Bellissimo is a manicured garden wedding fifteen minutes from downtown Salt Lake, but it photographs like somewhere much farther away. Boxwood hedges, a stone gazebo, climbing roses, and the Wasatch rising straight out of the back of the property. The light comes late and warm against the mountain, which is the hour we build the couple's portraits around.
We shoot Bellissimo as a garden-first day: details and getting-ready first, then portraits worked through every alley and arbor on the grounds, the ceremony at the gazebo, and a reception that slides into golden hour with Olympus going pink behind the tables. The greens are saturated by design, so our edit stays honest and lets the garden carry the color.
