Some wedding weekends feel less like an event and more like a true escape shared with your favorite people. Cade and Sam’s celebration at La Bougainvillea in Eleuthera was exactly that—a laid-back, heartfelt weekend filled with sunshine, ocean breezes, and unforgettable moments.

The festivities began with a casual beach bonfire—just close friends, conversation around the fire, and the sound of waves in the background. The next day’s “Sip and Swim” was all about slowing down: lounging by the pool, beach walks, ocean swims, and even an impromptu volleyball game in the sand. It was the perfect way to settle into paradise.

The evening before the wedding, guests gathered for an all-white welcome party at sunset. A cigar bar—thoughtfully included to honor Sam’s late father—made the evening even more personal, alongside cocktails, laughter, and the warmest energy.

The wedding day itself was pure magic. From thoughtful details to a packed dance floor, the night was unforgettable—especially when a Junkanoo parade kicked off the after party.

Cade also brought her own personal style to every single look of the weekend. From her sleek welcome party ensemble to her elegant gown on the big day, she was the definition of bold, timeless, and effortlessly cool.

Cade and Sam, thank you for inviting me into such a meaningful chapter. It was an honor to capture it all.
