There’s something timeless about a spring wedding in Ocala, Florida — especially when it’s hosted at a venue as beautiful as The Colonial at Sunset. Meadow and Christian’s wedding was nothing short of a dream, filled with elegant details, heartfelt moments, and the kind of love that lights up a room.
As a wedding photographer, I’m fortunate to witness many beautiful love stories, and Meadow and Christian’s day was a heartfelt celebration that I’ll remember for years to come.
Soft Spring Colors: White & Powder Blue Perfection
Meadow chose a soft and romantic color palette of white and powder blue that set the tone for a classic spring wedding. Her bridesmaids wore mismatched powder blue gowns in a variety of flattering styles, adding personality and cohesion all at once. Each bridesmaid carried a crisp white bouquet that popped beautifully against the soft blue hues.
But it was Meadow’s bouquet that stole the show — a delicate and meaningful arrangement of Lily of the Valley, chosen for its symbolism and timeless elegance. It was the perfect floral touch to complement her graceful presence.
A Venue Full of Southern Charm
Set in the heart of Ocala, The Colonial at Sunset is a venue that blends elegance with relaxed Southern charm. Meadow and Christian exchanged vows outdoors beneath a canopy of mature trees, bathed in the golden glow of springtime sunshine. It was an intimate, emotional ceremony filled with laughter, heartfelt promises, and the support of close family and friends.
A Sentimental Surprise: A Bride, A Car, A Childhood Memory
One of the most touching moments of the day involved a surprise for Meadow’s father. Growing up, she had always adored his vintage car — a classic symbol of family memories. On her wedding day, Meadow recreated a childhood photo beside the same car, now in her wedding gown. This recreated image will become a heartfelt gift to her dad, capturing a full-circle moment that beautifully bridged past and present.
Of course, we also took time for romantic portraits of Meadow and Christian by the car — those little details that make a wedding album deeply personal.
