Deeana and Andrew approached their intimate Miami beach wedding exactly the way that I wish everyone did. Whether it be traditional or not, my hope for everyone is that they celebrate this commitment in a way that is truly in line with their unique personal philosophies as a couple. It's different for everyone, but for them, it only mattered that they were somewhere beautiful, somewhere that held meaning to their story and relationship, and surrounded by the closest family members. They managed to check all of those boxes and I was honored to be asked to document it for them!

Believe it not, it was some what of a "pop-up wedding".... in that everyone arrived at the beach without a specific location in mind for the ceremony. In the end, I think we found the perfect spot nestled between the palms and hidden away from the beach goers. Remarkable considering the awesome homemade arbor had to be assembled on the spot just minutes before the vows! 

What I enjoyed most is that they prioritized the schedule and left plenty of time for quiet moments alone throughout the day. I'm sure this helped to solidify their memories as they had ample time to soak up the surroundings. It also allowed for some beautiful photos!
