Venue Spotlight: Bellerive Country Club
When I think of venues that make wedding days feel effortless and truly picturesque, Bellerive Country Club is always top of mind. It offers that perfect blend of classic country club refinement with a fresh, bright aesthetic that translates beautifully in photographs year-round. Iβve had the pleasure of photographing weddings here, and each time, I fall in love with the light, the layout, and the lush surroundings all over again.
Bright, Natural Light From Start to Finish
What sets Bellerive apart, in my opinion, is its light. Nearly every space in this venue is drenched in natural lightβfrom the gorgeous getting ready suite to the neutral-toned reception space with large, bright windows. For couples who care about soft, glowing portraits without needing to leave the property, this makes all the difference. It allows me to capture true-to-life, airy images in every stage of the day, and creates a relaxed experience for everyone involved.
A Patio Terrace Ceremony Space with a View
One of my favorite features at Bellerive is the patio terrace ceremony location. Itβs surrounded by mature trees and beautifully manicured greenery, and itβs the kind of setting that doesnβt need heavy decor to feel elevated. The space is wide open, allowing room for guests while still feeling intimate. It also offers peace of mindβno racing to beat traffic between locations, no added stress. Just a serene outdoor ceremony right where youβre already getting ready.
Reception Ready: Spacious, Elegant, and Versatile
The reception area is a true blank canvasβin the best way. The large, neutral space is enhanced by big, bright windows that let natural light pour in well into the evening. Whether youβre envisioning all-white florals, rich seasonal tones, or something ultra modern, this space will bring your design to life. There is so much flexibility to make the wedding your own with so many options under one roof.
Seamless Flow from Start to Finish
Bellerive makes it easy to host your full wedding day in one location. The getting ready suite is beautifully designedβbright, spacious, and functional for both hair and makeup teams and those candid, behind-the-scenes shots. After your ceremony, your guests can enjoy cocktail hour on the patio while we sneak away for golden hour portraits surrounded by greenery, mature trees, and wide-open skies.
Every time I shoot at Bellerive, Iβm reminded of how thoughtful venue selection can make a huge impact. If youβre looking for a venue that supports a seamless, light-filled day full of genuine moments and stunning visualsβyouβll find that and more here.
