Francesca and Justin traveled from the UK for their destination wedding with their closest friends and family. Francesca has always loved traveling to Florida and Hard Rock Hotel Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida is her favorite hotel to stay in. They knew when they got married they wanted an outside wedding and Hard Rock was the perfect choice!
The day started with getting ready at the hotel in separate rooms with all the fun rock n roll memorabilia around. Victoria from Just Marry was there to make sure everything was running smooth and the whole day went off without a beat missed, which is always the case with Victoria! And of course with Shannon from Faces by Shannon styling hair and makeup it was going to be absolute perfection. Justin was next door getting ready and I headed over to capture him opening up the sweet gift from his soon to be wife. Not only did she purchase him 2 pairs of socks with pictures of their doggie on them, but she also got him a custom designed watch to perfectly fit his personality. Of course Justin had a gift for Francesca and she was shocked to find diamond stud earrings when she opened the box. Francesca’s dress was just stunning and you defiantly don’t want to miss seeing Justin’s shoes! With everyone ready to go it was time to head over to the Butterfly Garden for their intimate ceremony with the always wonderful Kevin Knox from A Beautiful Ceremony officiating. The Butterfly Garden is one of the most beautiful outdoor locations for a wedding I have seen…and defiantly the most unique!! With the guests seated in a curly seating pattern is just adorable. Standing under the arbor covered in vines it looked like something right out of a movie. After the ceremony we took a few quick photos before heading into their lunch at the The Pantry. Each guest found their seat with their own unique Hard Rock pin. The cake brought in a few Disney elements with a Beauty and the Beast topper. Everyone was seated at a very long table together with Francesca and Justin at the head and the laughter and joy was contagious in the room. Congratulations to both of you and thank you for letting us be a part of your big day!!
