Jill and Larry were married aboard a boat cruising the Intracoastal Waterway in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, exchanging their vows at sunset just days before the close of 2016. Acromatico, a family-run South Florida and New York City photography studio, photographed the celebration as its final wedding of the year.
Jill and Larry said their "I do's" on a boat cruising the Intracoastal Waterway in Fort Lauderdale, marrying just days before the year ended. The weather was perfect for cruising, and with a sunset over the water and their families and friends gathered before them, the two tied the knot.
This was Acromatico's last wedding of 2016 — an honor to photograph, and the studio looked ahead to 2017 with many more adventures to come.
“The weather was perfect for cruising the Intracoastal in Fort Lauderdale. With the great sunset and their families and friends before them, these two lovebirds tied the knot.”
Good to know
Fort Lauderdale, in Broward County on Florida's southeastern coast, is laced with navigable canals and the Intracoastal Waterway — the sheltered inland channel that runs the length of the state's Atlantic side. That network of water has earned the city its long-standing nickname, the "Venice of America," and it makes a cruising boat one of the more distinctive wedding settings in South Florida: the ceremony moves while the skyline, waterfront homes, and yacht-lined docks slide past behind the couple.
A boat wedding rewards timing. Late-afternoon ceremonies let the vows land as the sun drops toward the horizon, the way Jill and Larry's did, with the low light reflecting off the water. Because the deck is compact and the light changes minute to minute as the vessel turns, it helps to work with a photographer who knows how the Intracoastal moves and where the sun will be — exactly the kind of South Florida coverage Acromatico, founded in 2004, has built across the region.
