Amy + Alan | Dreamy Nautical Wedding in Jupiter, FL.

A Dreamy Nautical Wedding at Out of the Blue in Jupiter, Florida

On Saturday, March 25th, 2017, Andrew and I had the pleasure of documenting Amy and Alan's dreamy nautical wedding at Out of the Blue Waterfront in Jupiter, Florida. Amy and Alan were one of the most joyful and fun couples we have ever worked with! Their love for life and each other is genuine and warm. Every moment of their day was filled with contagious laughter, tears of joy and warm smiles.

When Amy contacted us last Summer to capture their Palm Beach engagement photos I loved that they knew exactly the locations they wanted. Bethesda by the Sea and the Palm Beach Lake Trail. They chose these locations because they wanted their engagement photos to be captured in places that are special to them. What I didn't expect was how they would incorporate one of their favorite activities--riding bikes along the Palm Beach Lake Trail. But this wasn't just any bike ride. It ended in the most epic way--with a quick dive in the in the inlet! Their shoot was the most adventurous and fun engagement shoot ever.

Their wedding day was no different. Although they didn't have bikes or end the night by jumping in the inlet, their day was filled with so much more than I was expecting. Every single moment and detail from their day told a little part of their story in the perfect way. The way Amy radiated with complete peace and joy throughout the whole day. The way their guests wholeheartedly shared in their excitement. The way their pup, Bella, handled the responsibility of ring bearer so well. And the way Alan bawled as he saw Amy walking down the isle.

Their wedding day was truly one for the books!

Special Thanks:

Amy and Alan, thank you so much for trusting us to document your amazing wedding day and for making us feel so welcomed! What a pleasure and honor it was to be a part of such a special day! We are so excited for you both and wish you all the best as you step into this new season of life!

Amy's sparkly silver bow shoes by Kate Spade were to cute for words. So many amazing floral designs by the talented Port + Palm Co.!I LOVED that each bouquet was unique. Amy's dress by Stella York was incredible!  Amy, you are SO STUNNING!!  Bella did such a great job during portraits so she got a treat but got really annoyed looking when we put it on her nose and told her to wait... lol.  The many faces of Bella, the ring bearer:Out of the Blue Waterfront in Jupiter, Florida was the perfect venue for this nautical wedding! SO much excitement!  Alan's expressions when he first saw his bride were priceless. Bridal Party portraits! My favorite time of the wedding day! Bride and groom portraits! The Loggerhead Club and Marina was the perfect place for this nautical wedding! I was pretty obsessed with Amy's bouquet (and all the flowers for that matter) by the talented Port + Palm Co.!That dreamy light, all those pastel boats and a so-in-love couple, made my heart so happy!!  Their wedding portraits were so dreamy!  Love these in black and white!

A Dreamy Palm Beach Wedding Inspiration Shoot

On a sunny South Florida afternoon, a team of wedding creatives merged their talents to create a dreamy Palm Beach wedding inspiration shoot. Creamy pastels, coastal Palm Beach scenes and a head-over-heels-in-love couple effortlessly filled each frame. The epitome of elegant and nautical, this styled shoot was filled to the brim with whimsical scenes and joyful spirits. Classical touches of the 1950’s, fitting perfectly with the Annual Palm Beach Regatta providing sailboats and dreamy shores for a breezy backdrop. The bride adorns a timeless lace gown with an elusion neckline and delicate long sleeves, all of which were custom-designed. Her bouquet and flower crown were composed of soft pastels -- giving a light, airy hint of Spring. Simple diamond jewelry paired gracefully with a bold yet tasteful crimson lip color. Classic navy pants, a sharp white shirt, and a light blue striped tie coupled nicely with the tan suspenders worn by the groom.

Planning and capturing this wedding inspiration shoot was a dream to create. This was my first styled shoot ever and I also planned the shoot in THREE days! When I heard about the 2nd Annual Palm Beach Regatta that was happening three days later, I had a thought. I LOVE sailboats and anything nautical so I thought it would make an incredible backdrop for a styled shoot! I thought of the location almost immediately!  I knew the West Palm Beach side would be packed because of the Regatta but I figured that on the Palm Beach island the view would be great and there wouldn't be a crowd. I thought the Lake Trails next to the Henry Morrison Flagler Museum would be perfect! The spot was amazing, even though there weren't as many sailboats as I had hoped the view was still incredible!

When it came time to find models, I immediately thought of a friend and fellow photographer, Augusta and her husband Travis. Augusta contacted me about a year ago when she moved back to South Florida after living in Alaska with her husband! We met up for coffee, chatted about life & photography and have been friends ever since! When I asked Augusta, she quickly asked Travis and within a few hours they said yes! I was so excited!

Since this was my first styled shoot, I knew I wanted to keep it simple yet I wanted a classic 1950s American elegance. I contacted some of my favorite wedding vendors and friends!   Within ONE day I have all the vendors I needed! I was shocked with how quickly they all committed! I sent them an inspiration board but told them to have fun with it and create something they loved. Oh boy, did they deliver! I am SO thankful for them all!

On Thursday, June 2nd, 2016 this dreamy Palm Beach wedding inspiration shoot was featured on Southeastern Bride! It was such an honor to be featured! This was my first styled wedding shoot and my first exclusive publication feature! To view the full feature on Southeastern Bride click here!

Then I asked Augusta, she quickly asked Travis and they were fully committed within a few hours! So thankful for them!! One of my favorite spots on the whole island is Major Alley! Love this little house! When we were shooting the owner of the home came out and started chatting with us! We initially just wanted to get a few shots on the sidewalk with the house in the background, but when the owner came out she started to tell us about the history of the property (I love a good story about the history of something) she invited us to take as many photos as we would like! She told us that her father built the house, in the early 1900s and passed it along to her after his passing. During the story telling, she even invited some of the team into her home for a tour! Seriously, the sweetest women ever! My favorite shot!!
