Michelle & Maxx’s Luxury Wedding at Bellissimo Gardens at Tuscany

Michelle and Maxx’s wedding at Bellissimo Gardens at Tuscany was the perfect blend of elegance, personality, and heartfelt emotion. As two pilots in love, they incorporated subtle aviation details throughout their day, crafted in a way that still felt elevated, modern, and luxurious. Paired with lush orange and white florals, burnt orange satin bridesmaid dresses, and one of the most emotional first looks I’ve ever photographed, their wedding was an absolute dream from beginning to end.

Getting Ready in the Vintage Bridal Suite

The day began in Bellissimo Gardens’ charming vintage bridal suite. Michelle slipped into her stunning off-the-shoulder gown featuring a lace bodice and flowing tulle skirt, romantic, whimsical, and so perfectly her. I captured the sweetest getting ready moments with her mom and Maxx’s mom, who were both overflowing with pride and happy tears.

Meanwhile, Maxx got ready in his classic black tux, looking timeless and sharp, ready to marry his best friend.

A Tear-Filled Bridesmaid First Look

One of the biggest emotional highlights of the morning was Michelle’s first look with her bridesmaids. All the girls wore gorgeous burnt orange satin dresses that tied in beautifully with the warm, citrus-toned florals. As soon as they saw Michelle, they erupted into joyful screams and tears, all followed by the moms joining in for the sweetest group moment. It set the tone for a heartfelt and joy-filled day.
