Brooke and Forrest got married at the beautiful Oyster Bay Yacht Club, in Fernandina, FL. With the iconic Spanish moss hanging from the trees as the main decor and the cool ocean breeze flowing throughout the day, it was a beautiful day for a wedding!

The excitement before the wedding

Brooke and Forrest got ready the Villas adjacent to Oyster Bay, with Brooke on the second floor, and Forrest on the third, and there was such an exciting vibe. As the girls hurried around to help get Brooke ready, you could here the guys upstairs laughing and carrying on. Brooke wore the most stunning Martina Liana gown, and Forrest wore a classic black suit with black bow tie – they both looked so incredible! Before the ceremony, they chose to exchange letters to one another, right before their first look. It made the moment even more intimate between the two of them!

The outdoor ceremony

The ceremony took place under the tall Florida oak trees at Oyster Bay. The ceremony area was surrounded by the sounds of the birds in the marsh, which was perfect for the surroundings, because it was an intimate wedding. The ceremony began with a beautiful reading, and finished with a big cheer from everyone. It was a romantic ceremony, full of private smiles and so much love.

The reception

Brooke and Forrest had planned live music and cocktails for their guests, and everyone spent time throughout the night, conversing and dancing around the pool. Shortly after dinner was over, and the speeches and cake cutting had concluded – we snuck them down to the docks for a few last minute portraits just as the sun was setting. It was the perfect opportunity for the two of them to glance back up at the reception and soak in the fact that they did it! They were now Mr. & Mrs. Robertson!

The evening

After we returned (and everyone had finished with cake!) the band started up to get the party started, and the dancefloor was a very popular place to be! The live band kept everyone entertained all evening.

The evening ended with a huge sparkler exit leading the couple off to the trolley to depart for the evening. From the moment Brooke put on her dress to the their private dance on the deck at the end of the night; everything was absolutely perfect.

Brooke & Forrest you are the most amazing couple, and you fit together so perfectly, and seamlessly. You are the sweetest people we could have ever hoped to have the pleasure of working with – and it was such an honor to capture this moment in your lives for you! Congratulations you two! We are so excited for this next chapter of your story to begin!
