Kylee + Mike | Casa Ybel Wedding | Sanibel Island, Florida

Kylee and Mike’s wedding honestly seems like a dream, now. They tied the knot in mid-February down in Sanibel Island and danced the night away under starry string lights, warm seas breezes and so much love from friends and family.

I’ve known Kylee since kindergarten and remember how she used to talk about her wedding when we were kids. She and her dad already had a song picked out for their father/daughter dance all those years ago and to see it come to fruition was so beautiful and I don’t think their was a dry eye in the tent.

Their day was perfectly planned ( by Kylee, of course) and had so many personal touches that made it one to remember. Maybe it was a combination of the sunshine and warmth in the middle of a long winter and the light at the end of the tunnel of an extremely hard 2 years, but this was a wedding where every guest was dancing and celebrating all night long.

Needless to say, they killed their golden-hour portraits and have beautiful images to share for a lifetime. I know I say this all the time, but photographing friends just makes my job extra special and meaningful.

If you’re planning a destination wedding - might I suggest someplace warm during the winter? And oh, yeah, book me so I can come with ya ;)
