Discovering Love in the Forest

Bound by their shared Brazilian heritage, coupled with a love for nature, Marcus and Rafaela’s connection blossomed into a love that will stand the test of time.

A Simple Elopement Amidst the Forest’s Splendor 

For Marcus and Rafaela, simplicity was the cornerstone of their vision for their wedding day. They sought a celebration that honored their love and their cherished bond. The grandeur of tradition held little appeal for them; instead, they longed for a ceremony that echoed their intimate connection.

Preparing for Forever 

As the clock struck 12:30 PM, the forest came alive with the hustle and bustle of preparations. First, our team meticulously crafted a scene of simple elegance, setting the stage for Marcus and Rafaela’s union. Then, against the backdrop of swaying trees and dappled sunlight, Rafaela became a vision in white. Her bright pink peony Sola bouquet a bright pop against the white of her dress and dark of the forest. While Marcus, resplendent in a dark green suit, awaited his bride with a heart full of anticipation.

Marcus and Rafaela shared tender moments of preparation before meeting at the altar for their first look. She walked toward him, each fleeting second immortalized in photographs as the strains of Ivete Sangalo’s Completo filled the air. A poignant soundtrack to their love story. Finally, with Chuck their beloved pittbull by their side, Marcus and Rafaela exchanged their promises of forever.
