As his bride walked toward him, Jonathan couldn’t hold back the tears. The moment had finally arrived when Lauren would become his wife, and the air was thick with joy and happy crying. There wasn’t a dry eye in the house. Even us photographers were wiping back tears as we captured the moment.

Lauren and Jonathan’s Bella Collina wedding was the first wedding Miguel and I had the privilege of photographing since this pandemic started. After 4 months of not being able to photograph weddings, we were truly thrilled to have this one as our first back. They happiness of these two was palpable the whole day long, and it’s days like these that make us fall in love with our job (and each other!) all over again. As a husband and wife team, we absolutely LOVE to be there for other couples as they embark on a new marriage!

Bella Collina weddings are some of my favorite because this venue is just to die for! Fun fact, I DESPERATELY wanted to have our reception here when Miguel and I got married (almost 7 years ago!!!), but it was too far from our church to make it work. But I digress. Isn’t the architecture amazing!? It’s like you’ve been transported out of Central Florida and straight to Tuscany.

Remember earlier when I said that Jonathan started crying as soon as his bride was visible? I wasn’t kidding! These are seriously some of the sweetest groom reaction images we have ever had the honor of capturing. Miguel’s reaction was similar on our wedding day, and it brought me right back to that moment.

Can we please take a moment to talk about how stunning Lauren looked!? Her dress was gorgeous and fit her perfectly. Not to mention that she’s a gorgeous girl to begin with. Jonathan is one lucky guy.
