Hayley + John Step Into The Limelight | Wyndham Grand Clearwater Beach | Clearwater Beach, FL

From the moment I spoke with this couple, I could sense how much fun they would be. They radiated joy and a laid-back energy that I knew would translate into their wedding day. Held at the stunning Wyndham Grand Clearwater, their wedding was the perfect blend of love, laughter, and relaxation – everything they had envisioned and more.

I still remember them telling me how they met on Bumble in 2021, after years of chatting on Snapchat and texting. Their love story, as they put it, was typical for modern times, but the connection between them is anything but ordinary. John proposed during a trip to Puerto Rico while celebrating the bride’s abuelita’s 102nd birthday. It was at sunset, on a beach, and a moment she'll never forget. “BEST DECISION EVER!” she said with a big smile, recalling how John and her sister had convinced her to head to the beach that evening instead of the bar. Moments like these were woven throughout their wedding day, a reflection of their lighthearted spirits.

Their wedding at Wyndham Grand Clearwater was the perfect balance of rustic elegance, a beachy yet modern vibe. They chose a palette of greenery, beige, and white, creating an atmosphere that felt both soothing and sophisticated – almost like a scene from Twilight but with their own personal flair. It was an absolute dream to photograph.

The reception was a celebration for the ages, with great food, great music, and of course, everyone gathered to celebrate the union of this amazing couple. They wanted their guests to feel relaxed, happy, satisfied, and loved, and I think they accomplished just that.

I was also touched by the DIY projects they incorporated into their day. The bride lovingly created table numbers herself, and she made something special to honor family members who could only be there in spirit. It added such a personal touch to an already heartfelt day.

Being their photographer was such a privilege. The images we captured at the Wyndham Grand Clearwater will forever remind them of the joy and love that surrounded them on this perfect day. If you're looking for wedding photography in Clearwater, Florida, we would love to capture those special moments for you, too.
