Nestled in the heart of Jacksonville, Florida, The Glass Factory is an architectural gem. With its exposed brick walls, high ceilings, and natural light, it’s the perfect venue for couples seeking elegance with a touch of history. For Makayla and Travis, it was the ideal setting for the next chapter of their love story.
A Love That Started in Youth
Makayla and Travis met at church when they were 12. As the only girl in a youth group filled with ten boys, Makayla never imagined she would fall for the most energetic and talkative one. Their friendship grew through church trips and adventures, but she always thought, “I could never be with someone like him.” Fate had other plans.
After a family trip to Mexico in 2016, Travis asked Makayla to hang out. From that moment, they became inseparable. Seven years later, during a mountain getaway, he got down on one knee and asked her to be his forever.
An Engagement Story for the Books
Travis’s proposal in the mountains of Ellijay, GA, reflected their adventurous love story. But before the magical moment, chaos unfolded. A night of bar-hopping in Nashville ended with Makayla crashing a scooter into a brick wall. She suffered a dental emergency that required an unexpected trip to the dentist. Meanwhile, Travis nearly lost the engagement ring when a stranger found it in a bathroom.
Despite the setbacks, Travis proposed at a scenic lookout, making all the misadventures worth it. The answer? A resounding, “YES!”
A Wedding Day Filled with Love and Joy
Makayla and Travis’s wedding at The Glass Factory was nothing short of magical. Surrounded by 200 of their closest family and friends, their day was filled with love, laughter, and the most joyful wedding party.

Before the ceremony, they shared a heartfelt first look, a private moment filled with anticipation and love. As they stood face to face, all the nerves melted away, setting the tone for the beautiful day ahead.
During the ceremony, their vows were spoken through tear-filled eyes in one of the most emotional moments of the day. The love they shared was palpable, touching the hearts of everyone in attendance.
