Hailey and Rowan’s May Isla Bella Beach wedding was the perfect blend of tropical and timeless. Their coastal details felt right—classic and timeless against the backdrop of tropical palm trees. The whole weekend had an elevated elegant vibe, where everything felt natural but intentional. Hailey and Rowan wanted to have a fun relaxed weekend with their favorite people while also creating beautiful events, and they pulled it off effortlessly. From the soft, subtle decor of their welcome dinner, to the easygoing and fun setting of their pool party, and chic wedding day decor, everything was a reflection of who they are as a couple. They found that sweet spot between chic and casual, making their wedding weekend feel both intimate and memorable without feeling overdone…and having their wedding photographer capture every event on film and Super 8 allowed the couple to remember these moments forever!
What made their wedding stand out was how they turned it into a full weekend experience. With a destination wedding, it’s not just about the day itself—it’s about every moment before and after. From beach hangouts to group dinners, it’s those in-between times that make the whole celebration feel more connected. That’s why capturing the entire weekend, not just the wedding day, is so important. You want to look back and remember all those casual, meaningful moments with your closest people.
As a film photographer, those natural, real moments are everything. When you choose to photograph the whole weekend, especially somewhere as stunning as Isla Bella, you’re capturing a bigger story. It’s not just about the ceremony or the portraits—it’s about the vibe of the entire Isla Bella Beach wedding that stays with you long after it’s over. You get to relive the candid laughs, the quiet walks on the beach, and the spontaneous moments that make the weekend feel so personal. Those are the memories that truly last, and having them on film keeps them feeling just as real years later.
