The Baker Wedding on 30a
When Bart and Jamie decided to say “I do,” they knew they wanted a setting as special as their love story. They left their Oklahoma roots behind and headed to the scenic shores of 30A, where they found the perfect backdrop for their wedding day — a charming house right close water. The ceremony was an intimate affair, with only their closest family in attendance, creating a warm and personal atmosphere that made every moment feel incredibly meaningful.
The day began with quiet excitement as the couple prepared for their vows. The house itself, perched on the edge of the pristine coastline, offered breathtaking views of the Gulf. As the waves gently lapped against the shore, the couple stood surrounded by the people they hold dearest, exchanging vows filled with love, laughter, and a few happy tears. The simplicity of the setting and the closeness of family made the experience feel less like an event and more like a cherished memory in the making.
Shortly after their heartfelt “I do’s,” we took a short stroll down to the beach to capture the magic of the moment against the backdrop of a spectacular 30A sunset. The sky was painted in hues of orange, pink, and gold, casting a warm glow over the newlyweds as they walked hand in hand along the shoreline. With the waves at their feet and the setting sun behind them, the couple’s love seemed to radiate in every photo.
These golden hour portraits weren’t just about capturing their smiles; they told the story of a couple embarking on a new journey together, framed by nature’s beauty and the joy of their union. The soft light of the sunset, the gentle sea breeze, and the laughter shared during the session made for images that are as emotional as they are stunning.
This 30A wedding wasn’t just a celebration of love; it was a reminder that sometimes the simplest moments are the most profound. For this Oklahoma couple, the combination of family, an idyllic seaside setting, and the magic of a sunset made their day unforgettable. And for me, as their photographer, it was an honor to be part of such a deeply personal and beautiful occasion.
