Kelsey and Joel’s wedding at The Lakeside Ranches in Inverness, Florida was the perfect blend of rustic charm and elegant romance. Set beneath the sweeping limbs of a Spanish oak tree, their lakeside ceremony felt straight out of a storybook. The soft breeze off the water, the golden light, and the stunning natural backdrop created a setting as heartfelt as their vows.
Joel looked effortlessly refined in his off-white, khaki-toned suit paired with a deep teal tie that complemented the bridesmaids’ dresses beautifully. One of the most striking moments of the day came during their portraits—when the couple posed with an elegant black horse, adding a touch of drama and timeless beauty to their gallery. From start to finish, Kelsey and Joel’s day was filled with meaningful moments, breathtaking views, and undeniable love.
The Proposal
We were engaged on November 9, 2021 at Cantina Laredo in Wesley Chapel, where we had our first dinner date. The initial plan was to get engaged during a trip to Lake Tahoe but the trip got canceled due to the fires out west. Joel made plans to go to Cantina Laredo for dinner since we haven’t been there for a while. Joel made a reservation for that night which I thought was weird because I did not think it would be busy on a Tuesday night. As we get to our table, I turned around and Joel was on his knee about to propose. The proposal was a total surprise and it was amazing. It was the perfect proposal and a day that I will never forget.
Wedding Day Vision
The colors are going to be an ink blue, green, and ivory/white. We would like a nice, relaxed, fun wedding. No themes. We would like for the photos and atmosphere to reflect our relationship.
