I met Hannah and Adam on a Norwegian Cruise to the Bahamas in 2019. I was thrilled when they asked me to join them in Florida and capture their wedding day this February!

Their wedding took place at the Sandpearl Resort in Clearwater, Florida. We began the morning with the girls sipping champagne and getting ready in an upper hotel room overlooking the ocean while the guys relaxed poolside. I ADORED all of Hannah and Adam’s friends in their bridal party, they are all so kind, laid back, and so funny. I had a great time getting to know all of them!

Their first look was the sweetest. I love how Adam looks at Hannah like she is the best thing that has ever happened to him. They make the cutest couple! They shared their vows together in an intimate moment between just the two of them and then they said their “I do’s” down on the beach, amongst their family and friends.

These people know how to party. The celebration went well into the night and was filled with drinks, dancing, sunset smooching, booty shaking, limbo, jokes, cigars, laughter, and love. It was a night to remember.

Hannah and Adam, you guys are so loved. I loved meeting all of your friends and family and seeing just how special you two are to everyone around you. It’s no wonder we met on that cruise 2 years ago, you both are so outgoing, adventurous, kind, compassionate, and loving, and I’m fortunate to call you friends. Here’s to you Mr. and Mrs. DeSantis!

Nolan & Ricki - Aurora, OR

There are certain aspects of every wedding that standout—and Nolan and Ricki’s wedding day was a perfect reflection of how they are truly loved. Surrounded by their favorite people, I was fortunate to witness the joy of everyone as these two finally made their love story official. What began with squeals of excitement from Ricki’s bridesmaids as she put on her wedding dress; eventually ended with dripping sweat, exuberant faces, and dancing fools by the end of the night. This day was one for the ages!

I’m not going to lie, the vibes of this day were some I imagine for my own wedding—PNW ambience, evergreens and vineyards, mountains bordering the horizon, and an epic charcuterie board and photo bus during cocktail hour. Not to mention the tear jerking toasts at sunset to kickoff the reception. All of the stories and memories shared on this day made my heart melt. Nolan and Ricki, you truly are a love story written in the stars, and I loved hearing about the countless memories that your loved ones shared with both of you. I admire how much you love others. For example, both of you made sure everyone else was comfortable and having fun on YOUR wedding day. You guys are remarkable individuals that are unstoppable as a team. I look forward to what the future holds for you two. Thank you for including me in this special chapter of your love story.
