Were there any special gifts shared between the bride and groom at their 5eleven Palafox wedding?
“Karoline and Zach incorporated so many thoughtful, personal details into their wedding day, but my absolute favorite was Zach’s gift to his bride. While they were apart (cross country!!) in the month leading up to their wedding date, Zach wrote a letter to Karoline every single day. On the morning of their wedding, his mom delivered the bundle of letters to Karoline after she had finished getting ready. Karoline’s reaction to the gift was such an incredible moment to witness!!”
How did the parent’s react upon seeing their son/daughter?
“Karoline chose to do a first look with her father and his reaction was so incredibly sweet, and emotional. Witnessing such depth of emotion on wedding days is my favorite, ESPECIALLY from parents of the couple!”
What made the wedding venue special?
“I have photographed many, MANY Old Christ Church weddings over the years as a wedding photographer in Pensacola, but this was the very first where the ceremony took place outside in front of the church! It was STUNNING and I am officially on board with more of our couples making this choice!”
