Wedding | The Cooper Estate | Laura + John Michael

Wedding
Written By Santy Martinez

Laura and John Michael's romantic wedding was surely a sight to be seen! It was a perfect day at the Cooper Estate with an abundance of golden sunshine and filled to the brim with love. Ivy Indigo Events did an amazing job with this wedding.

Laura looked absolutely gorgeous with her look (hair by Visions by Daili and makeup by The Glaminator) and John Michael looked pretty sharp as well.

The grotto ceremony makes this venue among the top of our favorite list with that glorious backdrop. The wedding ceremony was a beautiful exchange of vows officiated by Mario from Tie the Knot Miami. Since they opted for no first look, we whisked them away afterward for private portraits in the most perfect light imaginable. The two are truly stunning, but their connection with each other makes them even more fun to photograph!

Their reception space was equally amazing and beautifully adorned with flowers by Nevot Flower Design and a yummy looking cake by Unique Designer's Cake. It was so special! Surrounded by friends and family, these two danced the night away with help from their Event Factor DJ!

We wish them a lifetime of love and happiness. Please enjoy some of our favorite highlights from their big day. Contact us to learn more about how we can capture yours too!
