Nick Adams Beach Photographer Captiva

Beach photographer Nick Adams recently did a fantastic wedding at South Seas Island Resort. Here is what he had to say about it:

Kaia and Dave met on Match.com. Yes, it really works! Dave had been on the site for a while, but it was Kasia’s first time. A majority of Kasia’s friends were married off or about to be, so her best friend signed her up. Kasia had been on the site for about two months before she started talking to Dave. Long story short, Dave was the first and only guy she ever dated on Match.com.

Now for the big day! Kasia and Dave got married at Sunset Cove in the South Seas Island Resort. The theme was simple and elegant. Kasia’s main concern was she wanted everyone dancing, so she hired this AMAZING 11 piece band called The Headliners. This band really knew how to keep the party going.

“Married life is great! I just booked our honeymoon to the Dominican Republic! And we’re going through all our pictures! Finally, I got time last night to start the slideshow, we’re half way through… finishing up tonight. We LOVE them! Thank you SOOO much!”

It wasn’t that long ago that couples meeting online was rare, if not somewhat embarrassing for the couples concerned but nowadays it is commonplace. Beach photographer Nick Adams said: The first wedding I did for an online couple was so extraordinary that they requested emojicons be put throughout their album. I will never forget it, the groom, Marcelo was from Argentina and the bride was from the US. Neither of them particularly liked the ‘bar scene’ or the traditional methods of meeting people, so online dating was the perfect fit. They used Yahoo Personals which was the predecessor to Match.com. I can happily say… they are still married today and they will be celebrating their 10 year anniversary this coming Valentines day (2016). Marcelo and I share a passion for motorcycles and we are still friends to this day. In fact I am doing a multigenerational portrait session this week of Maura’s family. Cheers to online dating…. it works!
