with beach views, palm-lined vows, and a timeless love story

Package: 8 hours, Add-on: Film

Courtney and Dane’s wedding day was a picture-perfect blend of elegance and ease—one of those beautiful Florida weddings that just makes your heart slow down and soak it all in. They chose the Hilton Naples for their big day, which gave us the best of both worlds: lush greenery on the terrace and golden sands just a short shuttle ride away.

We kicked things off with getting ready moments and flat lays. Courtney’s details were dreamy—soft, romantic tones, and floral touches that tied into her vision perfectly. Her bridesmaids wore mix-and-match dresses in florals and shades of pink, creating a palette that was light, feminine, and uniquely them. The energy in the room was full of laughter & happy nerves.

One of my favorite parts of the day was Courtney and Dane’s first look on the terrace, surrounded by palms and greenery. They took a quiet moment to exchange personal vows—just the two of them, away from the crowd—which made for such an emotional and intimate start to their celebration.

After soaking that in, we took some time in the Hilton’s elegant lobby (because when a hotel has that kind of architecture, you use it!). Then we gathered the crew for bridal party photos, full of fun, love, and genuine joy. From there, we all hopped on a shuttle to the beach, where the scene was set for a stunning oceanside ceremony.

The ceremony on the beach felt like something out of a movie. Surrounded by palm trees, the sea breeze, and golden light, Courtney and Dane said “I do” with their toes in the sand and hearts full. Afterward, we stole a few golden-hour moments for bridal portraits on the beach, capturing their just-married glow with waves crashing behind them.

The shuttle brought everyone back to the hotel, where the celebration continued into the night at their Hilton Naples reception. From heartfelt toasts to dancing under the lights, it was the perfect ending to a day full of love and meaning.

Courtney also chose to add on film photography, which brought such a nostalgic, artistic layer to their wedding gallery. There’s just something about the soft grain of film that complements her romantic style so beautifully.

Courtney & Dane—thank you for trusting me to preserve your timeless memories. Your day was pure joy, and I’m so honored to have been a small part of your love story.
