Florida Bridal Portrait Session by the Pier | Maddie-Mae

We love shooting bridal portraits separate from the wedding day because it allows time and space for the bride to enjoy the process without rushing to the next event on her schedule. This bridal portrait session at Harrison’s Restaurant and the pier by Indigo Hotel in Panama City was relaxed, and so much fun. The pier gave us a clean, open setting that kept the focus exactly where it should be: on Maddie-Mae. The light was soft, the background simple, and every frame felt natural and effortless.

Maddie-Mae wore a dramatic lace gown with a sheer corset, sweetheart neckline, and a long feathered train. The structure of the bodice and the softness of the lace created a beautiful contrast, while the train added striking movement.

Her bouquet was thoughtfully styled with red roses, deep purple alstroemeria, and large white chrysanthemum. The colors were rich and bold, yet still refined and classic.

Maddie-Mae chose incredibly delicate jewelry pieces that added just the right amount of detail without distracting from the gown. Subtle, intentional, and timeless.

Bridal portraits don’t need to be complicated to be beautiful. When the styling is intentional and the setting is uncluttered, the result is something timeless; imagery that feels just as relevant years from now as it does today.
