real weddings

For Megan and Patrick, The Club at the Strand in Naples, Florida, was everything they had dreamed of and more. “I loved the ceremony site,” Megan explains “It was ideal, and I could picture myself walking down those grand stairs to meet my groom.” The outdoor setting was already beautiful (a stone courtyard with statuesque palm trees swaying in the distance), but added touches such as a curtained archway entrance, an aisle strewn with pink rose petals, and a stunning altar festooned in exquisite roses took the space to a whole other level. The couple’s sophisticated decorating scheme was complemented by their timeless color palette (white, pink and dove grey). Plus, elaborate details like lanterns and candelabra added to the romantic ambiance (especially at night when all the candles were lit!). Fortunately, photographer Maria Angela was on-hand to capture every single moment from the first kiss to the last dance.
