Ryan and Daniela
Rene and I had the honor to start our wedding season off by photographing Ryan and Daniela’s wedding at the Naples Grande Beach Resort.
The wedding was storybook perfect, with a perfect beach wedding and the kind of sunset that makes Naples the envy of the rest of the country!
Everything was held at the Naples Grande Beach Resort, which used to be the old Registry. Rene and I used to walk the boardwalk at the Registry when we were in high school. It’s a long and romantic walk all the way down to the beach. The Grande still has that boardwalk and it takes you to one of the best beaches in Naples.
The Naples Grande has become one of our favorite places to shoot. It has a wonderfully contemporary style and a modern attitude, which is frankly quite refreshing. Naples has long been overdue for a style makeover at many of its top venues and the Naples Grande has set the bar!
Daniela had the Grande design both her cake and her flowers. I’ve seen a lot of wedding cakes, but this cake was spectacular! It was a real work of art!
All the vendors for Daniela’s wedding really put on their very best, so I thought I would share some of them here:
- All floral decorations were created by the floral department at The Naples Grande
- Centerpieces: White Hydrangea, Dendrobium Orchids and Bear grass
- Bride’s bouquet: Phalaenopsis Cascading Orchids
- Girl’s bouquets: Dendrobium Orchids
- Music: Band from Orlando called Celebration, booked through JDR Productions in Naples
- Linens: Connie Duglin Linens
- Dress: Anjolique from Tie the Knot Bridal (Bride’s note: This store truly is the best for dresses, they have hundreds of dresses all priced between $1000 and $5000)
- Shoes: Grace from Tie the Knot
