Charlotte & Coleman: Beachy Duke's Malibu Wedding

Charlotte and Coleman’s love story truly began at Malibu Beach, where they chose to exchange their vows in an intimate, serene ceremony. Surrounded by the sound of crashing waves and the gentle ocean breeze, they stood hand-in-hand, promising forever to one another. Although the wind was to where I couldn't hear their words, it couldn’t quiet the emotions I saw in their eyes — the deep connection and pure love they shared were felt in every glance and gentle touch.

After Charlotte and Coleman exchanged their vows on the beach, we made our way to Duke's Malibu, where the celebration continued. The energy shifted from the quiet intimacy of the ceremony to a lively and heartfelt gathering with their closest friends and family. The atmosphere at Duke’s was perfect — a seamless blend of coastal charm and warm hospitality. The space was filled with laughter, stories, and love, as guests toasted to the newlyweds in the restaurant’s vibrant yet relaxed ambiance.

As the evening unfolded, the celebration at Duke’s Malibu shifted into full swing as Charlotte and Coleman hit the dance floor. The couple, beaming with happiness, danced the night away, surrounded by their friends and family, all caught up in the joy of the moment. The DJ played an amazing mix of upbeat tracks that kept the energy high and the guests moving, from classic dance hits to more contemporary tunes. The crowd was electric, feeding off the vibrant atmosphere and the couple’s infectious energy.

The dance floor wasn’t just about the music—it was a visual feast, too. Cool strobe lights in vibrant colors illuminated the room, casting a dynamic glow over the crowd. The colors added a playful, almost otherworldly vibe to the night, creating the perfect ambiance for everyone to let loose and celebrate.
