The Vows

Every month, we celebrate a wedding that truly captures the spirit of love and joy. This month, we’re delighted to feature Camille and Cole, who celebrated their love with an elegant New Year’s Eve wedding. With a style that combined classic Old Hollywood glamor with lush, tropical elements, Camille and Cole’s wedding was a perfect way to ring in the new year and mark the beginning of their forever.

Reflecting on their most memorable moment, the couple shared:

“My favorite wedding day memory was our first look. It was such a special moment that I will remember forever. It was also so great to have that calm moment together ahead of all the festivities.”

When asked about the vendors who brought their vision to life, Camille said:

“This is such a hard question! Our photographer, Brandon and Shannon Dewitt had to be our favorite. Their energy was EVERYTHING. The most calming yet hype people and they made the whole experience feel so comfortable and relaxed. Sarah from Snapdragon Events was also so helpful in making sure the day executed perfectly. She is such a special person to have with you through the day!”

When asked what advice they’d give from the wedding planning journey, they shared:

“[Don’t] get too caught up in the fine details and just focus on the overall mood and energy you want to create for that day/night! Everything else will come together.”
