ALEXIS + AUSTIN’S WEDDING
A BRIDGERTON-INSPIRED ETRE FARMS WEDDING
There are some weddings that feel like stepping into another world — and Alexis and Austin’s wedding at Etre Farms was exactly that. Their entire day felt like something straight out of Bridgerton: soft spring colors, endless florals, glowing candlelight, and a love story that was so clearly at the center of it all.
From the moment the day began, there was such a beautiful sense of joy surrounding Alexis and Austin. Their wedding was filled with family, laughter, and the kind of genuine moments that remind me why I love being a wedding photographer so much. It was truly an honor to capture every piece of their day as they celebrated becoming Mr. & Mrs. Bell.
GETTING READY AT ETRE FAMRS
One of the things that makes Etre Farms such an incredible venue is how thoughtfully designed every space is. Alexis spent the morning getting ready surrounded by her bridesmaids, laughter echoing through the room as final touches were added and excitement continued to build.
Every detail of Alexis’s bridal look was absolutely stunning — from her elegant gown to the delicate accessories and beautiful florals that complemented the soft spring palette perfectly. The bridal details alone were enough to stop anyone in their tracks. The invitations, shoes, jewelry, and florals all worked together so effortlessly and set the tone for the entire wedding aesthetic.
A BRIDGERTON-INSPIRED COLOR PALETTE
If there’s one word to describe Alexis and Austin’s wedding design, it’s dreamy.
The entire day featured a stunning spring color palette that felt romantic, soft, and elegant all at once. Florals seemed to flow everywhere you looked, creating an atmosphere that felt lush and timeless. Candlelight flickered across the reception space, adding warmth and an unmistakable sense of romance.
The design team at Etre Farms did an incredible job bringing Alexis and Austin’s vision to life. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, and it truly felt like the entire space had been transformed into something magical.
A CELEBRATION FULL OF LOVE + LAUGHTER
What made Alexis and Austin’s wedding so special wasn’t just the beautiful design — it was the love that filled every moment of the day.
From heartfelt glances during their ceremony to the laughter shared with friends and family throughout the reception, it was clear just how deeply these two are loved. Their guests celebrated wholeheartedly, creating an atmosphere that felt joyful, warm, and unforgettable.
Watching the two of them interact throughout the day was such a reminder of what weddings are truly about — celebrating the start of a new chapter surrounded by the people who matter most.
RECEPTION DETAILS THAT WERE PURE PERFECTION
The reception space was truly a work of art. Candles glowed across the room, florals cascaded beautifully across the tables, and every design element came together to create a romantic and elegant atmosphere.
It was one of those receptions where you could walk through the room and discover beautiful details everywhere you looked — from the carefully designed tablescapes to the personal touches Alexis and Austin included throughout their celebration.
And of course, once the music started, the dance floor quickly filled with guests ready to celebrate the newlyweds.
A FAIRYTALE FAREWELL SEND OFF
Just before the evening wrapped up, Alexis & Austin had all their guests head outside for an epic farwell send off! Waiting for them- a vintage convertible VW Beatle Bug & their guests holding sparkles to light up the evening!
As they went around the circle drive with cheers, waves & sparks in the air, there couldn’t have been a more epic exit to a perfect day!
