A Sun-Drenched Celebration Full of Joy and Style
When winter had New York wrapped in its chill, Lauren and Matt brought their closest friends and family down to the vibrant shores of Miami Beach. They had a wedding that was equal parts elegant and full of heart.
Their celebration at The Miami Beach EDITION on January 22, 2022, was a perfect reflection of them: stylish, relaxed, and incredibly joyful.
As a NYC wedding photographer, it’s always exciting to step into destination weddings, especially at such a stunning venue. The Miami Beach EDITION offered a modern, luxurious backdrop with its iconic beachfront, lush gardens, and chic ballrooms. It was the perfect setting to celebrate a love story like Lauren and Matt’s.
A Dreamy Miami Wedding Day
Lauren got ready in one of the EDITION’s beautiful suites. She was surrounded by laughter, excitement, and ocean views streaming through the windows.
Their first look, set against the tropical gardens, felt like a scene from a classic movie. It was natural, emotional, and so full of love.
The ceremony took place under the open sky, with the Atlantic Ocean just beyond. Golden hour hit just as they exchanged vows, bathing everything in that magical Miami light photographers dream about.
The celebration that followed was unforgettable. From their stylish cocktail hour under the palms to a packed dance floor that kept the energy soaring all night long. Every detail came together seamlessly thanks to the incredible planning by Cheryl Clisby Events.
Why I Love Destination Weddings
Capturing Lauren and Matt’s Miami wedding reminded me why destination weddings hold such a special place in my heart.
When couples step away from their everyday world and gather with their favorite people in a beautiful place, there’s a special kind of magic that happens. The smiles are bigger, the hugs are tighter, and every photo tells a deeper story.
