Sonesta Ft. Lauderdale Wedding | Marietta + Brandon

These two humans are special. We photograph love all the time, but the love they share is just something truly remarkable. Brandon adores his beautiful bride and Marietta feels the same about him. They have a sweet connection and we’re just so glad we got to witness it this past weekend when they officially became husband and wife! There were so many beautiful emotions throughout the day and we truly loved spending the day with them and their families! They had about 80 of their friends and family fly from places like Chicago and Iowa to escape the cold and join them in Florida for their big day! Marietta and Brandon also opted to just have their sisters be maid of honor and best woman, instead of a large bridal party. They kept it simple and beautiful and it really was such a wonderful day!

Much like our own wedding day, it started raining while Marietta was finishing her hair and makeup! Thankfully before we headed to a nearby park for their first look, it completely stopped and the sun came out! We love that they trusted us enough and still went along with the original plan! We did their first look under a Banyan tree in a nearly park without knowing that they actually got engaged under a Banyan tree just like the one in these photos! They had the sweetest first look and they both got emotional seeing each other for the first time. There was a heartfelt ceremony in a beautiful room overlooking the ocean. Marietta and Brandon even choreographed their first dance complete with turns, spins, and lots of kisses! Their reception was non-stop FUN and their friends and family really know how to party! All in all, this wedding day was absolutely wonderful and we’re excited to be sharing more with you all in this post!

What a beautiful journey this has been and we’re just so grateful for the way the Lord has moved in our lives and business. 

We’ve learned so much along the way and are filled with gratitude for the life we live 🩷
We help them build a timeline 🙌🏼

Here’s the deal: most of our couples have never gotten married before and aren’t sure how much time is needed for photos of each portion of their day.

That’s where we come in ☺️

We’ve shot about 200 weddings and we know how much time is needed to allow for photos to be captured without being in a time crunch and feeling flustered!

So we help take that burden off our bride’s shoulders and, if they’re working with a planner, we merge the timelines to make for a seamless wedding day 🫶🏼

The ultimate goal is for us to help relieve stress and for our couples not to have to worry at all about the logistics of photos on their wedding day!
We let them know that it’s totally normal to feel awkward the first 10-15 min of the session 😅

It takes the pressure and expectations off of them and helps them relax almost instantly! 

And it’s our job as their photographers to help them feel comfortable and at ease (even with a camera pointed at them) during our time together.

Making our couples comfortable (especially the guys, who normally don’t like photos lol) is top priority and sometimes letting them know it’s ok to feel awkward clears the air! 

Go ahead and share this with an engaged couple that needs this reminder 🙌🏼
