Brevard Zoo Wedding | CJ + Jessica

A Brevard Zoo wedding is nothing ordinary.  CJ and Jessica wanted their wedding to have a vintage yet rustic feel to it.  The Nyami Nyami River Lodge at the Brevard Zoo was exactly that plus lots of natural charm and beauty.

The day starts with the bride getting ready at the Hilton Melbourne Beach Oceanfront.   Jessica wore a white, A-line gown with lace overlay that had a gorgeous rhinestone belt.  Her attendants are wearing  knee-length, blush pink, chiffon dresses and carry delicate bouquets of baby’s breath.  Her father’s reaction to seeing Jessica in her wedding gown was priceless!

CJ and Jessica have a classic Catholic ceremony at St. John the Evangelist Church.  We capture a few of their just married portraits at the church and then head to Brevard Zoo to take breathtaking photos among the lush greenery in the natural surroundings of the zoo.

Nyami Nyami River Lodge is stunning with its decorations of gold and blush ink details everywhere.  Each table has rustic flower boxes filled with hydrangeas, pink roses and baby’s breath.  Guests’ name cards are held by silver elephants.  Instead of a traditional guest book, a”Wishes for the Mr. & Mrs.” notepad is available for guests to leave a message for CJ and Jessica.  There’s also a photo booth for all to “strike a pose”.

Jessica and CJ end their night by having a private dance and then “Let Love Sparkle!” with a grand sparkler exit.
