Andrea and Shaun’s wedding day felt personal from the very beginning. Set at the beautiful Estate on the Halifax in Port Orange, Florida, their celebration was intimate, heartfelt, and full of personality.

With 50–70 of their closest family and friends present, the focus stayed on connection. Rather than following traditions just because, Andrea and Shaun designed a day that felt relaxed and true to them.

A Calm Morning and a Meaningful First Look

The day started quietly at the estate. Andrea got ready in the Agatha guest house, surrounded by family and a calm sense of anticipation. Meanwhile, Shaun prepared nearby in the estate’s train car, which added a unique and memorable touch.

Instead of formal portraits before the ceremony, Andrea and Shaun chose to share a first look somewhere on the estate grounds. Because of this, they were able to slow down, breathe, and enjoy a private moment together. That intentional pause set the tone for the rest of the day.

A Ceremony Focused on What Matters Most

Their indoor ceremony began at 4:30 PM and felt deeply intentional. The ceremony was non-religious and centered on custom vows they wrote themselves. As a result, the focus stayed on their relationship and the promises they were making.

The ceremony lasted about 30 minutes. It was heartfelt, relaxed, and filled with genuine emotion. Nothing felt rushed, and nothing felt forced.

Playful Details and Personal Touches

One of the most memorable parts of Andrea and Shaun’s wedding was their décor. Every detail reflected their playful side. From Andrea’s hand-rhinestoned bridal sleeves to DIY decorations featuring gold dinosaurs, their personality was everywhere.

Instead of chasing trends, they leaned into what they love. Because of that, the space felt warm, fun, and completely unique to them.

A Laid-Back Reception with Their Favorite People

After the ceremony, the celebration flowed directly into the reception at the same location. This made the evening feel easy and stress-free.

Guests enjoyed a buffet dinner from 4 Rivers Smokehouse. Meanwhile, Win Show Events kept the atmosphere light and upbeat with music throughout the night. Andrea and Shaun skipped choreographed dances and strict timelines. Instead, they focused on spending time with the people they love most.

A Wedding Day Built on Connection

At its core, Andrea and Shaun’s wedding was about being present. It was about laughing together, being a little awkward, and enjoying the moment as it unfolded.

Their day was intimate, playful, and full of heart. Most of all, it was a true reflection of who they are together.

Andrea and Shaun, thank you for trusting us to capture such a meaningful day. Your wedding was a beautiful reminder that the best celebrations are the ones that feel honest, personal, and completely your own.
