Anna Karenina Inspired Wedding: A Styled Shoot

Russia on a cold winter day. Naples, Florida in the middle of Spring. What better way to bring these two opposite settings together than with a styled shoot, inspired by a classic Leo Tolstoy novel. A stunning lace dress, paired with our own vintage decor elements and a lovely outdoor backdrop, brought 19th century romance to life. We can hardly tear our eyes away!

Abbey & Mario: A Pop Of Color

There is nothing we love more at Along Came Stephanie than giving a couple a wedding that’s just as fun-loving and playful as they are. Abbey and Mario’s breathtaking wedding, held at The Club at Mediterra, featured eye-catching shades of blue and green, beautiful white bouquets courtesy of Isn’t She Lovely Florals, and a stunning bridal gown, designed by Maggie Sottero.

Sweet treats for every guest and some incomparable dance moves were just icing on the cake at this exciting affair!

Congratulations, Abbey & Mario!
