Seaside I Do’s: A Sunset Elopement

Sometimes, the most beautiful wedding days are the quietest ones. No crowds, no timelines — just love, sunshine, and the sound of waves meeting the shore.

This Sarasota elopement was everything a romantic heart could hope for. Set along the Gulf Coast (Sarasota, FL) during golden hour, the couple exchanged vows as the sun dipped low over the horizon. It was peaceful, heartfelt, and completely focused on what matters most: each other.

Some lov e storie s are sweet. Some are ci nema tic. And some, like Marissa+ Christian, feel like they were pulled straight from a postcard in Tuscany.

Coastal Romance

There’s something undeniably magical about the ocean—the way the waves kiss the shore, the breeze dances through your hair, and the golden hour light wraps everything in warmth. That same magic came to life during Erin+ Dominik’s engagement session, captured against the serene backdrop of the coast.

From the very first frame, their connection was effortless. Barefoot and glowing, Erin+ Dominik embraced every moment—laughing, twirling, and holding each other close as the sun dipped lower over the dunes and waves. Their love felt as natural and grounded as the sand beneath their feet.

Love on a Boat

He asked her to marry him while on a boat ride, it only seems appropriate to do their engagement session on a boat ride as well. We had so much fun hoping around the boat on the St.John’s River in Jacksonville, FL.

I absolutely love when people reach out and want to customize their engagement session to help express ‘the couple’. It allows my creativity to flow while allowing the couple to be comfortable in the setting.

I can’t wait for these two to say I do in 2025. <3

Surrounded by lush greenery and fragrant blooms, they exchange vows under a rustic arch adorned with beautiful flowers and say “I do”

As day turns to dusk, the enchanting glow of sunset paints the sky in hues of pink and gold, casting a romantic spell over the ranch. The newlyweds steal away for a private moment, capturing the magic of their love against the backdrop of the sprawling countryside.

As the night wears on, the dance floor comes alive with laughter and joy, as guests twirl and sway to the rhythm of the music.

At White Wood Ranch, every moment is infused with romance and charm, creating memories that will last a lifetime.

I was lucky enough to meet these two while visiting Lopesan Costa Bavaro Resort to do a wedding. All the stars were aligning….Chris saw my second shooter for the wedding and approached asking to capture his proposal that was about to happen…next thing you know we are doing engagement photos to wrap up their vacation. I can’t wait to see these two say I do!

Island Wedding Vibes

Stepping into paradise, where the sun-kissed shores meet the horizon, I found myself amidst the magic of Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. But this day wasn't just another day in paradise; it was a day of love, celebration, and laughs. As a wedding photographer, I had the privilege of capturing the essence of this special occasion, where two souls united amidst the breathtaking backdrop of Punta Cana.

Taylor + Jacob’s Wedding Day

I have known Taylor + Jacob for quite some time now, as I was lucky enough to photograph two of their other friend’s weddings. Finally the day came for these two to say “I do” in the beautiful Winter Park, FL. With Jacob’s love for golf, it was only fitting to have it on a golf course and to get some cute photos on a golf cart. Thanks for stopping by! Xoxo, Mak
