Gorgeous Wedding at Aquatopia in June was one for the books! Jenna and Chad’s wedding at Aquatopia Weddings and Events was honestly a dream! From the moment we first chatted, I just knew they were my kind of people—ready to party, loving every little detail, and totally committed to having the best day ever. And let me tell you, they did NOT disappoint! If you want to check out some other fun wedding’s we’ve captured at this amazing spot, check the blog.
Getting Ready: Champagne Popping and Poolside Laughs
We kicked things off poolside, popping champagne (which, hello, now I want a pool even more!). Jenna looked absolutely stunning in her dress from Revelle Bridal—it couldn’t have been more perfect for her. The morning was filled with tons of laughs, storytelling, and heartfelt moments with Jenna’s closest friends and family. And of course, we had our classic “real-life” moments: pulling out the vacuum and Swiffer for those last-minute details, because that’s just how we roll! I love capturing those authentic moments just as much as the picture-perfect ones.
All in the Details: Golf Meets Elegance
Jenna completely nailed the custom details. Her golf-themed “Par-tee” seating chart blended perfectly with the classy black-and-white, black-tie vibes. Every single detail was thoughtfully curated, from elegant signage to stylish menus. And let’s talk about that vintage record guest book—it was an absolute hit, adding a unique interactive experience for guests. It’s details like these that truly showcase Jenna and Chad’s playful and sophisticated style.
Dreamy Florals: Peonies and Garden Roses
I was literally giddy when Aquatopia’s floral team brought in the blooms. At first, the peonies were a bit shy, closed tight and mysterious. But, just in time for Jenna and Chad’s first look, they opened beautifully, pairing flawlessly with lush garden roses. The vibrant colors and heavenly fragrance created an absolutely dreamy setting—seriously, it was flower heaven! Capturing the excitement of Jenna seeing her bouquet fully bloomed was genuinely heartwarming.
Ceremony Magic: When a Floral Vase Takes a Tumble
The ceremony itself was pure magic, surrounded by Aquatopia’s lush greenery and serene beauty. The moment Jenna walked down the aisle was emotional, heartfelt, and full of happy tears. But the standout moment came right as Jenna and Chad shared their first kiss as husband and wife—a floral vase toppled over unexpectedly! Jenna’s surprised and amused reaction was priceless, making for an unforgettable, hilarious memory that perfectly captured their joyful spirits.
Gorgeous Wedding at Aquatopia – Speeches that Had Everyone Laughing and Crying
I loved that Jenna and Chad gave their welcome speech first—it totally allowed them to relax and fully enjoy dinner and the rest of the evening. Throughout the dinner, speeches from friends and family had everyone alternating between laughter and tears. Hearing stories of Jenna and Chad’s incredible journey together, their hard work, and their deep commitment to one another was truly inspiring and incredibly touching. These genuine moments truly highlighted how much love surrounded the couple on their big day.
Sunset Photos (Minus the Sunset, But Plus the Fun!)
So, the sunset decided to take a break that night, but honestly, we didn’t even miss it! Instead, we focused on capturing Jenna and Chad’s playful, genuine personalities in more relaxed, candid moments. The photos perfectly balanced beauty and fun, capturing the couple’s love and laughter. Gorgeous Wedding at Aquatopia and it’s always these spontaneous and joyful moments that become some of my absolute favourites!
The Evening Party: Second Outfits, Cannoli Cake, and Epic Beats
Jenna’s stunning second outfit was a showstopper, allowing her to fully embrace the fun of the evening celebration. The cannoli cake from Di Rienzo Bakery was incredibly delicious and such a unique touch—guests couldn’t stop raving about it! DJ Messem completely nailed it on the dance floor, mixing beats that kept everyone dancing well into the night. I especially appreciated his fresh approach to music selection—no repetitive wedding playlists here!
Connecting & Capturing Moments
Working alongside Angelika from Mom in a Flash Photography was an unexpected treat! It’s always a bonus when fellow wedding pros are part of the celebration. The camaraderie made capturing moments even more special, creating an easy and joyful working environment that translated beautifully in the photos and videos.
Thankful & Grateful
Honestly, days like Jenna and Chad’s wedding are why I do what I do. So much laughter, genuine joy, and amazing connections made this day truly unforgettable. Jenna and Chad, I’m beyond thankful you trusted us with capturing your memories. I genuinely hope we get to hang out again soon because one day with you both just wasn’t enough!
Final Thoughts
Jenna and Chad’s wedding was the absolute perfect blend of elegance, laughter, and genuine joy. Moments like these remind me exactly why I love my job—connecting with incredible people and capturing their special moments in ways they can cherish forever.
