This ENCHANTED Florida wedding took place at one of my favorite venues in South West, Florida. You can find Shangri-La Springs tucked away in downtown Bonita Springs. It is filled with a tropical lush landscape and Florida history. It was the perfect location to celebrate Kaitlyn and Will’s love story! 

Photographing Kaitlyn and Will’s wedding day was an absolute joy from start to finish! Their story began in college when Will saw a photo of Kaitlyn and was determined to find out who she was. After finding his Cinderella, it didn’t take long to see why they were perfect for each other! When Kaitlyn and Will first reached out to me, we hopped on a video call to get acquainted. We dived right into wedding planning!

From morning into the evening, I can honestly say my favorite part of the day to capture was their first touch. As guests were arriving, right before the ceremony, Kaitlyn & Will let time slow down and took a moment for each other. The world stood still as they soaked in what will soon be the next chapter of their lives. 

Shangri La Springs, with its enchanting gardens and sprawling landscapes, set the stage for their ceremony. The pops of color in the flowers matched perfectly with the bridesmaids’ dresses, while Will and his groomsmen rocked tan, tailored suits. The sight of Kaitlyn walking down the aisle, her eyes meeting Will’s, brought tears to nearly everyone’s eyes, including mine! Their ceremony took place under a beautiful gazebo, framed by the backdrop of palm trees. Both Kaitlyn and Will exchanged heartfelt vows that reflected their genuine and true love for each other. As golden hour arrived, the newlyweds strolled hand in hand through Shangri La’s scenic pathways, allowing me to capture the pure joy and love that radiated from them!

The night ended with a dance floor alive with laughter, dance moves, and the undeniable spark between Kaitlyn and Will that started it all. Congratulations to you both! I can’t wait to see what the future holds for you both. It was an honor and a privilege to be a part of your enchanted wedding day and to capture these precious moments that you’ll cherish forever. Your story is a beautiful reminder of how love can blossom in the most unexpected places, and I know that your life together will be filled with just as much joy and love as your wedding day was.
