— Signature Service —
Most couples hire three vendors for what Ed provides in one booking: an officiant to write and deliver their ceremony, a notary to legally execute their marriage documents, and a photographer with professional equipment and off-camera lighting to capture it all.
Ed was a professional photographer before he became an ordained minister. That background shows in every ceremony — he knows where the light falls, when to pause, and how to position a moment so the photos last as long as the marriage does. Notary service is included at no extra charge with every package.

Ceremony Types
Christian, secular, same-sex, traditional, or something entirely your own. Ed writes ceremonies that fit who you are — not a template off a shelf.
Scripture-grounded, faith-centered, and written for your relationship specifically.
Meaningful, personal, and entirely secular — no religious language unless you want it.
Affirming, celebratory, and given the same care as every ceremony Ed performs.
The Emerald Coast is the venue — Ed handles the rest, from words to paperwork.
The ceremony you always deserved, on a beach that makes every promise feel new.
Two sands, one vessel — a ritual as tactile and lasting as the marriage itself.
