We firmly believe that rain IS good luck on your wedding day, and Nicole & Jeff’s unexpectedly dreary wedding day at Villa Festa is living proof. Just minutes before their outdoor ceremony was set to begin, the skies opened up and one of those classic Florida summer storms rolled through. And yet? It turned out to be one of the most emotional weddings we’ve ever had the privilege of documenting.

Nicole & Jeff met in college back in 2018, and from the moment we arrived it was obvious how much this day meant to both of them. Jeff may look like the stereotypical tough bodybuilder, but he wears his heart on his sleeve. Nicole matched that same emotion every step of the day, and together they created a wedding that felt incredibly genuine, filled with tears, laughter, and one unforgettable dance floor.

Some weddings are filled with extravagant details, while others remind you that the heart of the day has always been about two people making a lifelong commitment. Irelis and Dillon’s wedding at the Baughman Center in Gainesville was one of those weddings. It was simple, intentional, deeply rooted in their Christian faith, and centered on the people who mattered most.

Their story began on Upward, a Christian dating app, where they met in mid-December. Just a few months later they officially started dating, and after a little over a year together, Dillon proposed during a trip to Paris with the Eiffel Tower as the backdrop. Their relationship also came with a few fun coincidences along the way, including discovering they had once lived in apartment buildings with the exact same apartment number! Long distance was part of their journey too, with Irelis’ family rooted in Florida while Dillon’s family traveled from London to celebrate alongside them.

For their wedding day, returning to Gainesville felt especially meaningful. Irelis had attended the University of Florida and had always loved the Baughman Center, making it the perfect place to exchange vows.

Sydney & Jim’s wedding day at Lake Louisa Chateau in Clermont, FL was in full bloom, literally! A vibrant sunny day, gorgeous weather, and colorful blooms adorning everywhere your eye looked: springtime romance was in the air.

From the moment we arrived, the property already felt alive with the spring energy. Sydney and her bridesmaids were in matching pajamas laughing around the house, while Jim and the groomsmen were getting ready nearby, keeping things relaxed and low-key. Kelly (photo) was moving between both sides of the property capturing all those anticipatory moments, while Rob (video) was focused on those small moments, laughter and gestures that make wedding films feel like reliving the day.

Weddings are ultimately about you, your soon-to-be spouse, and your closest loved ones, and there’s a special magic about weddings that really emphasize all three beautifully. Lauren & Brett’s beachfront micro wedding at Harbour House had that exact feeling from the moment we arrived.

The happy couple hosted around 50 guests for their wedding near Melbourne, Florida, choosing Harbour House because it was close to their beach property and gave them enough room to celebrate without needing to host everything themselves.

Amber & Phillip’s wedding day was riotous fun, a perfect reflection of their relationship as best friends and their chaotic yet laid-back personalities. The couple met on Tinder but quickly realized they had mutual friends and had probably crossed paths before. From their first date, they basically never separated, and 4.5 years later, it was obvious to everyone there that they still thrive off each other’s energy.

Set on a friend’s property in Arcadia, in rural Florida about 2hrs drive south of Orlando and a bit near Sarasota/Fort Myers area, this wedding leaned fully into the rustic, outdoor vibe. It was about having the space to bring their people together and celebrate without limitations. With around 150 guests, a tented reception, and wide-open land, it gave everyone room to spread out, connect, and settle into the day.
