Rich proposed to Katie on the City Pier on Anna Maria Island, and they both wanted a low-key elopement when they returned to Anna Maria a year later. The perfect spot for the ceremony? The beach with the pier in the background.

Choosing simplicity, Rich and Katie opted out of the traditional bouquet, allowing nature’s beauty to be the focal point. The couple also decided on an intimate and heartfelt script for their ceremony designed by AMI Beach Weddings.

In pursuit of capturing the perfect images, Emma-Rose from Sandhill Photography was not afraid to climb rocks or venture into the water to frame the perfect photo. Her clear directions and confidence coaxed shy Katie and dapper Rich into a stunning photo session to memorialize their wedding day.
