Bella Collina Bridal Fashion Shoot | Orlando Wedding Photographers


Way back in early December, Brad and I teamed up with the fabulous Solutions Bridal of Winter Park to shoot some gorgeous images of a few of their spring gowns.  We were so excited to be shooting designs from Kenneth Pool, Badgley Mischka and Anne Barge.  Not only were the dresses to die for, but the location was insane.  Bella Collina sits just northwest of Orlando in Monte Verde, FL and offers a taste of the Tuscan countryside right here in Central Florida.  Brides, if you are looking for a truly unique location for your wedding, definitely check out Bella Collina.  There is beauty in every little nook and cranny of this venue.  Seriously, call us if you are getting married there.  We can’t wait to shoot a real wedding at this amazing property.

This shoot would not have been possible without the amazing team working with us.  Special thanks to Jillian Caro on hair & makeup.  Melanie Pace on styling.  The Solutions Bridal girls for providing the beautiful gowns accessories and assisting whenever needed and our amazing models, Melissa and Megan.  This was truly an amazing group to work with and if you are looking for the perfect wedding dress, exceptional hair and make up or help styling the a unique wedding to remember, do not hesitate to contact these ladies!  You girls were a dream to work with.  Thank you!

Here are a few of our favorites from the shoot.  We hope you enjoy!

This Kenneth Pool gown is so glamorous.  I loved how Melanie paired it with black fur and gloves to create an old Hollywood glamor.

I loved this adorable little tea length wedding gown from Anne Barge.  It can be sweet and sassy or amped up to have a rockstar appeal.  Nothing like a cute pair of Jimmy Choos to show off those legs!

I loved how these Jimmy Choo ankle boots gave the dress some edge.

This Badgley Mischka dress is so romantic and flowing.  It has such a soft elegance that I adore.
