. Hear more about their love story in this video 🤍
We are in full planning mode for the Gulf Coast Grand Wedding Giveaway! Last week was a full week of venue tours, tastings, and meetings with our winning couple and a huge chunk of our vendor team. It's pretty incredible how much we are able to get done in one week 👏👏👏
We are continuing our vendor spotlight with Hemstitch Rentals, who will be providing the decor rentals for the wedding. Here's more about them ⬇️
Hemstitch Rentals has offered the Emerald Coast a unique approach to event rentals and decor for weddings, showers, & events of all types since 2011. Hemstitch’s inventory is one-of-a-kind and has been carefully curated over time with the purpose of offering beautiful rentals for every client and their unique styles. The owner, Megan, shares that while she LOVES the process of styling rentals and watching the client’s vision come to life on event day, her favorite part of owning a rental business is developing relationships with her clients and keeping in touch with them, even after the event is over.
Fun fact: Megan’s sister and brother-in-law were the recipients of a wedding giveaway in 2013. Megan and her family quickly developed a relationship with the business’ original owner and founder, Angela Haley. So much so, that Megan started working alongside Angela when she was in high school to service weddings and events. She took over ownership in 2021! Her entire journey with Hemstitch Rentals started with a wedding giveaway.

I know that clouds on your wedding day can seem scary, because clouds could mean rain—especially here in Florida. But we are here to tell you that cloudy skies on your wedding is actually a GOOD thing! As Northwest FL wedding photographers, we LOVE when the weather is a little overcast on a wedding day because it is actually better for taking photos. Clouds act as a natural diffuser, creating soft, even lighting conditions. Not to mention, that little bit of cloud coverage can make a blazing hot, summer day on Pensacola Beach not make you feel like you’re going to melt instantly as you walk outside 🤣 . . . #pensacolaweddings #pensacolaweddingphotographer #weddingtips #weddingtrends #floridaweddingphotographer #30aweddings #30aweddingphotographer #weddingreels #pensacolaweddingvideographer #30aweddingvideographer

From the first steps she took, to the moment she steps into her wedding dress, a father’s love is a guiding light, a steady hand, and a heart full of unwavering support. For the bride, her father is the first man she ever loved, her hero, her protector. For the groom, he is a symbol of what it means to love, honor, and cherish. As we celebrate this union, we honor the fathers who shape our lives with their wisdom, strength, and unconditional love. To all the fathers, today and every day, thank you for your love. Happy Father’s Day. . . . #pensacolaweddings #pensacolaweddingphotographer #weddingtips #weddingtrends #floridaweddingphotographer #30aweddings #30aweddingphotographer #weddingreels #pensacolaweddingvideographer #30aweddingvideographer
