Drew and Michael’s wedding at Cross Creek Ranch in Dover, Florida, was the ultimate blend of elegance and whimsical romance. Set against the lush, thoughtfully manicured grounds of this iconic venue, their day unfolded in the most breathtaking way. Guided by a vision of a true floral wonderland, every detail felt light, dreamy, and perfectly spring like. The bridesmaids wore soft pastel sage dresses that paired seamlessly with lush florals in shades of peach, ivory, blue, and fresh greenery. Michael looked completely timeless in a crisp black tux as the couple exchanged vows with their favorite people looking on.

High School Sweethearts in Japan

My sweet couple's love story began halfway across the world in Japan during high school, where Drew was a senior and Michael was a junior in Japanese class. Spotting how much they had in common, Michael kept making conversation until a budding romance quickly followed. Over a decade together, they have built a deep connection filled with patience and balance, with Michael lovingly describing Drew as his "beautiful chaos" and Drew admiring his incredible mind.

To celebrate their milestone ten year anniversary, the two took a trip back to Japan for a ten day getaway. On their exact anniversary date, Michael brought Drew to a quiet garden and popped the question, turning a sentimental location into the start of their next chapter together.

Romantic Greenhouse Portraits & Cross Creek Ranch Celebration

Following their outdoor ceremony, we explored the property to capture newlywed portraits as the golden sunlight poured through the trees. Cross Creek Ranch offers endless stunning backdrops, but our absolute favorite photo location was near the iconic white greenhouse. Surrounded by lush greenery and delicate glass details, the happy couple shared quiet moments together away from the rush of the day.

The evening transitioned into a vibrant reception filled with joyous toasts, delicious food, and a packed dance floor as family and friends came together to celebrate.
