Isobel and Victor are the kind of couple that lovebirds everywhere can relate to. They found each other at the beginning of the pandemic and their first date was a socially distanced picnic. After falling in love, they decided to tie the knot and chose a ceremony venue that was small and intimate—Villa Zorayda Museum in St. Augustine, Florida! Of course, they had to find the perfect vendors to help them bring their vision to life, which is where Southern Palms Studio came in!

The Perfect Venue for Their Big Day: Villa Zorayda

Isobel and Victor wanted a venue that was grandiose yet still felt intimate. When they stumbled upon Villa Zorayda Museum, they knew it was the perfect spot for their wedding day. Located in St. Augustine, Florida, this Moorish-inspired castle has been standing since 1883 and is home to the truly remarkable collections of Franklin Smith and A.S. Mussallem, featuring antiquities that have withstood the test of time for thousands of years!

The Beginning of Their Love Story

As mentioned, Isobel and Victor met at the beginning of the pandemic when everything seemed uncertain. Despite all odds, their relationship flourished and grew over time until they ultimately decided to make a commitment to one another for life and enter into marriage. The couple has also fallen in love with exercising together, especially biking, culinary adventures, playing video games and hanging out with Tez, Leo and Meili, their puppy and kitties.
