What an absolute blast it was to be a part of Morgan and Nick’s wedding day! Set at the stunning Mulberry in New Smyrna Beach Florida, this wedding was a perfect mix of heartfelt moments, emotional first looks, and a reception that had everyone on the dance floor. I’m so excited to share the highlights of their big day, from those tear-jerking first looks to the epic party vibes that followed!

Getting Ready: The Calm Before the Party

The day kicked off with the bridal party and groomsmen getting ready in their respective rooms, surrounded by love, laughter, and just a tiny bit of pre-wedding nerves. Morgan and her bridesmaids had a relaxed, fun vibe as they prepped for the big moment. The bridesmaids helped Morgan into her gown (which, by the way, was absolutely stunning!), and there were so many sweet moments shared, from laughter to sentimental touches as everyone geared up for the ceremony.

Meanwhile, Nick and the groomsmen were equally chill, enjoying some laughs and a few celebratory toasts before the big day really kicked into high gear. Their matching suits were sharp, and you could already tell they were ready to celebrate Morgan, their love, and their future together.

First Looks: Tears, Laughter, and All the Feels

One of the highlights of the day was definitely Morgan’s first look moments—because not just one, not just two, but three!

First, Morgan shared a sweet moment with her bridesmaids for her bridesmaid first look. The look on their faces when they saw her for the first time in her wedding dress was priceless. There was so much joy and excitement in the air, and it was clear that Morgan’s girls were just as thrilled as she was.

Next up was the father-daughter first look. Morgan walked up to her dad, and as soon as he turned around, the emotion hit hard. His face said it all—a mix of pride, love, and maybe just a hint of nostalgia (who could blame him? It’s a big moment for any dad!).

Finally, the big moment everyone had been waiting for—Morgan’s first look with Nick. The anticipation in the air was palpable, and when Morgan made her way toward Nick, you could feel the love between them. Nick’s face when he saw Morgan was pure magic—a mix of awe and excitement that made everyone around them get all teary-eyed. It was such a beautiful moment, and I think everyone around them could feel how special and real their love is.

Wedding Party and Family Portraits

After those tear-jerking first looks, it was time to get some photos with the wedding party and families. The bridal party was absolutely fabulous—everyone was full of energy, ready for photos, and just really vibing with the celebration. We got a mix of fun, posed shots and candid moments that truly captured their personalities and the love they all share for Morgan and Nick.

Family portraits followed. These are the people who have been there through thick and thin, and it was obvious that Morgan and Nick were surrounded by so much love and support from both their families.

The Ceremony: Short and Sweet

The ceremony itself was a true reflection of Morgan and Nick’s love—heartfelt and emotional. They exchanged vows in front of their closest family and friends, promising to be there for each other through all of life’s ups and downs. It was such a sweet moment to witness, and you could see how much these two truly mean to each other. The couple wanted a quick ceremony (and that they got!) so they could get rid of the nerves and enjoy their time with friends and family.

After the ceremony, everyone headed straight to the cocktail hour, where guests could mingle, enjoy some delicious bites, and sip on drinks while the newlyweds snuck away for a few more portraits around the property.

Reception: Let’s Dance!

Then came the reception, and let me tell you—it was one heck of a party! The energy in the room was infectious, and it didn’t take long for the dance floor to fill up. From the moment Morgan and Nick had their first dance to when the DJ spun their favorite tunes, everyone was on their feet, dancing, laughing, and just enjoying the celebration.

The couple’s family and friends had a blast celebrating with them, and it was clear that this was going to be a night to remember. The speeches were emotional and hilarious (I mean, who doesn’t love a good wedding toast?), and the cake cutting was just as sweet as you’d expect.

But the real highlight of the night? The dance floor. Morgan and Nick were front and center, leading the charge in a fun, free-spirited way that kept everyone moving. The dance-off was a thing of legend, and it’s safe to say there were no shortage of epic dance moves and unforgettable moments.

Final Thoughts: A Day to Remember

Morgan and Nick’s wedding was everything you could hope for in a celebration of love—sweet, emotional, and a whole lot of fun. From the intimate first looks to the wild dance party at the reception, this was a wedding that truly captured the couple’s personalities and the love they share. The Mulberry in New Smyrna Beach was the perfect backdrop, with its charming and intimate atmosphere that added so much to the day.

I feel so honored to have been able to witness such a beautiful celebration and to capture all of the amazing moments. Congrats to Morgan and Nick! Your love is truly something special, and I know you two are going to have an incredible life together. Here’s to many more happy memories!
