Golden Hour Magic: Gabrielle & Cameron’s Poolside Wedding at Rapallo

Set against the palm-lined backdrop of Rapallo at Coconut Point in Estero, Florida, Gabrielle and Cameron’s wedding was a sun-soaked celebration of love, music, and joyful energy. With Bay Kings Band providing live wedding music and Lightwave Event Artists capturing the moments, their wedding day was every bit as vibrant as the couple themselves.

A Gorgeous Ceremony with Custom Soundtrack

The festivities began with a romantic outdoor ceremony beneath the Florida sky. Guests arrived to the soft sounds of live solo keys, as family members took their seats. Gabrielle walked down the aisle to a beautiful instrumental version of “All Star” by Henry Smith—a fun, unexpected choice that added a personal flair. Following their heartfelt vows, the newlyweds recessed down the aisle to “Golden Hour” by JVKE, a perfect sendoff into cocktail hour.

Cocktail Hour by the Pool

Set near the dolphin statue by the pool, guests enjoyed signature drinks and golden-hour mingling while a solo guitarist from Bay Kings Band played a curated mix of relaxed covers. Meanwhile, Gabrielle and Cameron slipped away for sunset portraits, beautifully documented by Lightwave Event Artists. The vibe? Chic, laid-back, and completely them.

A Pavilion Party to Remember

Under the open-air pavilion at Rapallo, the reception kicked off in high style. The couple made their entrance to “Good Life” by Kanye West ft. T-Pain, met with cheers and applause before transitioning into their first dance to “I’m Yours” by Jason Mraz. From there, we had the honor of performing a live Father-Daughter Dance to “Time in a Bottle” by Jim Croce and a Mother-Son Dance to “Love Me Like a Rock” by Paul Simon.

Following heartfelt speeches and a round of food truck fare, guests returned ready to dance—and we made sure they did just that. From soulful classics to high-energy hits, the Bay Kings Band brought the party to life. The couple ended the night surrounded by family, friends, and one unforgettable final song before their grand sendoff.

The Energy Was Electric
