Taylor and Colten’s Carillon Beach wedding was the perfect example of how a small, intimate celebration can feel both stylish and deeply meaningful. Nestled along the Florida coast, Carillon Beach has become one of the most sought-after destinations for couples looking to host a luxury micro wedding with a coastal backdrop. For Taylor and Colten, the choice was more than just about location—it was about history, family, and creating a wedding day that was uniquely their own.
From the start, Taylor had a bold vision for her Carillon Beach ceremony. She wanted a design that broke away from traditional beach wedding palettes. Instead of muted tones, she chose striking reds, which created a dramatic contrast against the lush palms and the endless blue of the ocean. This color story gave the wedding an editorial edge, proving that a Florida coastal wedding can be both timeless and fashion-forward.
One of the most memorable parts of their day was the intentional intimacy. Rather than planning a large-scale event, Taylor and Colten embraced the beauty of a micro wedding. Surrounded only by their closest family and friends, every moment felt personal and heartfelt. This choice reflected their values—quality time, genuine connection, and celebrating love in the most authentic way possible.
What made this Carillon Beach micro wedding even more special was the deep connection the couple already had to the community. The area was a place of past family vacations, crab boils, and cherished memories. By saying their vows in a space already filled with meaning, Taylor and Colten transformed their wedding into a continuation of their story. The location wasn’t just a venue—it was an anchor to their past and a foundation for their future.
As a destination wedding photographer, I’m always inspired by couples who make bold choices and tailor their wedding day to reflect who they are. Taylor and Colten’s celebration was a reminder that weddings don’t have to follow trends to be unforgettable. With thoughtful design, a strong sense of place, and intentional guest lists, even the most intimate weddings can feel grand in meaning.
Their Carillon Beach wedding was more than just a beautiful day—it was a love story brought to life along the Florida coast.
