The Bella Donna Chapel at Adriatica Village excites me every single time I walk through those doors. The moody, European-inspired architecture of this McKinney wedding venue creates the most romantic backdrop for the editorial-style wedding photography I adore. If you love dramatic light, old-world texture, and timeless elegance, this chapel has it.
The couple decided to have a courthouse wedding nearby and then surprised me by saying they had rented the Bella Donna chapel just to get perfect wedding portraits. Typically, when I photograph a full wedding at Adriatica Village, we’re balancing timelines to get to the reception on time, so we have create magic quickly and there are always photo opportunities that I wish we had time for.
Not this time! I finally got the creative time and space I've been wanting. We tried new ideas, played with dramatic lighting and ended up with an incredible variety of wedding portraits..... And these were just their sneak peeks.
