There’s a quiet kind of magic at The Mulberry in New Smyrna Beach — not from crashing waves, but from whispered laughter beneath oak trees and the golden light that settles gently across the barn. It’s the perfect setting for a New Smyrna Beach wedding that feels grounded, genuine, and endlessly warm. For Matthew and Rachel, this was more than a wedding day. It was a gathering of hearts, a celebration of kindness, and a reflection of who they truly are: joyful, thoughtful, and deeply in love.
From the very first moment we met, I could feel their warmth. Rachel’s smile, Matthew’s kindness — it was the kind of connection that makes photographing a couple feel like being part of something extraordinary. I knew their day would be beautiful, not just in how it looked, but in how it felt.
This was a celebration of Love and Light!
