Bay Preserve Wedding | Kelly & Matthew | Osprey, Florida Destination Wedding

Kelly & Matthew’s clean and classic nuptials took us to Bay Preserve just a few hours away. Bay Preserve is a beautiful community land preserve and a private oasis. Their tented reception with hints of blue and string lighting created the perfect ambiance to start celebrating their new life together.

Ritz Carlton Tiburon | Crystal & David | Naples Wedding Photographer

Crystal & David were married at the Ritz Carlton Golf Resort in Naples. We are so fortunate to have two Ritz Carlton’s in Naples and although this location is a little bit smaller, it isn’t any less wonderful. The ceremony was held on the Court of the Palms and the space was completely transformed by florals. It is a large area, but the Ritz worked really hard to arrange greenery and hedges among the large palm trees and make the space feel intimate and private. The added touches were in the extravagant floral arrangements that lined the aisles, arched the entry way flowed on the table behind Crystal & David.
