A Southern Wedding That Was Anything But Ordinary

From Disney magic to shotgun poses, Kaylee and Jackson’s wedding at Hamilton’s Pond was a one-of-a-kind celebration that blended elegance, personality, and just the right amount of wild Florida charm.

As a wedding photographer and videographer serving Pensacola, Destin, and surrounding areas, we live for couples like this—bold, authentic, and madly in love.

Bridal Prep & Groomsmen Guns: Welcome to Florida, Y’all

The morning kicked off in the bridal house at Hamilton’s Pond with soft natural light and big emotions. Kaylee, surrounded by her bridesmaids and her mom Stacey, was an absolute vision of joy and poise.

Meanwhile, the guys were on a mission of their own. Dressed to impress—and packing heat—they posed for some of the most uniquely Floridian groom portraits we’ve ever taken. Shotguns. Rifles. Tactical vests. A groom squad with real grit and real laughs.

A Ceremony at Golden Hour: Love by the Pond

At 5pm, the ceremony began under a blazing Florida sky. Set in front of a wooden cross overlooking the peaceful pond, this setting had all the makings of a cinematic southern love story.

Kaylee walked down the aisle to “Goodness of God”, escorted by her father, tears in everyone’s eyes. Their vows were simple, sacred, and genuine—with hidden Mickeys sprinkled around the venue as a nod to their Disney World proposal.

Sunset Session Goals: Just the Two of Them

After the ceremony, we stole Kaylee and Jackson away for a quiet golden hour portrait session.

And let me tell you—this sunset showed off. With hues of coral, gold, and rose bleeding across the sky, we captured magic. Their connection? Effortless. Their laughter? Contagious.

Reception Highlights: Karaoke, Cake, and Tears

The party kicked off with karaoke, killer food from Full of Grace catering, and heartfelt dances—especially the mother-daughter moment that left the whole crowd misty-eyed.

And the bouquet toss? Didn’t happen.

Instead, Kaylee walked up to her mom and handed her the bouquet. Quietly. Emotionally. As a thank-you. As a tribute. It was the kind of moment we live to capture.

The garter removal? Also untraditional. They chose to keep that private—just for the two of them. And honestly? We respect the hell out of it.
