Few settings can rival the charm of an oceanfront wedding, and M & S took it to another level by exchanging vows on a yacht docked in the scenic harbor. With the sparkling water surrounding them and the salty breeze in the air, their celebration was a perfect blend of elegance, intimacy, and coastal beauty. As their photographer, I had the pleasure of capturing every moment as the yacht became a floating venue filled with love and laughter.
The ceremony took place on the upper deck beneath strings of hanging lanterns in shades of white and ocean blue, adding a whimsical pop of color against the crisp sky. Rows of white-draped chairs faced a modern geometric arch adorned with soft florals. As M made her entrance, framed by sailboats and cityscape in the background, the harbor setting lent an air of serenity that made the moment all the more powerful.
After the ceremony, the newlyweds were joined by their bridal party for portraits that embraced the nautical backdrop. The entire wedding party beamed with joy, playfully lining up along the yacht’s deck as M & S shared a kiss beneath the lantern-lit arch. Their easy chemistry and radiant happiness made my job effortless—and the golden hour light certainly didn’t hurt either.
Inside the yacht, the reception space was transformed into an elegant dining area. Surrounded by panoramic windows revealing endless views of the oceanfront, guests dined at round tables adorned with fresh greenery and delicate centerpieces. The mirrored ceiling added a modern touch, reflecting the soft lighting and movement of the evening like water.
One particularly special moment came during M & S’s first dance. With the yacht gently rocking and their closest friends and family watching, they shared a private, heartfelt exchange in a space that truly felt like theirs. The intimacy of a yacht wedding meant that every moment was shared closely—with nothing but love and water all around.
Weddings like M & S’s are a reminder of how unique each celebration can be. Their choice of a yacht wedding brought both sophistication and a deep sense of peace, offering an unforgettable experience for them and their guests. Whether you’re drawn to the idea of an oceanfront ceremony or simply want a celebration that stands apart, a yacht wedding might just be the perfect harbor for your love story.
