Lindsey and Stephen make quite the beautiful case for a Venice elopement in these images captured by Allison Harp Photography. The couple decided on a trip across the world to celebrate their love, and they giggled, held hands, and embraced through the entire experience. Wanting to have some piece of their family there on the day, Lindsey wore her late grandmother’s fur cape over her Allure Bridals ballgown and tucked a photo of her Papa into her bouquet. The newlyweds were the talk of the streets as they exited Scuola Grande Dei Carmini, receiving congratulations in several languages from delighted strangers passing by.

Lindsey and Stephen
The Wedding:
Scuola Grande Dei Carmini, Venice, Italy

According to Stephen, every part of the day was memorable. We got to soak in the little moments that would often get swept up in the chaos of the day. Stephen struggled with tying his first bow tie, our first look was surrounded by people, and as we exited the church and walked through the streets of Venice we received countless congratulations in every language and applause around every corner. It seemed like the entire city was happy to see us so in love!
We wanted something timeless, memorable, and most of all effortless. In keeping with the theme of Venice, romance was key. His blue tuxedo really popped against the Venetian streets, and my dress fit seamlessly with the setting and temperature.

For us, the key to our ceremony was not losing sight...
