Sophia & Brad – July Wedding at the Rhododendron Gardens

Photography: Brandon Witzel Photography | Venue: Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden

Surrounded by the lush greens and winding paths of the Rhododendron Gardens, Sophia and Brad wanted florals that felt like they belonged there—natural, joyful, and garden-grown. The flowers were playful (much like the kids twirling through the reception), with one of our favorites making an appearance: vintage phlox. Tiny, delicate, and perfectly whimsical—like a miniature circus umbrella caught mid-twirl.
