Blue and white porcelain details. Their pups as ring bearers (with bowties!). A garden-inspired ceremony under a sprawling tree. If you’re dreaming of a wedding that feels elegant, personal, and joy-filled from start to finish—Lauren & Ryan’s Bear’s Paw Country Club Naples wedding is exactly that.

These two have the sweetest kind of love story—the kind that starts with years of friendship before slowly turning into something more. Lauren and Ryan knew each other for years before they officially became a couple, and when they did? It just made sense. They’re both originally from the Midwest, but Naples has always been their favorite escape. So when it came time to say “I do,” it felt only right to bring everyone down to Florida for a weekend of sunshine, seafood, and celebration.

Lauren is a total planner (girl’s got vision and taste!)—but she also knew she wanted to be fully present on her wedding day. So she handed the reins to the dream team at CocoLuna Events and Tom Trovato Event Floral & Design, and they delivered. Their ceremony under one of the most beautiful trees on the Bear’s Paw Country Club property was surrounded by florals that felt like a blooming garden. Golden hour lit up the golf course perfectly—making it an absolute dream for any Naples wedding photographer—and their reception was next-level stunning. Seafood hors d’oeuvres, heartfelt toasts, and a dance floor that never emptied thanks to Tropics Entertainment.

Lauren & Ryan’s day was elegant, full of emotion, and an absolute party in all the right ways. If you’re planning a Naples country club wedding, looking for Bear’s Paw Country Club wedding photos, or searching for a South Florida wedding photographer—this is your sign.

Lauren & Ryan, you’re the best. Your love is intoxicating, and I am so honored to have played a small part in this chapter of your story.
