St. Rocco Catholic Church + Hotel Cleveland Wedding | Allie + Luca

Allie and Luca’s Amalfi Coast-inspired wedding was nothing short of spectacular. Their color pallet of bright blues and sunny yellows fit the feel of a late summer wedding and all of their beautiful details carried you away to a coastal town in Italy.  From the lemons sprinkled throughout the reception decor to the gorgeous wedding invitation suite that Allie designed,  there were hints of Italy everywhere! And with good reason! Luca’s family is from Italy and many of his family members had traveled all the way from their Italian villages to be there! Last summer, Luca and Allie had visited them in Italy and it was there, in St. Peter’s Square, that Luca had popped the question!

Their day began in the beautiful Hotel Cleveland, with its panoramic views and classy interior. Allie looked like a vision! Before heading to the church, Allie and Luca shared a tender first look in the hotel. We then went over to St. Rocco’s Parish, a historic Catholic Church with Italian heritage.  This church was stunning and their musicians filled the church with traditional sacred music. It was a joy to witness these two be ministers of the sacrament of Matrimony and become husband and wife.

After Mass we headed to the The Cleveland Museum of Art and the Italian Cultural Gardens for portraits and then it was time for their reception! We ended the day where we began, Hotel Cleveland. The details in their ballroom, which Allie had meticulously planned, were phenomenal.  Each of the guests had handwritten letters from the couple and it led them to their table which were each named after a different village in Italy.  It was a beautiful evening full of joy, love and a surprise flash mob dance featuring Allie and her cheer team friends!

Allie and Luca, what a joy it has been to be your photographers.  We hope you are having a blast on your honeymoon and we pray that these photos bring you back to your sacred day. God bless you both!

xoxo,
