Jacinda and Garret had a special day before their wedding, filled with joy and family. They chose to have an intimate destination wedding in Fort Lauderdale, and their families traveled all the way from Tennessee to be with them. Staying at the Diplomat Hotel, they decided to capture some beautiful moments with their loved ones before the big day. The vibes were incredible, and we had so much fun taking photos by the beach. It was a perfect day that made me even more excited to document their wedding the next day!

Jacinda and Garrett’s wedding day was a beautiful, intimate celebration filled with love and stunning moments. The day began at the Diplomat Hotel in Fort Lauderdale, where I captured the delicate details of Jacinda’s bridal ensemble and some candid shots of her getting ready. As Jacinda prepared with her mom, she was surprised with a beautiful necklace, which added a special touch to the day.

Under a sunny sky with a gentle breeze, I took some breathtaking portraits of Jacinda before the first look with Garrett. First look moments are always a favorite of mine, as they allow for capturing genuine, emotional portraits before the ceremony. We then traveled to Miami, where a gorgeous yacht awaited, beautifully decorated for the ceremony and reception.

Jacinda and Garrett’s families were invited aboard the yacht for their own special first look with the bride and groom. While their families gathered on the top deck, Jacinda and Garrett shared a private moment on the lower deck, where I took some stunning portraits as the yacht began to sail.

The ceremony took place as the yacht made its way to the docking destination for the reception dinner. It was an incredibly romantic and intimate moment, with an ambiance that was truly magical. After the ceremony, we captured family photos and more portraits of the happy couple. These images are ones I will always cherish, as they perfectly reflect the genuine love Jacinda and Garrett share.

The evening continued with a delicious dinner prepared by Chef Elena, with the Miami skyline as a backdrop and the gentle waves lapping against the yacht, the scene was unforgettable. The night concluded with a cake cutting, a champagne tower, and plenty of dancing on the top deck as we sailed back to where we started. Jacinda and Garrett’s intimate wedding was truly a day to remember.
