When me and my assistant arrived at Gina’s parents home, the house was decorated so sweetly for the wedding. There were balloons, sashes, a beautiful brunch spread and of course mimosas! They really started the day off right!! While we began gathering the bride’s details together, Marissa was over at the Bungalow Hotel doing the same with Nick and the groomsmen! Gina’s parents home was absolutely beautiful which made for amazing detail photos and portraits of the bride!! For the best natural light I love to bring the bridal party outside, and though it was a chilly morning there was a tent behind the house that was heated!!! The girls were happy about that one! After the cutest robe photos everyone got into their dresses! Not only was Gina’s Castle Couture dress stunning on the hanger but EVEN MORE SO on her! Long sleeve wedding dresses are one of my favorites!! We were all blown away by how beautiful she looked! Her groom gifted her earrings that morning which went perfectly with her wedding day look. Their ceremony was at one of my FAVORITE churches Church of The Precious Blood. The emotions in the room were raw, and it was so sweet to see Nick so overjoyed to be marrying his bride. On the way to The Channel Club I jumped into the trolley with the bride, groom and bridal party to get some fun photos of everyone! We took the bridal party out on the deck overlooking the water. Although it was a windy day the view was still breathtaking. Once we got into the reception that’s when the party REALLY started and everyone was able to let loose. If you have never been to the channel club I highly recommend it! It is one of the most beautiful locations! During the special dances both sides of the family had something extra special planned! Gina’s Mom + musician, Jody Joseph sang a beautiful rendition of “Bridge over Troubled Water” by Simon and Garfunkel while Gina + Nick danced with their grandparents- it was so sweet!! Nick + his mom’s special dance was by far one of my favorites because they broke out into an AWESOME choreographed dance!! It brought so much excitement in the room! The speeches ended JUST as the sun was going down which was perfect since Gina + Nick wanted sunset photos!! The wind was still strong but we all toughed it up, ran down the dock and it was SO worth it, as you can see in the photos!! With Supreme Productionz the party did not stop! Gina + Nick were tearing up the dance floor all night long. Nick’s excitement made for the most epic photos, especially on the dance floor!! These two are going to have a life full of love, fun and laughter!! What better combo!? Congratulations Mr. + Mrs. Bellia!! #Belliainathingcalledlove
Enjoy the photos!
