This wedding at Hamilton’s Pond in McDavid, Florida was filled with deep emotion, sweet moments, and a whole lot of love. The soft lavender color palette set a romantic tone for the day, and even though the weather threatened to be bad, nothing could take away from how meaningful and beautiful it all was.

The day started in the bridal suite, where the bride’s mom helped her get ready—always such a special moment. Once she was in her dress, the bride shared first looks with her bridesmaids, her brother and father, and then her grandfather. Her grandfather is known for always having his camera on hand, and of course, he had to snap a quick picture of her himself before she walked down the aisle. It was one of those little moments that made the day even sweeter.

The bride and groom also shared a private first look before the ceremony, where they read personal vows to each other. That moment was quiet, intimate, and full of emotion—both of them were in tears by the end. It was such a beautiful way to pause and connect before the rest of the day unfolded.

The ceremony took place overlooking the water, and it was incredibly emotional. Just weeks before the wedding, the groom’s father passed away from cancer. A special chair was set up in his honor—a quiet, powerful reminder of his presence. There wasn’t a dry eye in the crowd, but the love and support surrounding the couple were undeniable.

After the ceremony, the party really began. Even though rain rolled in and their firework exit had to be canceled, the newlyweds didn’t let it dampen their spirits. They were too busy dancing, celebrating, and soaking in every moment with their favorite people.

This day was heartfelt, honest, and full of joy. It was such an honor to be part of it.
