The Freemans | 7.17.21

This magnificent wedding was at The Island Resort in Fort Walton Beach, FL.

Sidney and Cale had a traditional beach themed wedding, with palm leaves and ivory roses, and a color theme of ivory, black, gold, and grey.

This July wedding was a beach escape from the bride and grooms residential state, Oklahoma! Their destination wedding included my wedding package with an engagement session, so here are some sneak peaks of our time together before they said I do!

Sidney has the cutest style and chose the sweetest outfit for their session!

This was one of my favorite shots I got of them at their (future) venue!

I refer to these pictures often to show CMC couple’s how planning out your day and letting me tag along can result in the best pictures that are true to who you are as a couple rather than just posing in front of a camera.

This wedding was truly transcending. Sidney and Cale’s friends flew in from all over to shower them with love on their special day. The party was so much fun! The couple planned to do a sparkler exit but they were having so much fun at their reception that they didn’t want to stop and go all the way downstairs so they just decided not to do an exit!

Photographer tip: just because “exits” are trendy, doesn’t make it a must! Make your wedding day unique to you, and feel free to make changes the day of! It’s your day, not the industry’s.
