Some people throw a wedding. Christina & Andrew threw a full-blown experience and the party of all parties. From the moment they told me about their vision, I knew this was going to be epic. They’re the kind of couple who collect friends—180+ people flew to Naples just to celebrate them. Their The Club at the Strand wedding was equal parts glam and nonstop fun, and honestly, I didn’t expect anything less.
They kicked off the day with their crew—Christina got ready at her parents’ house, while Andrew and his groomsmen hit the golf simulator at The Club at the Strand (because, of course). The ceremony at St. William Catholic Church was absolutely stunning, and then it was off to The Club at the Strand for the party of the year.
Let’s talk about that entrance. These two skipped the whole “wait until after dinner” vibe and came down the grand staircase with a live sax player fromGood Musicians Live—instantly turning the reception into a dance party before the salads even hit the table. Something Borrowed SWFL nailed the florals, making the ballroom feel like a dream, and Peace Love & Little Donuts kept the sugar rush going all night.
Between Revered Films capturing every moment on video and Brittany Bekas Photography (hi, it’s me!) snapping the magic, every second of their The Club at the Strand wedding was pure gold. Christina stunned in Atelier Beccar from Palm Bridal, and Andrew looked sharp in The Black Tux—but let’s be real, the real star of the night was that packed dance floor.
Christina & Andrew, you absolutely understood the assignment. This day was legendary, and I feel so lucky I got to capture it all. Now, who’s ready to relive it?!
