Nicole + Andy | The Backyard of Love | Hibiscus Inn, Grayton Beach, FL

Nicole and Andy were high school sweethearts. They lost touch, experienced a little bit of this adulting thing, and somehow found their way back together. Life gave them a new appreciation for their relationship, each other, and family. Nicole and Andy got married in their ‘happy place’, a beautiful beach on the Gulf Coast of Florida. This was a destination wedding for the two and their little family, and I was lucky enough to document their wedding story. Listening to everyone talk about Nicole and Andy and their love story made me cry (happy tears) because I am Jessi and I cry often (it is true) and also because you could hear the sincerity in the voice of everyone you talked to. These two (and their little family) are so loved and adored!

This wedding was hippy-chic (that’s a real thing, right?). It was a beautiful, honest reflection of the two of them. Nicole (with the help of Ceremony Design Company) had such a clear vision for the day and it was executed to perfection, rain and all. Everything meant something to them. Every detail was important and sentimental and a perfect reflection of Nicole and Andy.

Chloe + Doug | Bragg-Mitchell Mansion Wedding | Mobile, AL

Sometimes your plan B is better than you ever dreamed your plan A to be. This wedding proved to be a testament to that. It rained and then it rained some more…and then, you guessed it, more rain. The plans for Chloe and Doug’s day were slowly evolving into a plan B no matter how much pleading we did with the sky and the weather app on our phones. You know what though? It all worked out beautifully. Every detail, every moment, the location, every single rain drop was absolutely perfect just the way it was. The wedding and reception were intimate and love filled with touches of vintage detail and gold that Chloe had put so much thought in to. We had just enough of a window to have a gorgeous ceremony on the side lawn just as Chloe and Doug had hoped for. I feel so lucky to have been a part of their day!

Dakota + Greg | A Valentine’s Day Elopement | Pensacola Beach, FL

On Valentine’s Day, I got to spend some time with Dakota and Greg…and be a part of their very special day! They eloped here in Pensacola just the way they wanted to–the two of them, myself and their officiant, and the Florida sunshine. Dakota and Greg travelled here for their small ceremony and we spent the day on a little Pensacola beach adventure. Everything was beautiful! Now that they have told their families and friends, I am so excited to share some from their day! Congratulations, Dakota and Greg!

Love + Citrus | Tony + Alisha | Pensacola Beach, FL

Earlier in the year, Alisha and Tony celebrated their 10 year wedding anniversary. (WOOHOO!) I wanted to do something special for them, so I invited them to be the ‘models’ for this small styled session. They had no idea what they were in for when they said yes, but I was so glad they trusted me enough to just go for it! Love and Citrus was conceptualized because we wanted to bring the styled shoot home to what we know. The Gulf Coast always makes me think of sunshine and citrus, beaches, and bright colors. There was actually no sunshine on the day of the shoot, but it made for some of the dramatic shots on the beach. The genuine surprise from the couple and the amount of love the oozed from the two of them made up for any lack of sun we may of had We mashed up what you’d expect with the things you wouldn’t and it truly was perfect.

Wild Hearts | KerriAnne + Jeffrey | Navarre, FL

Love makes the wildest spirit tame, and the tamest spirit wild. –Alexis Delp

A post-wedding love session that is a perfect reflection of this twosome; playful, adventurous, whimsical, wild, and so in love. What I love most about this entire session though, is that it is real. This is truly KerriAnne and Jeffrey. They are crazy about one another, a little offbeat, and seriously adorable people.

And it is on a farm.

With chickens, goats, and horses.

And there is this AMAZING twig crown.

And a private beach.

And a vintage gown.

I’m seriously smitten.
