Darla + Steven | National Hotel Wedding

This National Hotel Wedding was absolutely amazing! Darla + Steven dated for a couple of years before they were ready to plan this wonderful day.

Both the ceremony and reception were outside by the pool, which happens to be one of my favorite locations in all of South Beach.

Taking advantage of the good weather – and great planning (big shout outs to Cat from the National and Flora Fox the wedding coordinator) we had plenty of time to walk around the hotel taking gorgeous images of the bride and groom. To top it off their first look was just adorable and couldn’t have been better.

The ceremony was very touching and offered up one of my favorite moments of the evening when the flower girl couldn’t control her excitement and let her tears of joy run down her cheeks – I’m pretty sure she thought a princess was getting married. <3

The perfectly decorated tables by the amazing Ines Naftali (full credits at the end of this post) set stage as the perfect backdrop to a night of dancing under the stars.

Darla + Steven, thank you for choosing me as your wedding photographer. I wish you a beautiful life together.
