March 28, 2026

and Van had the most perfect spring wedding at Bellawood the Venue on March 14, and it truly felt like the kind of day every couple hopes for when they start planning their celebration. From the sweetest getting ready moments to their joyful bubble exit, every part of the day reflected their love, their faith, and the excitement they share for the future ahead.

The morning started with the girls getting ready together at the cutest little Airbnb in Brandon called The Pearl. Every detail there was thoughtfully designed and full of charm. It created the perfect space for a relaxed and joyful start to the day while everyone finished hair and makeup and soaked in the excitement.

Once everyone was ready, we headed over to the venue where the guys had already been having a great time that morning. After arriving, the girls slipped into their dresses and it was time for one of my favorite parts of the day. Hannah shared first looks with both her dad and Van. Watching Van’s face light up when he saw Hannah said everything you needed to know about how much he loves her.

We were able to take full advantage of the beautiful spring weather for portraits with the couple, their bridal party, and their families. The soft light and fresh seasonal colors made everything feel extra special and timeless.

The ceremony space was beautifully decorated by Willow Blu with delicate bud vases adorning the start of the aisle and stunning spring inspired florals placed along the altar area. The colors felt fresh and joyful and perfectly matched the season. Their ceremony was heartfelt and meaningful and reflected the strong faith and connection they share together.

After they said I do, everyone headed to the reception where the celebration continued with great music, plenty of delicious food, and lively tunes. One of my personal favorite aspects of the decor was the cake table. It had a stunning floral meadow surrounding the cake as well as florals along the staircase behind it. It was gorgeous. The evening ended with such a fun bubble exit that made the perfect send off for their new beginning together.

It was truly the perfect spring wedding at Bellawood and I am so thankful I was there to capture every moment. Congratulations Hannah and Van…Here’s a few of my favorites so far as I continue editing!
