South Florida Backyard Wedding | Vivian + Alex

We love any weddings that are different and unique! Vivian and Alex’s big day was definitely different and we loved every minute of it. When we met with them for the first time we just clicked. Vivian is so expressive and bubbly, we just love her personality! Once they told us they were tying the knot at a private residence in front of a gigantic tree, our little photographer hearts were so happy! I know we say this all the time, but we truly had a blast and loved being a part of Vivian and Alex’s big day. We really do have the best couples!

We started the day getting ready in the home where the ceremony and reception were held. This home belongs to a family friend of Vivian’s and he was kind enough to let her use his home for the most important day of her life. There was a buzz in the air as everyone was getting ready but there was also a sense of calm and peace. We had the pleasure of working with Maureen from Maureen C. Weddings and Events and we love her! She was so wonderful to work with and made sure Vivian and Alex’s wedding went off without a hitch! We are so excited to share these images from their special day!

Can we talk about how gorgeous this set is? We love the hint of blue in the sapphire stones in Vivian’s band! Vivian’s mom, sister and niece helped her get into her gorgeous David Tutera gown She has tons of expression and was so excited to be getting married! 

Vivian was such a gorgeous and stunning bride! Alex made such a handsome groom! These are the first look reactions we live for!
GORGEOUS! Our dear friends at Nery’s Flowers yet again made a stunning bouquet! Just before the guest arrived, we snuck into the ceremony space to take some pictures! We LOVE long veils! Vivian and Alex opted to plant a tree to represent their love as part of their wedding ceremony Vivian’s brother walked her down the aisle to marry the man of her dreams Isn’t this a dream!?!? Love these champagne colored bridesmaids dresses! Love this unique wedding cake! And once the guests were seated we stole them away for a few minutes of this gorgeous light! We love when our couples are willing to take a few extra minutes for portraits when the light is just right! Favorite!!! They had mariachi play for them and their guests during dinner
And although it was hot, everyone filled the dance floor and had an amazing time! Proof that I’m not only a photographer but a dress-holder, veil-fixer and so much more haha!
Alex and Vivian, we love you both and are so honored to have been a part of your wedding day! We had the best time and are so excited for the journey you two have just begun! Enjoy your honeymoon in Punta Cana and welcome to the married club!
