Naples Beach Hotel | Kim + Derek Wedding | Naples Photography Studio

Derek and Kim first met in High School in February of 2004 in Naples, Fl. They met through a mutual friend and had an instant connection. Quarterback of the football team and captain of the cheerleading team they were High School sweethearts. In college even though they were thousands of miles apart, they continued to date and watch their love grow stronger even from a distance. After college they both started their careers in SW Florida and knew it would be love forever. On June 23rd, 2013 while walking on the beach in Naples, Derek got down on one knee and proposed. They began planning the wedding of their dreams and made a big move to Chicago to progress their careers together. The Naples Beach Hotel was the perfect choice overlooking the beach and ocean were they both grew up. On Friday, February 6th 2015, Kim’s father walked her down the isle to marry her best friend, Derek. The day couldn’t have been more perfect!
