With sunlight streaming through the windows of Harborside Chapel, they stood hand in hand. Tears falling as they spoke their vows. Surrounded by love, faith and all their favorite faces, it was a ceremony filled with heartfelt emotion and a joy that set the tone for the rest of their incredible day. . .

Alex and Carolina are married! When we think back to this wedding day, the word that comes to mind is intentional. Every moment, every detail, and every interaction was rooted in faith, love, and thoughtfulness. From the heartfelt ceremony at Harborside Chapel to the lively reception at the dreamy SoireEstate in Lutz, this was a celebration we won’t soon forget.
Carolina stunned in not one, not two, but three gorgeous wedding gowns, each more breathtaking than the last. But what stood out even more than her impeccable style were the joyful hearts and deep love she and Alex shared for each other and their faith. One of the sweetest moments of the day happened before the ceremony when the couple exchanged gifts. While the bride unwrapped a cart full of cozy clothes for their chilly honeymoon (yes, you read that right—an entire cart!), the groom opened his gift with just as much excitement. Watching their reactions was such a delight and set the tone for a day full of surprises.
Their ceremony at Harborside Chapel was as sweet as it gets. Both the bride and groom shed tears during their self-written vows. Surrounded by their family and closest friends, they promised forever in a service that beautifully reflected their faith. After a whimsical bubble exit from the chapel, the couple made their grand exit in style, driving off in a sleek Porsche convertible.
Then came the reception at the breathtaking SoireEstate in Lutz, where the fun truly began. The venue’s gorgeous grounds were the perfect setting for celebrating this next chapter in their love story. The speeches from family and friends were the perfect blend of hilarious and heartfelt, with everyone sharing stories that had the room laughing one minute and wiping away tears the next. Later, the bride surprised her groom with a love song, and their beautifully choreographed first dance felt like something out of a fairytale. The glow of the string lights that filled the SoireEstate gave the whole evening such a dreamy romantic vibe. From faith-filled moments to fashion-forward choices, every detail of this day reflected this couple’s unique love story.
Alex and Carolina, thank you for inviting us to spend this day by your sides. You two truly have something special and documenting it was such a joy! We can’t wait to see what this next chapter holds for you both.
Love + Laughs,
Sarah + Ben
