An Intimate Summer Elopement on Boca Grande | Hailey + Cade

There’s something undeniably magical about a summer elopement, especially when it takes place on the sun-kissed shores of Boca Grande. Tucked away on the Gulf Coast of Florida, this charming island set the perfect scene for Hailey and Cade’s intimate “I do.”

Surrounded by only their closest family members, Hailey and Cade exchanged heartfelt vows with the ocean breeze in their hair and soft waves lapping at the sand nearby. The moment felt like a secret whispered between soulmates—quiet, meaningful, and unforgettable.

Hailey looked absolutely radiant in her off-shoulder fitted gown that flowed effortlessly in the coastal wind. Her soft glam, courtesy of The Gasparilla Inn salon, complemented her natural beauty with a timeless elegance that perfectly matched the island setting. Cade brought a touch of Texas charm to the beach with his relaxed jeans, crisp white shirt, and a cowboy hat that never left his side—a nod to his roots and a style that was unmistakably him.

After the ceremony, we hopped into a golf cart (as all Boca Grande adventures should begin!) and explored some of the island’s most picturesque corners. From the shady banyan-lined streets to the historic lighthouse, every spot felt like it was made just for them. The laughter, the glances, the easy love between them—it was all captured in those in-between moments.

As the sun began its golden descent, we made our way back to the beach for their final portraits. The sky lit up in shades of pink and peach, casting a dreamy glow over the newlyweds. Hand in hand, barefoot in the sand, they soaked up the last light of the day as husband and wife.

Hailey + Cade’s elopement was proof that love doesn’t need an audience—it just needs a little sunshine, a quiet beach, and two hearts ready for forever.
