An Unforgettable Evening at Hope-Wellness Eco-Resort

Last evening, I had the pleasure of photographing an incredible wedding showcase hosted by PuraBellezza Design at the beautiful Hope-Wellness Eco-Resort. It was an abnormally warm evening for this time of year, with clear skies that treated us to a stunning sunset behind the trees, painting the sky in soft cotton candy hues over the Petitcodiac River. The serene setting of the resort provided the perfect backdrop for the event, making it easy to envision how magical a wedding or elopement could be here. Whether you’re planning a larger celebration at the resort’s stage or an intimate ceremony inside their charming greenhouse or tent, this venue is a hidden gem.

PuraBellezza Design showcased two distinct set-ups, both breathtaking in their own way. The first was a simple yet elegant all-white design set in a pristine white tent near the spa's main grounds. This classic look complemented the natural beauty of the surroundings, blending seamlessly with the soft, peaceful landscape. The second design was a boho fall-inspired set inside the resort’s cozy greenhouse. Warm, intimate, and inviting, this setup created a perfectly romantic atmosphere for couples seeking a more laid-back yet stylish wedding vibe.

DJ Markoish set the mood with music that enhanced the relaxed yet refined energy of the event. Pat Fillmore Photography captured stunning aerial shots with his drone, giving a unique perspective of the venue, while Matt Cousineau and I worked together to photograph every detail—from the gorgeous decor to the talented vendors who helped make the evening a success.

It was an honor to meet so many wonderful people, and to see how effortlessly the Hope-Wellness Eco-Resort could transform for any type of wedding. I couldn’t help but imagine the endless possibilities for couples looking to create a truly unforgettable day here.

If you’re searching for a wedding venue that merges natural beauty with customizable elegance, this is it.
