Sunrise Wedding Il Bella Gardens | Charlotte, NC | Brianna + Carl

Brianna and Carl decided on a sunrise wedding in North Carolina at the forever gorgeous Il Bella Gardens. When we arrived at the venue it was still dark outside as Brianna was finishing up hair and makeup with the lovely Madison, of M Squared Style. These two wanted an intimate wedding with just close friends and family.  As guests began to arrive after their first look they headed down into the woods. It was a beautiful North Carolina morning, and with the sun peeking through the green leaves they said “I do”.

After saying their vows they had a little brunch reception with quiche and grits. Also, little sandwiches and of course adorable desserts. We love sunrise weddings and they are definitely a unique twist on the wedding day!

Enjoy all the love below!

How stunning is Brianna in her Martin Thornburg gown! Her dress is so elegant, with fine details and the daintiest lace flowers. This dress was the perfect style for Brianna and she looked like a goddess!

Their sweet exit with bubbles is adorable! Once Brianna and Carl changed into these vintage style outfits, with a picnic basket in hand, they lead each other out of the wedding! We love Brianna’s red, maxi exit dress too. It fit their style and this perfectly!

We love capturing a sunrise wedding and especially out at Il Bella Gardens! This venue is perfect at any time of the day and no matter what, the light is always lovely.
