Hi there! We’re so excited you’re here because we loooveee this topic and are asked all the time for venue recommendations. For us, since we’re light, airy, yet vibrant photographers, we have certain determining factors of what makes a wedding venue perfect for your wedding day! We’ll not only share what those factors are, but we’ll also share our favorite wedding venues – and also the most photogenic- in South Florida! So, if you love light, airy, and vibrant images, a romantic setting, and vibrant images – this is the perfect venue list for you!
There are a few factors we look for in wedding venues that allows for our timeless, minimal, light, airy, yet vibrant style of photography that our couples love.
First, we always look for natural light! Natural light makes for the prettiest glow on your skin, hair, and your details – we shoot primarily in natural light because we absolutely looovveee how it translates onto our images.
Open Spaces allow for us to take advantage of the natural light for the longest amount of time! The more time we have in the light, the better we can make your dream images and open spaces usually have the most even, beautiful light. Plus, we can shoot even after the sun has set if we have enough open space.
Minimalism – Since we are focused on making sure that our couples look their very best, we want to avoid locations (and especially getting ready rooms) that are cluttered or full of distractions. The more simple and minimal the space, the more grand your details will look and the more you’ll stand out – you beautiful couple, you!
Greenery and Florals – Nature is the most beautiful background, the way the light falls on and through the trees and flowers gives your images a touch of color and authenticity. Whether its palm tress or oak trees, we love having greenery and florals in the background for that bright and vibrant pop of color that goes so well with your perfect white wedding dress.
