Tatiana and Justin married at Lavan in Broward on a rainy Florida day. Because the weather kept them indoors, we offered an after-wedding session at South Pointe Park in Miami Beach so they could recreate their day, capture the outdoor beach photos they missed, and even do a little dress-trashing.
This after-wedding session was for our dear friends Tatiana and Justin, who recently married at the beautiful Lavan, hidden right in the heart of Broward. They had a gorgeous wedding photographed by their uncle, and of course it decided to rain that day. That is just how Florida is one day clear skies, the next it pours and will not stop. Nothing kept these two from enjoying their day: tears of joy, laughs, emotion. It was the perfect wedding.
Tatiana looked stunning in her one-of-a-kind gown from RashawnRose Bridal definitely check these ladies out, because they carry the best of the best and always go overboard with their customer service. Because of the rain, we offered the couple an after session so they could recreate their wedding day with a different look and finally capture more outdoor photos, this time at the beach.
We had such a great time shooting Tati and Justin's after session at South Pointe Park. There is just something about newlywed love that is so inspiring. Despite fighting the daylight and a little drizzle, we made it. They were up for anything especially a little dress-trashing. It was getting dark and cold, so huge props to them for coming out and posing for us.
“After sessions are never an extra; they don't replace your wedding day, but they do complement it.”
Good to know
An after session is a relaxed shoot done after your wedding, often in your wedding outfits. It lets you recreate your day with a different look, reach a location you couldn't on the day, and enjoy more one-on-one time. For Tatiana and Justin, rain on their wedding day made it the perfect way to capture the outdoor beach photos they missed.
South Pointe Park sits at the southern tip of Miami Beach, giving couples open beach and outdoor scenery, exactly the kind of setting a rainy wedding day often can't offer. It was the perfect spot for Tatiana and Justin to let loose, even with a little drizzle and fading daylight, and capture relaxed newlywed photos.
We feel strongly that they are. You don't risk dirtying your wedding outfits on the day, you're more relaxed, you can wear that dress one last time, and you finally get photos you didn't have time for. They never replace your wedding day, they complement it. See our wedding photography or browse more real sessions.
Whether it's your wedding day or an after session at South Pointe Park, we'd love to capture your story on Miami Beach. Let's create something you'll want to relive.
View our photographySouth Pointe Park sits at the southern tip of Miami Beach, Florida, in the South of Fifth (SoFi) neighborhood, where Government Cut meets the Atlantic Ocean. The public park's beachfront, walking pier, and open lawns make it a popular spot for outdoor portrait and after-wedding sessions, with both ocean and skyline backdrops within a short walk.
An after-wedding session is a separate shoot from the wedding day itself. As this session showed, it lets couples reach a location they couldn't use on the wedding day, such as the beach, wear the dress one more time without worrying about keeping it pristine, and take more relaxed one-on-one portraits. It complements the wedding day rather than replacing it, which is especially useful when Florida weather, like the rain at Tatiana and Justin's Lavan wedding, limits outdoor coverage.
