Amelia Island Beach Wedding at the Ritz Carlton

The happy couple had their wedding ceremony on the beach, and their reception in the Ritz Carlton ballroom. Additionally, the couple and their guests all stayed at the hotel for the weekend. This is very convenient, especially for guests who come from out of town. Being able to walk from the ceremony to the reception area is trouble-free.

Personalized Details

Each wedding is unique to the couple. Often times, couples will add sentimental trinkets to their wedding. Lauran and Whitney did this by adding their grandmother’s brooches to their bridal bouquets. This sweet addition to their wedding made the day a tad more special. Also, it is a great way to remember family members that couldn’t be at the wedding.

First Look!

The Ritz Carlton in Amelia Island has a long natural lit hallway that was the PERFECT location for this first look. Lauran walked down the long hallway to her beautiful bride so they could see one another in their dresses for the first time.

Mrs & Mrs Balloons

This beautiful same-sex couple purchased two “Mrs” balloons to take pictures with. We love this creative and cute idea! Props always look great in photographs.

Intimate Wedding Ceremony

This pandemic has been difficult for everyone. Many of our customers have had to completely change their wedding. The original efficient for this couple was unable to make it to the wedding, and made an audio recording that was played during the ceremony. In the two pictures above the brides are getting emotional over the surprise recording.

This Amelia Island Beach Wedding at the Ritz Carlton was beautiful. Beach weddings are really common here in Florida, but we never get tired of photographing them. Click here to see some cool beach engagement pictures.

Fashion can be Practical

This adorable custom leather jacket actually saved Whitney from freezing. You can’t tell in these pictures, but it was freezing at Amelia Island this February day.

Picture of all the Guests

After their wedding ceremony was over we gathered all the guests together for a big group shot. It’s great getting pictures with everyone especially when most family members are from out of town. Additionally, all the guests were given leis to wear because Whitney went to university in Hawaii (another one of the personalized touches).

Time to Party

We are here for their energy! Everyone was on the dance floor having the time of their lives. The guests were even using the decorations as make-shift microphones! We love capturing these candid moments during every wedding reception.
