Katie & Chris’s Colorful Day at the JW Marriott Marco Island Beach Resort

A Marco Island Celebration to Remember; Alongside All Near & Far

Katie & Chris celebrated their wedded bliss alongside a party of 106 loved ones at JW Marriott Marco Island Beach Resort; quite the crew for a destination wedding! It was so special to see folks come together from all different parts of the couples’ stories. The couple themselves are endlessly sweet, and to top it all off, their large and mighty bridal party showered them (and us!)  with love and laughter each and every moment.

These shots of Katie excitedly peering out onto the Marco Island Beach are by far some of our favorite shots of the day. Her gentle and timeless bridal look paired with the pastel palette of the beach backdrop is show-stopping!

We adore that the couple opted against a traditional arbor and instead said, “I Do” under a tiki hut on the beach.
