Makayla + Nikoli | Gulf Shores Wedding Chapel + Beach Wedding | Alabama Wedding Photographer

Makayla and Nikoli’s Gulf Shores wedding featured a quaint chapel and romantic beach portraits—truly the best of both worlds. Their nuptials started with a ceremony at Gulf Shores Wedding Chapel, a beautiful venue with a charming white chapel surrounded by trees. I love this location because it perfectly captures traditional wedding vibes with its timeless aesthetic.

Makayla was a vision in white made all the more stunning with hair and makeup by Beautiful Buzz Beauty Bar. She was a gorgeous bride, and the way Nikoli admired her all day made me swoon. Before heading to their sweet, intimate ceremony, we took advantage of Gulf Shores Wedding Chapel’s beautiful property for portraits. Listening to the bride’s twin sisters sing was one of my favorite parts. After hearing their angel voices, there wasn’t a dry eye in the house!

After Makayla and Nikoli tied the knot, we headed to the beach to take newlywed photos. The sun was slowly setting, so everything was golden—talk about perfection! Makayla, Nikoli, and their wedding crew ended the night with a reception at Cobalt the Restaurant. Shout out to Eventive Occasions for coordinating and designing this unforgettable wedding! 

Cheers to Makayla and Nikoli for sharing a lifetime of love and happiness!

I’d love to be your wedding photographer! Please reach out so we can chat.
