Jodie + Brad | Wedding Weekend on Yacht + Players Club + The Maddox
Jodie and Brad’s wedding weekend in Naples was one for the books. These two are the absolute sweetest, and after photographing their engagement session, I was SO excited to be there for the next chapter. And yes, I’ll be photographing their maternity session later this year too. How lucky am I?!
October in Naples showed off for these two. The weather was perfect. The skies were blue. And the whole weekend had that laid-back Florida feeling that makes you never want to leave.
Wedding Weekend on a Yacht:Welcome Party to Kick Things Off
The weekend started with a welcome party and rehearsal dinner aboard Naples Princess Cruises.
The dress code was all white and neutrals, and everyone understood the assignment.
Jodie wore a gorgeous fitted white gown and Brad had a classic look in a crisp white shirt and light-colored pants. Their guests followed suit, creating the prettiest neutral palette against the blue water.
We cruised along the coast, sipped cocktails, and soaked up every second of that Florida sunshine. Basically, the perfect way to kick off a wedding weekend.
Saying “I Do” at The Players Club
The next day, Jodie and Brad tied the knot at The Players Club in Naples.
Their ceremony was classic and timeless. Jodie wore a beautiful white gown with a long veil, while Brad looked sharp in a black tux. The ceremony took place outside beneath the palms, with their closest friends and family gathered around them.
And then came one of my favorite moments of the entire weekend.
They hopped into his dad’s vintage Bentley convertible and drove off together as newlyweds.
I mean. Come on. How fun is that!?
What a way to enjoy your wedding weekend??
From there, the celebration continued at The Maddox, a popular Naples restaurant owned by a friend of Jodie’s family.
And this was extra special because it was the first-ever wedding reception at The Maddox!
The space had such a cool, modern Florida feel. Palm trees, lush greenery, beautiful florals, and plenty of room for everyone to celebrate.
A few highlights from their wedding weekend, day two:
Gorgeous white and blue florals
A beautiful outdoor cocktail hour
A packed dance floor
A seriously fun group of friends and family
Late-night pizza because obviously!!
And their friends knew how to party!!
The Kind of Wedding Weekend You Remember
By the end of the night, there were sparklers, glow sticks, lots of dancing, and approximately zero people sitting down.
Jodie and Brad, thank you for letting me document another chapter of your story. From your beach engagement session to your wedding weekend and now your upcoming maternity session, it has been so much fun watching your love story unfold.
