Many people search for the perfect destination beach wedding. No two beach front ceremonies are the same. I recently enjoyed capturing Kate and Phillip’s Grecian Themed day at the stunning Sale e Pepe Wedding Venue in Marco Island, Florida. Overlooking the Gulf of Mexico, this venue is an idyllic spot for couples seeking an elegant setting for their big day. Marco Beach Ocean Suites served as the beach front ceremony space and was truly the perfect spot for this event.

The Venue: A Perfect Blend of Elegance and Beauty

Sale e Pepe is an Italian restaurant venue with stunning art and architecture. The venue’s entrance featuring grand pillars sets the tone for an elegant affair. Inside, the chic bar adds a touch of sophistication and charm, creating a perfect backdrop for capturing wedding moments. However, the true gem of this Marco Island beach resort is the stunning backdrop for the ceremony and an unforgettable experience for guests. The decor that the venue offers fit perfectly with the fun Greek vibes the couple chose.

A Grecian-Themed Celebration

The couple’s wedding theme was inspired by the classic beauty of Grecian decor, with vibrant pink and blue hues contrasting elegantly with timeless white elements. This theme was perfectly complemented by the venue’s architectural beauty and stunning views of the Gulf. As a South Florida wedding photographer, capturing these intricate details was a joy. Because each wave is different from the last – any beach front session comes with such uniqueness. The couple wanted to make sure to capture the love and excitement of their guests. Each photo showed how supported the couple was by those who care for them most. Kate and Phillip will be able to cherish these photographs and memories forever.

The Couple’s Favorite: Beach Wedding Vibes

Kate and Phillip knew they wanted to compliment the view that Sale e Pepe offers with old-school Grecian vibes. Not only did Marco Island’s views of the Gulf of Mexico provide a breathtaking backdrop, but each moment looked like a scene from a romantic movie. The intimate and romantic atmosphere perfectly matched the couple’s vision for their special day.

Beach Front Breezes

Despite a heat advisory on the wedding day, the celebration was nothing short of spectacular. The bride’s main wish was for her guests to enjoy their time at the beach and the venue. She also looked forward to having her stunning dress admired by all. The heat of the day added a touch of warmth to the already heartfelt celebrations. Although it was hot, the guests enjoyed the beauty of the surroundings and the joyful atmosphere, making the day truly unforgettable. The pro of a beach wedding is the refreshing breeze that blows in off of the ocean – even on the hottest days.
