Prepare yourselves for a long, but insanely beautiful, post from Brianne and Alex’s wedding two weeks ago!
These two are one of the most relaxed couples I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with, and every single time I got to work with them somehow seemed better than the last! It started with their amazing engagement session at Rollins College last year, which you can (and definitely should) see here. They brought their sweet pup, Mia, and we got some epic photos (I use that term only when it absolutely stands true, and you just have to see the last photo from their engagement session!).
By the time their wedding day rolled around, we were so excited and ready to get the good times started. They tied the knot at the wonderful Bella Collina in Montverde, FL. It’s our own little Tuscany, with our “hills” in the distance. Hey…in Florida, we take what we can get!
Brianne and Alex had one thing that there were no if’s, and’s, or but’s about, and that was to have a sunset ceremony. They completely understood that by doing so and skipping the First Look, we wouldn’t have enough time for all of their bride and groom portraits. When you’re getting married at a place like Bella Collina, you need time to walk around the venue to get the most amazing spots. With that, they decided to go ahead and book themselves a post-wedding session for 2 weeks after their wedding. It was an amazing idea they had, and I can tell that it took so much pressure off of them the day of the wedding. They were able to have the sunset ceremony they wanted (and I’m SO thankful they did because, well, you’ll see the photos!), and they were able to spend plenty of time with their friends and family.
The details of their wedding were beyond breathtaking. With the collection of wedding vendors involved, it’s no surprise that it was as stunning as it was! Floral from the fabulous Lee Forrest Designs, coordinated by the wonderful Blush by Brandee Gaar, and amazing linen from La Tavola! Make sure to check out the rest of the fantastic vendors at the end of this blog to see who helped make it all come together to the beautiful wedding you’re about to see.
Enjoy!
