Beach Ceremony + Airbnb Reception

September 20, 2025
Mackenzie and Will said their vows in private on the beach of Miramar. With a backdrop of the sea, it was a stunning location to begin their lives together.
Mackenzie greeted me with tears and a glowing appreciation of everyone who surrounded her - including me who she welcomed with open arms.
I could feel the love in the room immediately, not just from the bride and groom, but from everyone present. This energy carried through until the final moments of the night.
Will and Mackenzie hosted their ceremony on Miramar Beach, FL and followed it with an intimate candlelit reception at an airbnb nearby. The table setting was stunning. The glow of the candles on the faces of their 30 closest family and friends created the perfect ambience for the most intimate, sweet evening.
The words shared by their friends represented the depth of love everyone held in this group. Tears were shed, laughter was easy, and hugs were long and full.
Where Mackenzie is full of love and radiant, Will was steady, present, and grounded. They were comfortable letting the love in the room speak for itself. Watching them together it was easy to see the love they share with one another, sticking by each other’s side the whole day.
Most notably was the relationship between Mackenzie and her grandmother. If they were near each other, tears were falling. It takes a certain level to take up space near one another and be in absolute comfort together. To stare at each other and cry, feeling everything all at once. That love takes a lifetime to build.
Intimate weddings are a treasure. When you only allow thirty people to witness your love story, every person has played a significant role in your life. Every toast represents decades of stories. Every hug lingers. This is what draws me to weddings, each one has a completely different energy, but they all remind us what this day and this life are truly about: love.
