Gabe and Elizabeth in the Phoebe Gown
An intimate Italian wedding on the Gulf of Naples. Elizabeth says ‘I do’ in Phoebe, a dress that felt like her from the moment she put it on.
Love on the Trails
For Elizabeth and her groom, love has always been wholehearted and intentional. They met on the mountains, where their shared love of hiking became the beginning of their story. What started as individual passion became a shared pursuit, the very thing that brought them together. “Every day is an adventure together as we pursue the sweet life God has made for us,” Elizabeth says.
The proposal, unsurprisingly, took place on a mountain. “Very on brand for us,” says Elizabeth. They returned to the same spot where they shared their first kiss at sunset, only this time, Gabe got down on one knee, almost literally off the edge of the cliff. “His back foot was actually hanging off,” she says. Afterwards, they celebrated with a small gathering at a nearby lodge, which was warm, personal, and perfectly low-key. “It felt simple and true to us.”
A Coastal Destination Wedding in Italy
The wedding took place in a quiet coastal town on the Gulf of Naples, where the backdrop was Mount Vesuvius, and the guest list held just twenty names. “Every detail was intentional and filled with love, as our friends local to the Italian town poured their heart and soul into the day,” she shares.
When asked about a favourite moment, Elizabeth admits, “How can I choose! But saying our vows with Vesuvius behind us was an amazing highlight. Holding Gabe’s hands on the coast of Italy is a feeling I will never forget.” There were tears, naturally, and not a dry eye in the villa, just an overwhelming sense of love.
Phoebe, the Perfect Fit
The bride describes Phoebe in two words: simple and beautiful, the same words she’d use to sum up the entire wedding. The gown fit perfectly. “I put it on and immediately felt like me! I felt confident, beautiful, and truly bridal.” But the moment that truly sealed it was her mother’s tears, followed by her best friend’s. “That’s when I knew,” she says, “this was it.” Later, Elizabeth added a scarf for the reception, a last-minute touch that turned out to be the perfect complement. “I was obsessed with how it all worked out,” she shares.
