Coastal Bespoke Photo & Film Collective
What began as a handful of weddings along the Florida coast grew into a creative calling—a photo and film collective built to serve couples who live fully, love deeply, and don’t mind a little sand between their toes.
We’re Matt & jaelyn,
The Hands That Hold the Camera—and the Story
It started with curiosity, connection, and a shared love for God. We met unexpectedly—drawn not just to each other, but to something deeper: a life rooted in creativity, faith, and purpose. From the beginning, we knew what we were building wasn’t just for us—it was meant to serve others.
HEY, LOVEBIRDS!
We built this on faith, love, and a lot of sunsets.
It started with the two of us—newly married, chasing sunsets with cameras in hand, drawn back to the coast again and again. What began as a creative outlet quickly became something more: a calling to tell stories that matter.
Now with a trusted team beside us, we still approach every wedding the same way—present, grounded in faith, and in awe of the love we get to witness. From quiet beach towns to faraway places, the heart stays the same: honoring your day and capturing what matters most.

We pour our hearts
into every frame,
knowing that these films & photos
will become cherished memories
"Watching the video felt like reliving the best day of our lives, and it brought tears to our eyes all over again."
That’s what we aim for. A final film and photo gallery that doesn’t just show what happened—but how it felt to be there. We don’t follow a formula—we build around what matters most to you.
I’ve always been driven by faith, people, and big vision. Filmmaking entered my life as a natural extension of those things—a way to honor the beauty in everyday moments and create something lasting for others. White Sands Weddings began as a dream to create more than wedding videos—I wanted to build a brand that would serve people well, reflect their story with honesty, and do it all with joy and purpose. Today, I feel incredibly grateful to work alongside a growing team of artists and to continue telling stories that matter, rooted in faith, creativity, and a deep love for people.
Founder & Filmmaker
meet Matt
For me, the wedding business is more than a job—it’s a calling. I’ve always had a heart for people, for beauty, and for celebrating meaningful moments, and being part of someone’s wedding day brings all of that together. What started as supporting Matt’s creative vision quickly became a shared passion—to build something meaningful together. I help bring life to the brand behind the scenes, making sure every move reflects the joy, faith, and intentionality we pour into each wedding. Getting to build this with my husband is one of the greatest gifts—because we’re not just capturing love stories, we’re living ours too.
Co-Founder & Director
meet Jaelyn
I love playing with light and color and trying to capture a feeling in a time capsule, but the best part of my job is connecting the beautiful parts of the day with the hearts of the people the day is about. After 11 years in this field, I still find myself moved by moments of love and connection between humans. I count myself lucky that my job is capturing and creating photos and videos that will help you reconnect with some of the most important days in your whole life. It’s always an honor to be chosen to share that space with you, and I love working with a team that prioritizes high-quality work and your unique love story!
your photographer
meet Jana
I’ve been filming weddings for over six years, and every time I pick up my camera, I’m reminded why I fell in love with this work in the first place. Weddings are more than a celebration—they’re a collection of once-in-a-lifetime moments, and I’m passionate about capturing the authentic emotion, the quiet in-between glances, and the unforgettable joy that couples will cherish for years to come. Away from weddings, I recharge outdoors fishing, hunting, scuba diving, or simply chasing sunshine on the water. In the end, I’m here to serve, celebrate, and preserve what matters most.
your videographer
meet Hunter
I’m Ilona, and editing wedding films is where my heart and creativity collide. For over three years, I’ve had the joy of shaping stories that feel deeply human—each cut, each transition, crafted to reflect the emotion and rhythm of a couple’s day. I believe that editing isn’t just about visuals—it’s about honoring real love through thoughtful, intentional storytelling. I get to bring these moments to life from behind the screen, turning raw footage into something timeless. It’s an honor to be part of a team that values story, soul, and beauty in every frame.
your Video Editor
meet Ilona
I have been immortalising love stories as a wedding photographer all around the globe for the last 3 years. Communicating moments that are rooted in love through the perspective of my lens is the life blood of my brand. Where love is the blood, relationships are the breath. The marriage of these two concepts is essential in achieving our ultimate goal, as we don't just seek to provide quality photographs but more so a lasting experience that will live imprinted on the hearts of you and your family for a lifetime. My aspiration is to bring this value of intentionality to the table as an editor for White Sands Weddings in immortalising your love story in the most authentic way visually.
