“A rustic barn wedding at Misty Morning Barn in Fort Myers, Florida — Kelli and Bradley's intimate celebration with their 16-person bridal party and closest family, after eloping in California's Anza-Borrego Desert.”
Some couples get married once. Kelli and Bradley decided to do it their way — twice. After an intimate elopement in California's Anza-Borrego Desert State Park in October 2023, the couple flew back east to gather their closest family and friends for a celebration at one of Southwest Florida's most charming venues. On December 29th, just days before ringing in the new year, Misty Morning Barn in Fort Myers came alive with warmth, laughter, and a whole lot of love.
Kelli and Bradley's story is one that resonates with so many modern couples. They wanted an intimate, personal moment for themselves — and they found it in the stark, beautiful landscape of Anza-Borrego. But they also wanted something bigger. A night where their families could come together, where their people could celebrate alongside them. So they came home to Florida and threw a party worth remembering.
There's a growing trend of couples choosing to elope first and celebrate later, and honestly, it might be the best of both worlds. You get the quiet, meaningful ceremony on your own terms, and then you get the night with the people who shaped your life.
Misty Morning Barn — Old Florida at Its Finest
Tucked away on 32 private acres in Fort Myers, Misty Morning Barn is the kind of venue that stops you in your tracks. The weathered wood exterior of the barn sits framed by cypress trees, palms, and Spanish moss — a landscape that feels untouched and deeply Floridian. Inside, soaring timber beams and iron chandeliers create the kind of atmosphere that photographs don't quite do justice. Light pours through the slatted walls during golden hour, and the whole space feels like it was built to hold celebrations exactly like this one.
What makes this venue special isn't just the barn itself — it's the property surrounding it. Tranquil ponds, mature oaks, and pockets of dense Florida greenery create dozens of backdrops without ever leaving the grounds. For a photographer, it's a dream. For a couple, it's the kind of setting that makes the entire day feel like an escape.
“Kelli and Bradley proved that you don't have to choose between intimate and unforgettable.”
