Israel is such a magical place full of history and art and brimming with natural beauty. This elegant wedding took place on the shores of the Sea of Galilee. For their wedding, this couple wanted to incorporate a lot of personalization to really make the space and the day their own. From the custom carved invitations to the personalized chocolate wrappers, they thought of every detail.

Magdalena was the perfect venue for this luxurious formal wedding. Jacob Nweisser created purple and white floral arches that lined the aisle and were then transported to the reception for some added drama. In-between festivities, the couple adventured together around the city as Gione da Silva and Mark captured candid moments of them amongst the magnificent ancient architecture. You can see all of the photos from this wedding in the full gallery. Read on to hear more from the bride, Joanne about this beautiful day.
