Champagne Romantic Yacht Starship Wedding | Addison & Brett
On September 7th, Addison and Brett celebrated their love in style with a stunning destination wedding on the Yacht Starship in Clearwater, Florida. Living in Missouri, they invited friends and family from across the country to join them in this unforgettable coastal setting. Their day was filled with beautiful moments, thoughtful details, and the perfect mix of elegance and fun.
The celebration began at the Wyndham Grand Clearwater Beach, where Addison and her bridesmaids prepared with the Gulf as their breathtaking backdrop. Addison’s dress was a showstopper, and the sentimental touch of her mom gifting her diamond earrings as her “something new” and her something blue was a penny in a little blue pouch that was from her birth year. Her brother put the finishing touch on her look by placing the veil. Addison’s bridesmaids shared an unforgettable reveal, their excitement and joy radiating as they saw their beautiful best friend in her gown, who was by the same designer as her sister’s gown as she got married earlier this year also!
While Addison was at the Wyndham, Brett and his groomsmen were having a blast at a nearby Airbnb. Brett went the extra mile to surprise each of his groomsmen with custom bobbleheads and cufflinks, creating a memorable, personalized gift that had everyone laughing. Their getting-ready festivities wrapped up with a champagne pop—a perfect way to kick off the day before heading to the Yacht Starship.
The weather couldn’t have been more perfect as we set sail, with clear skies and gentle waves giving everyone a front-row seat to the beauty of Clearwater’s bay. Their ceremony was framed by sweeping water views, creating a picturesque scene that was both romantic and unique. Brett danced his way down the aisle and was met with high fives and hugs from his groomsmen.
In true Clearwater fashion, we had a beautiful and partially overcast sunset which makes for textury clouds in the sky. Sunset never gets old here and each one is different.
As a couple who loves donuts, Addison and Brett delighted guests with a fabulous cake topper and dessert station featuring their favorite treats. The celebration continued on the top deck under market lights, where they shared their first dance as husband and wife. Dancing under the stars with the bay in the background was nothing short of magical and the ideal way to start their next chapter.
It was such a privilege to capture Addison and Brett’s wedding, a celebration filled with love, laughter, and so many personal touches that made it their own. Wishing them a lifetime of happiness and love!
