A Spring Wedding at Bella Cosa, Florida
Darienne & Jake’s Elegant Spring Wedding at Bella Cosa
Darienne and Jake’s wedding at Bella Cosa in Lake Wales, Florida, was the definition of an elegant spring wedding. As their wedding photographer, I loved capturing every peaceful, joy-filled moment of their day.
They both got ready on the Bella Cosa property – Darienne with her mom and sisters, and Jake with his dad and groomsmen. One of the sweetest moments was Jake’s first look with his mom- she teared up seeing her son ready to marry the love of his life, and it was such a genuine, tender moment.
Darienne shared a first look with her bridesmaids (they were so so excited!!), then with her dad (cue all the tears), and finally with Jake. Their first look felt so calming – like as soon as they saw each other, everything made sense and all the nerves took a break.
We explored the Bella Cosa grounds for their portraits, capturing the elegance of the venue’s architecture, waterfront, and gardens. They even had a friend’s vintage car there (!!), adding such a timeless, classy vibe to their gallery!
Why Bella Cosa is the Perfect Florida Wedding Venue
If you’re dreaming of an elegant wedding in Florida, Bella Cosa in Lake Wales is such a beautiful choice. With its stunning waterfront views, Spanish architecture, and gorgeous gardens, it creates the perfect backdrop for timeless wedding photos.
Their reception was FULL of surprises and so much celebration! At one point, Darienne changed into her grandma’s wedding dress to surprise her grandparents and danced with two of her grandpas – it was such a meaningful moment, and there wasn’t a dry eye in the room. Later, she changed into a short cocktail dress to dance the night away!! Her mom and some friends even surprised her by coming out in matching outfits and performing to “Dancing Queen,” and everyone was obsessed!
Darienne and Jake’s wedding was filled with genuine moments, happy tears, and so much joy. I’m so grateful I got to capture these memories for them!
