Marco Island Beach Wedding | Effortless Elegance

By Harper for Stills by Hernan | Naples Florida Wedding Photographer

Sometimes, the Best Weddings Are the Ones Planned from the Heart

Who says you need months to plan the perfect wedding? Some of the most heartfelt, unforgettable celebrations I’ve witnessed as a Naples Florida Wedding Photographer have come together in just a matter of weeks. When Vickie first reached out to Stills by Hernan, her excitement was contagious. She spoke about Brian with a warmth that radiated through every conversation, and Brian spoke about Vickie and their children with such genuine love that I knew their day would be something truly special.
