Michaela + Sam | Coastal Sophisticated Wedding at Ancora Weddings
Michaela + Sam, a wedding so jam packed with amazing wedding inspo, we can’t believe we were able to squeeze it all into one real wedding feature. From the clifftop Lovers Rock ceremony location, to rock, paper, scissors, to impromptu bridal party dance breaks, the most dreamy beachside sunset photos and a sweetheart reception table (scroll to pics to see what this is!), there’s so much to love about Michaela + Sam’s dream day. Read on to find out more about this coastal sophisticated celebration.
The Wedding Style ~
“If I had to name our wedding style, I’d describe it as Coastal Sophisticated — a balance of elegance with a relaxed, seaside feel.”
Why Ancora ~
“We chose Ancora because the moment we walked in, we felt like it was “us.” I grew up on the river, so it gave us that beautiful, calming feeling while still being close enough for our beachside ceremony. It truly felt like the perfect blend of everything we love.”
The Best Part ~
“Definitely the food! We had a sweetheart table just for Sam and I, which gave us a rare, quiet moment to enjoy our first meal as a married couple — a special memory from such a busy, exciting day.”
Fave Dish on the Menu ~
“The standout on the menu was the halloumi, which was superb, and we couldn’t get enough of the fresh bread and meats.”
Share a Special Moment ~
“One of the most unforgettable moments from the day was our ceremony at Lovers Rock. As I walked down the aisle to the sound of violins, we had the most magical surprise — dolphins were jumping in the background. It felt like something out of a dream.”
