As a wedding photographer, I have had the privilege of capturing many beautiful moments throughout my career. However, there is something truly special about a romantic garden wedding, and I recently had the opportunity to capture one at SoireEstate in Lutz, FL.
I first met the couple when Dan called me hoping to plan a proposal on Clearwater Beach. We detailed a plan where they would go on a beach walk and I’d be hanging out with my camera and then capture the moment he proposed. It was the sweetest! Fast forward to a year later, I felt honored to photograph their wedding and also be mentioned in the vows!
As I arrived at the SoireEstate, I was immediately struck by the beauty of the outdoor setting. The lush greenery and blooming flowers were the perfect backdrop for Dan and Sabrina’s big day. I could see that they had put a lot of thought into the details, from the elegant centerpieces to the beautiful floral arrangements.
I started the day by taking photos of Sabrina getting ready with her bridesmaids. As I snapped away, I could see that she was nervous but excited for the day ahead. Her dress was absolutely stunning, and I took great care in capturing the intricate details. Meanwhile, Dan was getting ready with his groomsmen, and I captured some great shots of them laughing and joking around.
As the ceremony approached, I could see the excitement building in both Dan and Sabrina. I positioned myself to get the perfect shot of the bride walking down the aisle, and the look on Dan’s face when he saw her was simply priceless. The ceremony was beautiful, with heartfelt vows and lots of tears of joy.
The reception was a wonderful celebration of their love. The entire crowd was on the dance floor and enjoying the mixed drinks at the outdoor bar.
As the night came to a close, I made sure to capture all of the special moments that Dan and Sabrina would cherish for a lifetime. From the emotional first look to the joyous last dance, I was honored to be a part of their journey together from the start to the wedding day!
