Naples Botanical Garden | Wedding

It seems as if it were just yesterday that we met Sam and Marc at the Naples Botanical Garden for their engagement session.  The two are absolutely perfect together, and we were so excited to photograph their wedding!  Their big day was coordinated by Lexi of Vowed to You, and was filled with countless emotional moments from start to finish.  Surrounded by the beauty of the lush, tropical gardens, we documented the details including Marc’s ring passed down from a grandfather and his customized cuff links.  

The ladies spent the morning preparing with EC Bridal Glow on hair and Unbreakable Beauty on makeup, and we captured a few photos of them in their matching sweatshirts.  Sam surprised her mother by putting on her mom’s wedding dress, and the tears began to flow.  She then put on her gorgeous Kitty Chen Couture gown from Loretta Bridal and set off to meet her groom.  Marc stood waiting for his bride wearing his tux from Alan David Custom Suits NYC, and when he turned to see Sam his reaction was incredibly sweet!  It was such a joy to capture their laughter and tears as they shared a private vow exchange before we explored the gardens together for portraits.  The wedding party and families joined us for photos before guests began to arrive.

Sam and Marc’s breathtaking ceremony began, and they exited all smiles to cheers from their family and friends.  Following social hour, guests gathered for dinner in the reception hall.  The space looked amazing with decor from The Party Girl Co. and florals by Floromancy Designs.  Everyone enjoyed dinner, speeches, and dessert, and the night came to a close with dancing with Curate Entertainment.  Sam and Marc, it was truly an honor to capture your wedding, and we wish you the very best in all the years ahead!
