Intimate Costa d’Este Wedding | Vero Beach Wedding Photography & Videography

When Casey and Nick decided to plan a destination wedding, they left Georgia behind and headed to the warm shores of Vero Beach, Florida. Their intimate wedding at Costa d’Este Beach Resort & Spa turned out to be the perfect mix of elegance, intimacy, and meaning.

(Also, side note: I’ve been to this venue multiple times and just that day learned Gloria Estefan owns it. How did I not know that?)

This small coastal celebration was full of genuine emotion, intentional details, and family-centered moments. Including their newborn son, who made an adorable entrance as the ring bearer, escorted by Casey’s mom! From getting ready to the sunset portraits, it was such an honor to capture both photo and video for a day so full of heart.

A Calm, Meaningful Celebration

Nick was described all day long as “a man of few words,” but his presence was steady and full of quiet care, especially when it came to their baby boy. His reaction during their first look was one of our favorite moments to witness; it was like you could physically see the breath he took when he saw her.

Casey was radiant in her gown from @suitebridal, paired with glam by @makeupbyjennycardona and hair by @stephdoeshairllc. Her lips were a standout moment, everyone talked about how obsessed she and her friends were with the ombré effect her makeup artist pulled off! Paired with soft, boho-inspired florals by @theconfetticompanyvb, she truly glowed.

Unplugged & Present: A Ceremony to Remember

The ceremony took place in a beautifully lit, covered outdoor space at Costa d’Este, tucked away near the front of the resort. Though not oceanfront, the setting offered a peaceful and intimate atmosphere that allowed everyone to focus fully on what mattered…the vows, the love, and the moment.

Before the ceremony began, the officiant made a request that set the tone:
“Alright, cell phones down from here on out.”

He invited guests to take a moment to snap a quick photo, and then asked them to be fully present.

As a photographer, I can’t tell you how impactful this was. With no phones in the way, I was able to capture pure guest reactions, teary eyes, shared smiles, and attentive faces. All things that can easily be lost when screens take center stage.

If you’re thinking about an unplugged ceremony, this is your sign. Your guests will be more connected, your photos will be more emotional, and your memories will be even clearer.

Vendor Team That Brought It All Together

This day ran flawlessly thanks to @marienicoleweddings, who helped bring every detail to life with care and grace. There’s actually a whole wild story behind how this wedding came together, you can read the behind-the-scenes of their planning journey on her Instagram posts about Casey & Nick’s day! The soft color palette, curated rentals, and laid-back schedule created space for joy and intention, not rush.
