The Coats Destin Beach wedding photos

I was honored to photograph Jay and Cheslie’s beautiful love story and wedding. From high school sweethearts to tying the knot on the white sandy beaches of Destin, Florida, their day was truly special — made even more meaningful in a time of uncertainty.

As their Navarre Florida wedding photographer, I had the incredible privilege of capturing their love, joy, and all the heartfelt moments shared with their closest family and friends. The Destin beach setting provided the perfect backdrop, with turquoise waters and soft white sand adding a romantic, timeless touch to their celebration.

Given their shared love of travel, a Destin destination wedding was the perfect choice. Their adventurous spirit was reflected throughout the day, from the intimate ceremony to the fun-filled reception.

A special part of Jay and Cheslie’s lives — their two German Shepherds, Nala and Simba — also made their story even more meaningful. These beloved companions add an extra layer of joy and personality to the couple’s life, making the wedding portraits even more memorable.

As their wedding photographer, I was able to capture every emotion, from tender vows to joyful celebrations on the beach. These images will serve as cherished memories, preserving Jay and Cheslie’s love story for years to come. Their wedding is a wonderful example of why I love photographing Navarre Florida weddings, Destin beach weddings, and Emerald Coast celebrations — every couple’s story deserves to be captured beautifully.

I am wishing Jay and Cheslie a lifetime of happiness, love, and memorable moments and lots of fun adventures together. May their love continue to grow and flourish as they journey through life hand in hand.
