Moody Garden Romance | Hunter & Nicole’s Wedding at La Navona in Gahanna, Ohio

On October 22, 2023, Hunter and Nicole celebrated their love in the most beautifully intentional way — a moody garden-inspired wedding filled with warm fall tones, quiet moments, and an unforgettable atmosphere. Set at La Navona in Gahanna, Ohio, their day was romantic, refined, and full of heart.

Fall Beauty & Moody Vibes

The weather was that perfect in-between — crisp air, soft light, and golden autumn trees surrounding the venue. Nicole’s details set the tone: a stunning gown, rich florals, and deep, earthy tones paired with glowing candlelight and textured greenery. Hunter looked sharp and grounded, a perfect balance to the soft, emotional energy of the day.

La Navona’s blend of natural charm and modern elegance made the perfect canvas for their moody garden theme. With its exposed brick, warm lighting, and private courtyard, it felt like an intimate escape right in the heart of Gahanna.

Ceremony: Quiet, Intentional, Emotional

Their ceremony was deeply moving — the kind that makes you forget you're working. The way they looked at each other, the stillness between the words, the way the guests held their breath — every moment felt sacred. It was clear these two weren’t just getting married — they were choosing each other, fully and forever.

Portraits in the Garden

We stepped out into the venue’s garden area for portraits as the sky shifted into golden hour. Nicole’s train caught the breeze just right, and Hunter couldn’t take his eyes off her. Every shot felt like a page from a love letter — soft, cinematic, and full of connection.

A Celebration Full of Heart

The reception was glowing — literally. Warm candlelight, soft uplighting, and moody florals created a cozy, elevated atmosphere. Laughter echoed off the walls during toasts, the dance floor stayed busy all night, and their people showed up in full support of a love that’s real and rooted.
