A Riverside Wedding at The Belvedere Bungalow



Okay, if you love old Florida charm, The Belvedere Bungalow is going to steal your heart. This 1920s craftsman bungalow sits right along the St. Lucie River in one of Stuart's oldest neighborhoods, and it's got that "step back in time" feeling the second you walk up — wraparound porch, vintage details, an old camphor tree out back, all of it!


What I love about shooting at the Belvedere is how much character is already built into the space. Chinoiserie wallpaper, a chandelier over the dining table, that gorgeous old porch — I barely have to do anything to make it look romantic. It just is.

Tammara and Chris's wedding was such a good reminder that a wedding doesn't need to be huge to be unforgettable. If you're picturing something intimate, historic, and full of charm — and you want it right here on the Treasure Coast — The Belvedere Bungalow should be at the top of your list.
