Kelli has been one of those clients who quickly turned into a friend. For the past few years, I’ve had the joy of photographing her family during their visits to 30A—and when she reached out to tell me she was planning a wedding on the beach in Destin, I was beyond honored to be part of it.

The day was absolutely magical. As the sun dipped low over the emerald coast, Kelli’s son proudly walked her down the aisle—a moment that brought more than a few tears to everyone watching. But nothing compared to the emotion on her groom’s face as he saw her for the first time. His eyes welled up with happy tears, and you could feel just how deep their love runs.

Friends and family from all over traveled to witness their vows, and the entire day was filled with so much joy, laughter, and kindness. Every guest was so warm and fun to work with, making the celebration feel more like one big, love-filled beach party.

The colors of the sky matched the emotion of the day—soft, glowing, unforgettable. And Kelli? She looked radiant in every single frame.

Kelli, thank you for trusting me with your most important moments. From family sessions to your wedding day—it’s been such a gift to capture your love story.
