This wedding is forever branded in my mind where it felt like a dream. Moments of film sprinkled throughout added warmth and another layer of storytelling.

From the moment of getting ready, Gabrielle radiated and every turn I felt I was documenting true moments with feeling in her parents home that her mom designed from the inside out. The garden just outside the window held memories of her grandmother as it was her favorite place.

The celebrations continued throughout her family’s property where memories were held since she was a little girl. Every place had memories and significance.

They said yes to forever under the palms with those dearest to them with Jesus at the center. And as they celebrated becoming one, we made our way to the water where they had many memories and dates of boating together and watching the sunset.

As it neared dusk, a storm rolled in over the horizon creating a stunning sunset as Ian and Gabrielle had a moment alone together on the dock.

The clouds rolled in and the rain came, but that didn’t stop the celebration under the tent. From one heart felt speech to another there wasn’t a dry eye in the room. The night continued with a live band and all the good vibes solely captured on film (which was the cherry on top imo 🤌🏼)

A day I’ll never forget. And new friends that I’ll forever cherish.

Moments of film + digital at the Palm Mansion with the Youngs.

This day was so very special as it was the day my best friend married the man she had prayed for. Shooting film allowed me to truly capture those lived in moments and still being present in every moment of the day.

Working with my incredible associate Lindsey, made the day feel so seamless and truly capturing the joy and holiness of the day.

And worked with my favorite florist ever who weaves their story into the florals so beautifully.

The Halls celebration weekend was so special to document. Not only are they close friends, but truly feel like family, and being able to capture these moments alongside the people who have shaped them over the years was such an honor.

Bryce and Anzel got married during COVID and never had the chance to have a wedding where all the people they love could come together and celebrate them. Six years later, seeing them with two beautiful daughters and renewing their vows with God at the center was so beautiful to witness.

It was so hard to narrow it down to just 20 moments to share, but I feel like these truly tell the story of the day and the joy that filled it.

Moments of art captured at the beautiful Henry Morrison Flagler Museum.

Leaning into the history and culture the museum carries and documenting that feeling was a dream to do. Each frame felt like its own piece of art mixing digital with film to add texture and unique storytelling of the evening!

Couldn’t have done it without an incredible team

Let’s talk multi-day weddings.

A glimpse into the Harrison’s wedding weekend in Italy. Olivia chose to have two wedding looks, saving one to explore the streets of Sorrento with her soon to be husband in a vintage car.

And this is exactly what I mean when I say your story doesn’t begin and end on the wedding day.

There was no timeline to follow here. No pressure to be anywhere. Just the two of them, fully present, taking in the place they chose to begin their marriage.

These are the moments that add depth to your story. The in-between. The slow, lived-in parts of the weekend where you’re not performing, you’re just being.

For the couple who values experience just as much as the celebration, who wants their people woven into every part of the weekend, who cares more about how it felt than how it looked.

Whether that’s a welcome dinner that turns into hours of conversation, a morning by the pool, a tennis match with your closest friends, or wandering the streets of a city that now holds part of your story…

This is where your gallery becomes something you can step back into.

Not just a day, but a chapter.

And it deserves to be told that way.

I get emotional thinking of all of you who have been along my journey of growing Makaela Skinner Photography.

To all my clients who have become family, to my friends who have always encouraged me to keep going, to my family who have always believed in me, thank you!

I’m finally stepping in the dream the Lord put in my heart as a young girl. I never say it’s a coincidence that I get to work with so many amazing couples who are my kind of people and truly become family!

To all my couples who have trusted me with your dream wedding day, thank you 🥹! I never take it for granted and I’m forever just as over the moon and excited to capture your day as you are to marry your person!

Throwing it back to my launch event and all the people who showed up with so much love. Your support made every late night, every pivot, every moment of perseverance worth it. Thank you for being part of the start of something so special.

Love you all so much!

With love,
Makaela
