If you’re dreaming of a Bohemian Ranch wedding in Florida, Kori and Levi’s day will steal your heart. Set under a sprawling oak tree at Camp Retreats & Weddings, in Baker,Fl, their celebration blended Western charm, heartfelt family moments, and a whole lot of style. From emotional first looks to dancing in the rain, every part of their day was unforgettable.

How It All Started

Their story began with some light-hearted banter—Levi and Kori’s younger brother were rodeoing together and joking around when, without really meaning to, they ended up setting Kori and Levi up. And that offhand moment turned into something real.

An Unforgettable (and Stormy) Proposal

Levi had planned the perfect day—a trail ride on horseback followed by a riverside proposal. But that morning, his horse had to be rushed to the emergency vet. Determined to go ahead with the plan, they saddled up on Kori’s family’s (slightly wild) horses and rode down to the river. There, Levi got down on one knee.

For about five sweet minutes, it was everything he had imagined—until a thunderstorm struck out of nowhere. They had to jump on their horses and sprint across an open field in the middle of the storm. And somehow, it only made the moment more memorable. To top it off, Levi had secretly arranged for his family to come up to Tennessee and celebrate the engagement that weekend. ( Here’s a peak into their engagement session with me last fall!)

The Moments That Mattered

Some of the most emotional moments of the day happened long before the ceremony began. Kori shared a heartfelt first look with her brothers and her dad—both moments full of tears and warmth. She also began tearing up while her mom zipped up her dress.

Levi surprised her with a beautiful bohemian bracelet before the ceremony, a gift she hadn’t been expecting.

The ceremony itself included a special family prayer, a powerful reminder of what the day was truly about. Afterward, they branded a cowhide with both of their family ranch brands, blending tradition with symbolism in a way that was so uniquely them.

Bohemian Wedding Style + Setting

Kori and Levi’s wedding day was everything they wanted it to be—relaxed, meaningful, and full of the people who matter most. They were married beneath a towering oak tree, with wooden doors placed at the beginning of the aisle so they could share their first look as Kori walked toward him. The florals were boho-inspired, rich in texture and warmth.

Kori wore a stunning bohemian wedding gown from The Sentimentalist in Atlanta, designed by Daughters of Simone. It featured soft cap sleeves and effortlessly suited her personality. Levi’s outfit from The Copper Saddle included jeans, a crisp ivory coat, and a classic cowboy hat from American Hat Company.

Portraits with Personality

Kori and Levi’s portraits were such a highlight for me. I always love blending editorial direction with those in-between, unscripted moments—and these two gave me so much to work with.

Reception Under the Storm Clouds

When it came time to dance, Kori and Levi brought the party.

As a storm rolled in later that evening, they skipped a traditional send-off and instead ran through a tunnel of friends and family on the dance floor. So easygoing and joy-focused, Kori and Levi embraced the moment—and that impromptu dance tunnel turned into one of the most unique, unforgettable parts of the night.
