Taylor and Joe’s wedding at Venue Bella Giornata felt like a spring garden party with a modern edge. Crisp white farmhouse buildings, black trim, open green lawns and white fences give the venue a fresh, airy feel, and everything about the day leaned into that light.

A Soft, Timeless Design

Taylor’s palette was white, dusty blue and fresh greenery, and it was carried through every detail with intention: an elegant invitation suite, ivory roses, calligraphy cards and simple, classic accessories.

Quiet Moments Before the Ceremony

The morning had a calm, unhurried feeling. Taylor’s first look with her dad on the porch was full of emotion, and a back-to-back first touch with Joe among the evergreens gave them a peaceful moment together before the day began.

A Garden Ceremony at Bella Giornata

Out on the lawn, white chairs, baby’s breath along the aisle and two lush pillars of white blooms made the ceremony feel romantic and light. Surrounded by their favorite people, Taylor and Joe said their vows, and the joy as they walked back up the aisle was contagious.

Just the Two of Them

The venue gave us so much variety for portraits: soft open fields, the clean white farmhouse and the bold black siding. And of course, their pup joined in.

A Reception Full of Light and Love

Inside, big windows filled the reception with natural light. Long tables dressed in white linens, dusty blue napkins and crossback chairs kept the design cohesive, and the night was pure celebration from the grand entrance to the last song.

Taylor and Joe, thank you for letting me be part of such a beautiful, joyful day.
