Paula and Jamie’s wedding at WinterClub Venue Villa Tuscany in Winter Park, Florida was the perfect blend of elegance and rustic charm. With a soft, romantic palette of dusty rose and navy, their day felt timeless and full of heart. The lush courtyard made for a stunning ceremony backdrop, and the ornate wooden gate and villa-style iron staircase added layers of beauty to their newlywed portraits. From the quiet garden moments to the joyful energy of the reception indoors, every part of their celebration was thoughtfully curated. The night ended under the glow of string lights with a few dreamy nighttime portraits—an unforgettable finish to a truly beautiful day.
The Proposal
For the proposal it happened in Costa Rica in Feb 2021. Jamie was planning a trip for just the two of us, but some of his family had asked to come along on the adventure. At the time I had no idea he would propose, he had told his family, and they kept it a secret. We stayed at a nice resort and went out on activities every day. One of the activities Jamie had planned was a hike up to the side of a volcano; In the national park around the volcano was an old lava field with runoff that had hardened over. We went with Jamie’s brother who was secretly tasked with taking a video of the proposal. We climbed up and across the rocky field to get to see the entire landscape. Jamie had asked me to stand on an inclined spot to take some pictures, so while I was taking a panorama he signaled to his brother, and then got on one knee behind me, called my name and waited until I turned around. When I turned around, I saw the ring and him on one knee. He said, “Will you marry me?” and I was completely surprised! The funny part about it was I thought I said yes, but instead I just said, “Are you sure?!?” and kept repeating that with some general excitement. Eventually he asked me if that was a yes to which I exclaimed: “I did say yes!!?” and we bickered about it until I saw the video and I had indeed not said yes.
