Twenty years of friendship, countless memories, and somehow life brought us here—to a quiet June evening on the beaches of Florida, camera in hand, capturing one of the most beautiful moments of my best friend’s life. ✨🤍
What started as a friendship two decades ago turned into the incredible honor of standing behind the lens as she married the love of her life. Between the salty air, pastel skies, and happy tears, this day felt like something out of a dream.
There’s something so special about photographing people you love—the smiles are more meaningful, the moments hit a little deeper, and every image tells a story you’ve been part of for years.
Here’s to forever friendships, new beginnings, and sunsets we’ll never forget. Congratulations to the newlyweds—thank you for letting me preserve this chapter of your love story Carmen Bedke-Coates and Chris Coates 🌊💍 Alyssa Turner photography
