As a Florida photographer, I love when my weddings lean into the natural beauty of the Sunshine State! Carmen and Carlos recently tied the knot at the Wisteria in Southwest Ranches, Florida, and their celebration was bursting with lush, tropical charm. They put on summer Florida wedding that reflected their lovestory and radiated with natural beauty, all while beating the heat!
A Summer Florida Wedding Secret…
I’ll let you in on a secret, direct from a Florida local: our beaches get all the love, but our tropical gardens know how to steal the show just as much (while offering a bit of shade too). Saying “I do” on a garden estate like The Wisteria, surrounded by sun-dappled palms and tropical flowers, feels like something out of a storybook.
Yes, it’s warm, but choosing a shaded garden canopy gives you a natural escape from the sun while offering a lush, textured backdrop that looks absolutely editorial on camera. When planning a summer Florida wedding, remember that this state has even more to offer than just sand and surf!
The Magic of Carmen & Carlos Big Day at Wisteria Gardens…
Carmen and Carlos’ wedding could have been a movie set! The day was that beautiful! Everywhere you turned had breathtaking views, personal details, and, of course, overjoyed faces.
Rockin Robin Events did a fantastic job coordinating this wedding. The day could not have gone smoother, from hair and make up (done by the amazing team at Hair & Make Up I Do) to the final send off! I was lucky enough to work alongside the videographers at Joley Studios to ensure every magical moment was preserved forever.
To Carmen & Carlos: Thank you for allowing to capture your special day!
To other engaged couples throughout south Florida: I’d love to be the local photographer to capture your wedding in the Sunshine State!
