Florida destination wedding – Palm Coast wedding photographer – www.evaphotostudio.com

We love destination weddings. Being in Florida we get our fair share of them. People love to come down to our beautiful state and have their wedding here. They then either continue their honeymoon here or use Florida as a launching pad to their honeymoon. We recently photographed a beautiful destination wedding for Joanna and Michael. They live in Memphis, Tennessee but drove down to Florida to have their wedding in the gorgeous Palm Coast area. The wedding was held in the scenic Washington Oaks Gardens State Park. The park is absolutely gorgeous and provided us with many incredible photo locations. There were bridges that spanned many little canals and small lakes. There were many tree covered foot paths, and beautiful garden areas. There was a rose garden with a wide variety of fragrant and colorful roses. Just past the rose garden, there were some fantastic views of the waterfront and an old home from the early 20th century. Joanna and Michael were blessed with some gorgeous Florida weather too. July in Florida can be sweltering but on this day, the temperatures were in the mid to low 80’s and the humidity levels were very low. It really felt like a nice autumn day instead of the middle of summer.

To complement the romantic natural setting, the couple had hired a harpist who played some very beautiful music for them to get married to and later to help entertain at their reception. After the ceremony and the formals, we drove a little less than 5 minutes to the beautiful Hammock Beach mansion that the family had rented for the reception and the rest of their Florida stay. Everyone enjoyed the delicious food and drinks that were served and the lovely music that the harpist played during the reception. The entire day and evening was magical and we are so happy to have shared it with this great couple. We wish Joanna and Michael a lifetime of married bliss!

Wedding Location: Washington Oaks Gardens State Park

Video – Bogota destination wedding – Bogota wedding photographer

Here is the video of all of our favorite images from the beautiful wedding of Juan David and Marcela. The wedding took place in Bogota, Colombia. We loved all of the gorgeous fresh flowers which decorated the entire venue. The chapel, the reception hall and pathways were all decorated in fresh flowers and it was magical. We love these type of destination weddings and can’t wait until we get another opportunity to photograph another amazing wedding like this one.

The beautiful bride (Marcela) is seen below in the moments prior to the ceremony.

International destination wedding – Bogota wedding photographer

The following are some of our favorite images from the pre-wedding and preparations for the recent destination wedding we photographed in Bogota, Colombia. We flew down early on Saturday and got a good nights sleep before arriving on Sunday to the ceremony/reception site. Juan David and Marcela arranged to have their ceremony and reception at the beautiful Hacienda Pozo Chico which is located about 30 minutes outside of Bogota. What an amazing location!!! The views of the surrounding mountains and countryside were stunning. The grounds were beautifully decorated with many gorgeous flowers and the entire place had a very sophisticated charm! As professional Tampa wedding photographers, we are used to photographing some of the best locations in Central Florida but it is always a treat to photograph at new and exciting international locations too!

As you will see, Marcela was such a beautiful bride and such a pleasure to work with. As an artist herself, she allowed us full freedom to photograph her wedding in our own style. We were given full access to the grounds and chapel. We are extremely grateful to Juan David and Marcela for allowing us to share in their special day and giving us the opportunity to capture the special moments of their beautiful wedding day for them to treasure for a lifetime. The entire wedding was incredibly beautiful and we can’t wait to post more pictures of the ceremony and reception soon.
