In January, I had the honor of attending a styled shoot by the insanely talented Heather Benge, of Styled Shoots Across America. When I saw Heather was hosting a shoot at Bella Collina in Orlando, Florida, just a short plane ride from Alabama, I knew I had to snag a ticket. Once the plane and hotel was booked, I started counting down the days!

Leading up to the travel date, I was checking the forecast obsessively. The verdict? 100% of rain in the forecast, a photographer’s worst nightmare.

A floral envelope liner adds so much romance to this elegant invitation suite.

The dramatic sleeve is a trend I hope is here to stay.

Bella Collina is one of Florida’s most desired venues. With the breathtaking views and rustic Italian design, it’s easy to see why.

The wedding cakes were one of my favorite details. The entire tablescape could have come straight out of the set of Bridgerton.

Many thanks to the following vendors for putting on such an amazing shoot! Even with a full day of rain, Heather and the vendors made it an amazing experience.
