Hayleigh and Nick’s wedding day was the perfect blend of charm, elegance, and vibrant summer hues. Set against the picturesque backdrop of Pensacola, Florida, their wedding on June 1, 2024, was nothing short of magical—despite the forecast predicting storms. Thankfully, the rain held off, and what was supposed to be a day of downpours became a celebration filled with love, light, and only a few sprinkles.

While the rain stayed at bay, the wind was a force to be reckoned with! So much so, that we had to take Hayleigh’s bridal portraits indoors. Fortunately, the reception space at the Pensacola Country Club provided a stunning backdrop for these moments. With its gorgeous stone fireplace adorned with floral installations in shades of coral, peach, and pink, the setting was just as lovely as the outdoor scenes we had envisioned.


Despite the weather challenges, Hayleigh and Nick handled the day with grace and positivity—always smiling and embracing each moment.

One of the most special moments of the day was Hayleigh and Nick’s first look. In a quiet, tucked-away spot on the grounds of the country club, they shared an emotional, private moment before the festivities began.


We were also able to sneak out to the golf course after the first look to take some beautiful portraits of the couple and the bridal party. The wind added an unexpected element to these photos, creating dynamic and natural shots as Hayleigh’s veil and dress caught the breeze.

The couple exchanged vows at the stunning Old Christ Church, a historic chapel located in downtown Pensacola. With its original woodwork and breathtaking stained-glass windows, the church was the perfect setting for an intimate, heartfelt ceremony. The beautiful wood tones and vintage architecture of the space made every moment feel even more timeless.

Back at the Pensacola Country Club, the reception was intimate and elegant, filled with personal touches and vibrant floral designs in their chosen palette of coral, peach, and pink. The stunning décor, combined with the warmth and laughter of their loved ones, created an atmosphere of joy and celebration.


The toasts were a particularly touching part of the evening, with family and friends sharing heartfelt stories and well-wishes for the newlyweds. Hayleigh and Nick’s love for each other and their gratitude for those around them were evident throughout the night, making it a truly unforgettable celebration.


Despite the wind and potential storms, Hayleigh and Nick’s wedding day was nothing short of beautiful. From the historic charm of Old Christ Church to the classy reception at Pensacola Country Club, every moment was filled with love, joy, and a touch of summer magic. It was an honor to capture these memories for such a kind and photogenic couple.
