Some weddings feel extra special, not just because of the beautiful details but because of the people. Kate and Cole’s Pensacola Beach wedding in Florida was one of those days—filled with love and heartfelt moments that left me teary-eyed more than once.
I’ve had the absolute pleasure of knowing Kate and her family for some time now. Her mom and I have worked together before, and I was honored to be asked to capture this incredibly special day for her daughter, Kate. They’ve become dear friends, and it made celebrating Kate and Cole even more meaningful. Kate is one of the most tender, loving souls. She gave the most thoughtful gifts, especially to her father and grandfather. Being around Kate and her family is always such a joy, and it was such an honor to travel to a new location and capture this beautiful wedding day.
Classic and Elegant Wedding Look
Kate was a breathtaking bride! Her wedding gown featured a gorgeous bow detail in the back—a touch of modern elegance that made her dress truly special. Her bouquet of crisp white flowers mixed with lush greenery was one of my favorites, a timeless and classic choice that paired beautifully with the bridesmaids’ similar arrangements.
Speaking of the bridesmaids, their satin, dark green dresses in varying styles were beyond elegant. This deep, rich color was the perfect complement to the fresh florals and the overall aesthetic of the day. Also, the children in the wedding party were precious! I loved the flower girls’ flower crowns.
The Wedding Ceremony
The wedding ceremony took place in a stunning chapel. One of the most touching moments of the day was watching Cole’s face overcome with emotion as Kate walked down the aisle. It was pure, heartfelt love, and honestly, I don’t think there was a dry eye in the room-mine included. Cole and his dad, who are very close, handcrafted the cross at the altar, which made this ceremony even more meaningful.
After saying “I do,” I stole Kate and Cole away for their newlywed portraits. The sunshine, gorgeous water views, and the perfect weather made for some of the dreamiest photos. These moments, just the two of them soaking in their first moments as husband and wife, were some of my favorites from the day.
The celebration continued at Casino Beach Bar, where guests enjoyed an incredible evening of dancing and laughter. The night ended with a fun send-off as guests waved white pom-poms to cheer on the newlyweds as they exited.
This Pensacola Beach wedding was a dream from start to finish—not just because of the stunning details, but because of the love and joy that surrounded them. Being able to capture a wedding so full of meaning for a family I adore was an absolute honor.
Kate and Cole, your day was nothing short of magical. I wish you both a lifetime of love and happiness. Congratulations!
