Tucked away along the quiet waters of Fort Myers lies a true hidden gem—Grace River Island Resort. For Jack and Kristin, it was the perfect island escape to host the celebration of their dreams. Surrounded by soft blues, whites, and a breezy Florida sky, their wedding day was as heartfelt as it was breathtaking.
Jack and Kristin are adventurous souls, always chasing new memories and meaningful places. From trips to Aruba to moments spent honoring loved ones past and present, their wedding was infused with intention. And when you combine that spirit with a gorgeous private island, a stellar vendor team, and a seamless plan—you get a day that’s pure magic.
A Ceremony Framed by Nature’s Beauty
The ceremony space at Grace River Island Resort felt like stepping into a coastal dream. Rows of white chairs faced a flower-draped arch set against the glistening Caloosahatchee River. With swaying palms overhead and a soft blue drape dancing in the breeze, the setup struck the perfect balance between tropical and elegant.
As Kristin walked down the aisle, the late afternoon light reflected off the water, casting a peaceful glow over the scene. A wooden sign welcomed guests with the words “Choose a seat, not a side. You are loved by both the groom and bride”—a tender touch that reflected Jack and Kristin’s hearts.
Every detail, from the color palette to the floral design, felt like a reflection of the couple’s love: grounded, graceful, and full of life.
What is Day of Coordination?
If you’ve never heard the term before, you’re not alone. Day-of coordination is for couples who’ve planned most of their wedding themselves but want someone to step in on the big day to manage all the logistics.
Think of it like this: You handle the planning; we handle the execution.
Your day-of coordinator will confirm details with vendors, manage the timeline, keep everything running smoothly, and solve problems before they reach you. At Love Letters Co., this means we make sure you’re focused on soaking up every second—while we handle where the florist should set up, when the DJ cues the music, and making sure grandma has a seat in the front row.
For Jack and Kristin, this meant showing up fully present—no stress, no last-minute calls—just joy.
Captured + Coordinated with Love
As both the wedding photographers and day-of coordinators, our team at Love Letters Co. had the honor of bringing this celebration to life in every way.
Our talented photographers documented each part of the day with our signature style—capturing those fleeting looks, joyful tears, and spontaneous dance moves. And behind the scenes, our coordination team made sure the schedule flowed smoothly, every vendor was supported, and Jack and Kristin never had to worry about what came next.
When photography and coordination work hand-in-hand, magic happens—and it’s all in the details.
