Some couples just make my job so easy, and Dianet and Aron were definitely one of them!
They are both originally from the Dominican Republic and traveled from Orlando to Sarasota for their intimate courthouse wedding, surrounded by their closest family. We connected from the very beginning, and I absolutely loved how much they trusted me and were open to all my ideas!
We started the day at the Sarasota Courthouse, one of my favorite places for intimate weddings. Dianet had the sweetest first look with her dad, followed by another beautiful first look with Aron. It was the middle of summer in Florida, so you can imagine how hot we all were, haha! But honestly, it was such a beautiful day.
After their civil ceremony, we took family photos and then spent some time doing newlywed portraits around the courthouse. One thing I love about my two-hour elopement package is that couples get the best of both worlds. We spend the first hour at the courthouse and the second hour at a location of their choice.
For Dianet and Aron, that meant heading to the beach!
I know a lot of couples worry about taking beach photos in the middle of the day, especially during summer when sunset isn't until around 8:30 PM. But I always tell them that beautiful photos are possible at any time of day! On their wedding day, we had cloudy skies, which gave their beach portraits a softer, moodier look, and I absolutely loved how they turned out.
Something that's really important to me is getting to know my couples before their wedding day. I love helping them choose locations, plan their timeline, and figure out what feels most like them. Whether that's the beach, a museum, or something a little more fun, I'm always happy to help bring their vision to life.
Dianet and Aron trusted the process, had fun with it, and we ended up with such a beautiful gallery. Definitely one of those weddings that reminds me why I love what I do!
