Any Wedding that takes place at Mia Bella Grand you can expect to be magical. The venue is incredible, the staff is amazing, and the lead Coordinator/Designer, Gail, is talented. But this wedding was even sweeter.
Sarah is so sweet, but her smile lights up a room. Of course, when we arrived, I couldn’t wait to see her and how beautiful she was; she was glowing.
If you haven’t seen the Bridal Suite at Mia Bella Grand, you are missing out; it looks like it is out of Vogue! Gail designed the entire upstairs with her bride’s needs in mind.
I was able to take the most beautiful photos of Sarah in the Bridal Suite; they ended up being my favorites of the day. You can see the excitement and joy on her face. She is one of the extraordinary women who don’t realize how beautiful she truly is.
Wyatt’s reaction to the first look was so unique. He tried to hold back tears, when he couldn’t, Sarah walked up and wiped the tears from his eyes. When I mentioned this wedding was special, it was because of Wyatt. He loves Sarah; you can see it in his eyes, his behaviors, and the way he treats her. Sara is everything to Wyatt, and it showed the entire day.
I can’t wait to see what the future holds for these two. I can only imagine how special it will be.
