A romantic destination wedding up do (aka pretty hair)

I just love this soft and romantic up do that I found on Pinterest this weekend. Very wedding, very polished and anything but overly structured.
You can find more great beauty tips just like this at The Beauty Department

I think I'll do a trial run myself next week!
Tip: Always do a trial run with your wedding stylists. Both hair and makeup. It'll mean you can be even that much more relaxed on your wedding day knowing that you and your stylist are on the same page.

Gabriela+Vincenzo=Amore | Italy Destination Wedding

Destination Wedding Photographer



A beautiful couple married in a beautiful setting! California bride Gabriela & B.C. groom Vincenzo chose a fifteen-hundred year-old village perched on a mountainside overlooking the Amalfi Coast as the location for their destination wedding. 


Centuries-old villas, minstrels playing music in the town square, the smell of lemon groves, and the azure blue of the Mediterranean...Ravello is as romantic as it sounds! Is it possible a wedding in Italy makes the couple even more in love? So it seemed as Gabriela and Vincenzo floated through their ceremony in the classic Duomo and their joyous outdoor reception at the luxurious Hotel Caruso.


Some of our favourites from G+V's Italy destination wedding.







Gabriela - elegant & beautiful!And check out those shoes!








One very happy groom.



Gabriela & Vincenzo have barely spent a day apart since they first met so it was only natural they would get ready together & enjoy some time together before the ceremony.



We loved shooting at the historic Villa Rufolo























Married!



Love the Italian tradition of a parade through the town after the ceremony to the reception!





Orchids & ribbons at the reception.






Chris' favourite.











My favourite!








Congratulations, Gabriela & Vincenzo!

Our last wedding of the summer! Liza and Todd and their guests came from St Louis to Naples to believe it or not- cool off! It was 10 degrees cooler here at Naples Beach on their July wedding day.

The weekend was amazing from the rehearsal dinner at the dock, to the welcome reception at Tavern on the bay, Golf at Tiburon at the Ritz Carlton Golf resort to finally the wedding at the beach resort. Enjoy this really cool highlight reel. We have; about 20 times!

Where do we even begin to express how grateful we are, to have been chosen for The Grand Wedding 2011? From the moment we were announced the winning couple, to our amazing Wedding Day, the entire experience was absolutely AMAZING! Each and every vendor involved, went above and beyond to ensure that the whole process was enjoyable, stress-free and FUN! Keith and I could have NEVER imagined that our special day would be SO perfect and involve every aspect to represent our unique relationship. From sushi being served at our Rehearsal Dinner, to our children being involved in the ceremony, you certainly took our desires and requests to heart making the entire event feel like a fairy tale.  We were relaxed and carefree throughout the experience and beyond!  The extra care you took and the time you spent on every detail was very evident as the day flowed smoothly.  Thank you for allowing us to personalize our wedding and for being flexible with our sentimental requests.  Even in our most extravagant dreams, we could not have imagined such a romantic and more perfect Wedding Day!  Thank you all so much for your passion and dedication in the wedding industry, we are telling everyone we know about each and every vendor and the wonderful service you all provided. You gave us the opportunity to blend our families into ONE and make it official. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to everyone that was involved with The Grand Wedding 2011.

Sincerely,

Keith & Christy Goodwin
