Dreamy, coastal, romantic.
This Vero Beach vintage-boho inspired wedding session combines all things I love! It was such an amazing experience to bring this amazing team together and host this shoot myself – I couldn’t be more pleased with the amazing images we were able to produce! Samantha and Anthony are our lovely bride & groom couple, and they are actually sweethearts in real life!
The Venue: Costa d’Este Resort & Spa
I love, love LOVE shooting weddings at Costa d’Este. I can’t tell you enough! Probably half my weddings per year are located there, of all sizes and cultures. As far as being an all-inclusive resort, you really can’t do any better! The ceremony is held right on the beach which makes it the best for those late-afternoon sunset weddings, and then the perfect patio area for hosting the cocktail hour. The resort itself is just drop-dead gorgeous, and the staff is beyond amazing. I can’t tell you as a wedding vendor how much I appreciate the venue staff being so accommodating of the other vendors during a wedding. They always make sure I have water, get a meal, and anything else I could ask for.
We chose Costa d’Este as our resort for this inspirational wedding shoot because of the diversity of the location. Their hotel suites are perfect for coastal bridal portraits and the beachy architecture of the hotel gives a ton to work with for bridal portraits. The inspiration behind this wedding was to capture a romantic, coastal feel and include as many local vendors as possible. Although we were nervous that the weather would turn for us, we ended up having a gorgeous day and absolutely PERFECT beach waves – what better backdrop could you even ask for, right?

Having read this I believed it was rather enlightening. I appreciate you taking the time and energy to put this information together. I once again find myself spending a significant amount of time both reading and commenting. But so what, it was still worth it!
What a great styled shoot! Always love bohemian style anything and everything! Awesome job!
I just love the “Goddess” by the Sea vibe you have going on here. Beautifully captured!
Thank you, Liz! 😍
I am loving this coastal theme! Such gorgeous inspiration for brides planning their wedding. You captured all of the details perfectly!
Oh my goodness I adore this shoot. I love that the details are coastal but not too obvious/typical. Everything is so elegant! Beautiful work!
Thanks so much Alyssa. Our stylist, Kathy, did such an amazing job setting up all the details. The team I worked with was fantastic!
what an amazing session! Great job everyone!
And this must be Vero Beach in Florida, right?
Yes!! If I could be in love with a town, consider Vero my soulmate! Haha!
That dress is totally perfect for a beachy, bohemian wedding! And I love the use of oyster shells. Beach weddings always make me want to travel, especially those perfect Florida waters!
Their invitation suite is so unique and reflective of their wedding day! You captured it beautifully. Seriously, perfect waves! If the beach actually looked like that when I go I might like it 😉
gosh all the details of this boho inspired beach wedding! Those invitations are just incredible! I love all the vibes of this relaxed couple! This would be an epic day in my books!
The invitations were from Minted! But next to the calligraphy from Wild Ivory and Co, they really shine!
Ahhhhh I am all about coastal design. I LOVE this wedding, how beautiful!!! The dresses are so stunning!
😃 Thank you!
