Lisay and Alex married at an outdoor garden wedding photographed by Acromatico, the family-run South Florida and New York City studio. Their day went forward through heavy rain, strong winds and a tornado warning, and they stayed poised and happy the entire time.
Lisay and Alex did not let anything ruin their wedding day, not a global pandemic and not a tornado warning that arrived during the celebration. Acromatico photographed the outdoor garden wedding as the rain fell heavily and the winds blew strong, and the couple stayed as poised and happy as any bride and groom the studio has seen enjoying their day. That is what made the occasion so special for everyone present.
Theirs is a love that endured a great deal, from dating across a long distance to choosing to marry each other even while missing one of the most important people in their wedding because of the pandemic. Acromatico felt happy and proud to be part of the day, and grateful to have been chosen to witness the kind of people Lisay and Alex are.
“You could literally say Lisay and Alex didn't let anything ruin their wedding day. Not a global pandemic and certainly not a tornado warning during their day.”
Good to know
South Florida's subtropical climate makes lush garden and open-air venues possible year-round, which is exactly why so many couples choose them. The trade-off is weather: the region's wet season runs roughly June through October, afternoon thunderstorms are common, and spring days can still bring sudden squalls and wind. Lisay and Alex's day is proof that an outdoor wedding can be beautiful even when the forecast turns, as long as the couple and their photographers are ready for it.
For any open-air garden ceremony in Florida, a covered alternate space, a tent, or a flexible timeline is worth arranging in advance. A photography team experienced with shooting in rain and low light, like Acromatico, can keep documenting the day no matter what the sky does. Working across both South Florida and New York City, the family-run studio has photographed celebrations in a wide range of conditions since 2004.
