I had such a great time photographing this wedding at Waterscapes on Okaloosa Island between Fort Walton Beach & Destin – perfect weather, perfect day, perfect location, perfect couple! Although the day started off running a little behind, things ran smoothly & ended up absolutely beautiful! Justine & Mark came all the way from Missouri for their amazing Destination Wedding on the beach, so I’m sure the nice warm weather & day on the beach was a nice break from the weather they’re probably having right now. I’ve never actually been to Missouri, but let’s just say that I hear it’s cold!!! All of the flowers, decorations, setup, and catering were provided for and/or arranged by Destin Wedding Company.
So let’s get on with the story, shall we?!
Justine & Mark had their Destination Wedding at Waterscapes – I’ve passed by it a million times but I had no idea they had such a big property back there… it made for beautiful pictures!
And my favorite flowers in the whole world… orchids!
Haha, I sure hope these were Mark’s boots and not just some buddy’s! Either way they were super cool!!!
This shows the gorgeous color of the bridesmaids dresses, next to her flowers which were of major importance to Justine… and it just so happens that this is Justine’s little sister, who might I add was also the life of the party! HAHAHA
And that first look… nothing else compares…
That night, as the sun set, the sky was absolutely amazing. This shot is actually AFTER sunset… showing the deep blues of the sky and also the awesome cake:
And I love this… here is Sam – he was the minister but he’s also a DJ!
A huge thank you & Congratulations to Justine & Mark – you guys were so awesome & your friends & family were a blast! It was a great relaxing laid back wedding! We even broke out onto the dance floor for just a few minutes before tackling the little obstacle course on the lower pool (which we jumped into as well). Rumor has it everyone else dove into the pool after we left! We’re so bummed we missed it! We tried getting folks to jump in before we left, but no luck!! Ah well!!!
Congrats, and heres the slideshow!

By the way, if you are looking for an awesome beach resort, or location for a beach wedding & reception, Waterscapes is one of our little known secret gems on the coast here in Destin. It’s actually on Okaloosa Island, between Fort Walton Beach & Destin, and you would never ever realize from the street that Waterscapes has SO MUCH back there! The property is absolutely beautiful, the beaches are gorgeous, and the pools are fun for anyone with a family, or coming on their own for a relaxing weekend!
