From Michael And Carina Photography... Brittany and Mike had their romantic Italian-inspired wedding at one of the most beautiful venues in Virginia, the Williamsburg Winery. Brittany was a vision of grace and elegance.

These two met many years ago in Italy and their love has been tried by years of living an ocean apart. At their first look, she took Mike’s breath away in the quiet courtyard of the Wedmore Place. With Irish and Hispanic roots, their family came from all over the world to celebrate with them and it was one of the most emotional weddings we have ever photographed.

Everything fit perfectly with the Italian-style reception where family time and good food went hand in hand. Brittany and Mike are soul mates and absolutely crazy about each other, it was an honor to to document their big day!

From the Bride... After meeting in Italy ten years ago, it felt natural to bring to life some elements from our past and the beginning of our love story. Italy will always hold an invaluable and endearing place in our hearts. We wanted the day the two of us became one, to be reflective of just that. Our wedding day brought us back to our beginnings – reminiscent of a budding friendship, romance, perseverance, and above all else, love.

The rustic winery venue, the simple outdoor ceremony, asymmetrical floral arrangements featuring dahlias and a plethora of greenery set the scene for a magical day! Everything from the setting to the Italian themed catering menu, allowed us to relive a little piece of our past. It was grounding, enchanting and full of laughter. Now, we continue to look forward to our future with hope and excitement - wherever that may lead us.
