Victoria + Joseph’s Wedding at The Ritz-Carlton, Naples
Their wedding day at The Ritz-Carlton, Naples was effortless and completely them, quiet, classic, and full of heart. Victoria & Joseph aren’t flashy, they’re the couple who would rather keep things simple, elegant, and full of the people they love. So it made total sense that their Ritz-Carlton Naples wedding leaned classic and timeless instead of over the top, with clean styling, soft details, and just enough glam to make the day feel special.
Some couples find each other in the most unexpected ways, and Victoria & Joseph? They’re proof of it. Victoria had just moved to Naples with her family when Joseph swiped into her life on a dating app, of all things, while he happened to be in town on a work trip. What started as a chance match turned into a whole new life together, built right here in the city that brought them together.
The day started with Naples Makeup Artistry getting Victoria camera ready before she stepped into her Elie Saab gown paired with Tiffany and Cartier jewelry. Victoria & Joseph did a first look ahead of the ceremony, which meant they got to spend their entire cocktail hour actually enjoying it. We used that window instead to wander the property for portraits, and there is no shortage of gorgeous backdrops at The Ritz-Carlton, from the architecture to the beach. Their intimate ceremony took place outdoors in the courtyard, officiated by Mary Gehr of Coastal Pointe Weddings, surrounded by both of their families and friends who traveled in for their destination wedding in Florida.
Focus Floral brought in soft, romantic arrangements that complemented Victoria & Joseph’s classic style perfectly, and Foreman Productions kept the dance floor full all night long. The Ritz-Carlton’s team handled coordination, catering, and cake, complete with a custom cake topper of the two of them, and every bit of it was top notch. Bella Figura’s invitations set the tone for the whole day before it even started, and IHeart Films captured it all on video right alongside me. It was polished, it was classic, and it was so completely Victoria & Joseph.
