Bay Pointe Woods Wedding | Sara & Frank


Sara & Frank’s Dream Bay Pointe Woods Wedding: A Celebration of Love and Laughter


I can’t wait to share all the joy and love that filled Sara and Frank’s Bay Pointe Woods wedding day! These two are not just partners but best friends, and it shows in every glance, every laugh, and every little moment. The life they’re about to build together is straight out of a fairytale, and I feel so lucky to have captured their big day!

From the moment I arrived at Bay Pointe Woods, I knew it was going to be an incredible day. The calm outside was the perfect contrast to the fun energy inside the bridal cottage! Sara was all smiles as she got her makeup done, while her bridesmaids buzzed around making sure everything was perfect. I dove right in, photographing their beautiful rings, vow books, and other details—it was the perfect start to a perfect day!

While Sara was busy getting ready, I caught a glimpse of Frank checking in on the ceremony and reception setup. Relaxed and full of excitement, Frank was ready to marry the love of his life. With the sun shining and the weather picture-perfect, I knew we were in for a stunning celebration. Frank and his groomsmen, led by my second shooter Dylan, were all set for some fun portraits later!

Back at the bridal suite, Sara slipped into her breathtaking gown from The Wedding Shoppe, and her joy was contagious! A special bracelet from a dear friend and a veil that caught the breeze perfectly completed her look. But the most heartwarming moment? Her first look with her dad. There wasn’t a dry eye in the area when he saw his little girl in her wedding dress for the first time.

As if that wasn’t sweet enough, Sara gifted her dad a tie featuring a childhood photo of the two of them. And in a heartwarming twist, he surprised Sara by wearing the same socks he had on when he married her mom 35 years ago! Talk about the perfect good luck charm!

After that emotional first look, it was time for portraits. Sara and her bridesmaids were an absolute blast to photograph, and Frank and his groomsmen had just as much fun on their side of the venue. Both groups brought so much personality to their photos—you’ll just have to scroll down and see for yourself which crew looked like they were having the most fun!

Soon, guests began arriving for the ceremony. Frank was all smiles, working the crowd until the moment he saw Sara coming down the aisle. From that moment on, it was all about her. Sara’s radiant smile was only for Frank, and his love for her was written all over his face.

In their touching vows, Sara said, “I wanted a relationship like my parents… and I found that in you,” while Frank’s heartfelt words were, “You are my best friend, my home.” The love they share is undeniable, and witnessing the blending of their lives and families was nothing short of magical.

Once the vows were exchanged, it was time to celebrate! From beautiful and funny toasts to sweet dances—Sara sharing the moment with her dad, and Frank with his Nonna—the night was filled with love. Sara and Frank laughed their way through their first dance and then opened the dance floor for an epic party! The floor was packed all night long, and I can’t wait for you to see the fun moments we captured.

So, without further ado, I’ll stop writing and let the photos tell the rest of the story. Please join me in congratulating Sara and Frank on their beautiful Bay Pointe Woods wedding!
