What an amazing Day! I really enjoyed working with this couple. They came all the way from St. Louise, MO to have their dream wedding in Panama City Beach at the Origin at Seahaven.

They are world travelers to say the least... They plan to take a month long honey moon later this year! (Little do they know in the fine print it stated I will be in their luggage...)
Planning Bethel and Az's wedding was a pleasure.... I am so happy that we were able to be part of such a special day for such an in love couple. As the best man David said.... "You Better Start on that family soon" Best Of Wishes to the M;M's

Abbey & Jeff

This was a sweet couple. Abbey wanted a very simple yet elegant wedding.


This day was all about them and being in love. Abbey glowed on her wedding day she was stunning!!! They symbolized their love by pouring containers of sand together to show they are now inseparable.The bridal party was dressed to impress, the children where adorable and perfect for the part.









The reception was outside next to a beach home they rented, simple and elegant colors of pick and chocolate brown.

Abbey surprised Jeff with a cake of his dreams GOLF!!! Every mans dream...

Jennifer & Cory

What an amazing couple from Georgia!! Jennifer a nurse and Cory a fireman! Truly in love.
I met with Jennifer early in the planning stages.

When she saw The Origin at Seahaven she new this was the place. The ceremony took place on the beach with the Reception on the 15th floor sundeck. A breath taking view!

Jennifer and Cory choose to make a donation in honor of their guests to their favorite charity instead of traditional favors.

Destin Destination Weddings

Having a Destin, Fl destination wedding. What do you pay for? What do you make your guests pay for? Well, this will hlep with some of those questions of who pays for what.

What the bride and groom (and/or their parents) are expected to pay for:

The wedding reception (whether it's a five-course meal or a beer-and-burgers bash)
A rehearsal dinner / welcome party
A morning-after brunch (friend or family member may volunteer to host this for you as a gift)

Wouldn't be a bad idea if budget allows to pay for:
Selected activities (deep sea fishing, golf, boat tour or dolphin cruise)
Transportation for guests to and from the ceremony/reception site, if they didn't drive
Transportation for your guests at the airport when they arrive, if they are flying


Bridesmaid and Groomsmen accomidations. Traditionaly, the bride and her family should cover accomidations for the bridesmaids; the groom or his family should do the same for the groomsmen. If budget doesn't allow,ask them not to give you a gift.

Your Guests should pay for:
There way to the wedding
Their accomidations
All food and drink not part of the wedding festivities
Any non-wedding activities that choose to participate in

Attendants should expect to pay for:
Travel to and from the destination
Formalwear and accessories
Hair and makeup or spa appointments
Food and drinks that aren't part of a wedding event

Dana + Brett
This was one of those couples I knew right away I would love! Dana & Brett came to Destin Florida to have their wedding all the way from Tennessee. This southern couple was amazing to work with.
  Dana and I had a very similar style & taste
