Kristin and Rick were married at the Shane Center in Miami, Florida, with getting-ready portraits made earlier that day at the Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami Beach. Their wedding took place on November 2, 2013, and was photographed by Acromatico, a family-run South Florida and New York City studio.
Kristin and Rick's wedding day began with getting-ready photographs at the Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami Beach, one of Acromatico's favorite places to photograph. The couple shared their first look on the boardwalk, where the moment Kristin appeared as the bride drew dropped jaws from everyone watching.
Their ceremony at the Shane Center was lit by a beautiful touch of the Florida sunset, carrying the day into a memorable evening on the water.
“When everyone saw the bride, their jaws dropped, she looked stunning.”
Good to know
The Shane Center sits within the Deering Estate, a historic waterfront property on Old Cutler Road in Palmetto Bay, in southern Miami-Dade County. Its setting along Biscayne Bay makes it a sought-after spot for couples who want a ceremony that ends with the sun going down over the water, exactly the kind of Florida sunset light Kristin and Rick's wedding was enlightened by.
Many couples, like Kristin and Rick, split the day between the beachside and the bay. The Fontainebleau Hotel on Collins Avenue in Miami Beach is a classic getting-ready location, with its own boardwalk along the Atlantic, roughly a half-hour drive north of the Deering Estate. Building a timeline across both means planning for that drive and for sunset on the bay side, so first looks and beach portraits happen earlier in the day.
