Ashley and Alex celebrated their one-year wedding anniversary with a boho-inspired beach photoshoot at Bal Harbour, Florida, captured by Acromatico's Italo — the same photographer who shot their wedding the year before, on the very date they returned to mark.
Ashley and Alex decided to celebrate their one-year anniversary by capturing their memories at Bal Harbour. Italo shot their wedding the year before — they share the same wedding date — and returning let Acromatico photograph their love one year, and one pandemic, later. Ashley wanted boho vibes and asked to get in the water, which made for the kind of beach photos the studio lives for.
Acromatico loves adventurous couples who are always up for anything. Despite not being a huge fan of the beach, Ashley did this for her husband, and the results were amazing. Italo may or may not have gotten soaked and splashed on in the process, but it was completely worth it — and no cameras or lenses were harmed making this beach art.
“Despite not being a huge fan of the beach, she did this for her hubby and the results were amazing.”
Good to know
Bal Harbour is a small village at the northern tip of Miami Beach in Miami-Dade County, Florida, sitting between the Atlantic Ocean and Biscayne Bay just north of Surfside and across Haulover Inlet from Haulover Park. Its public beach offers wide, open sand and clear ocean access, which makes it well suited to couples who, like Ashley and Alex, want to actually get in the water rather than only pose along the shoreline.
Because Bal Harbour faces directly east over the Atlantic, the softest, most flattering light falls in the early morning, while late afternoon gives warmer, lower side-light without the harbour's midday glare. Couples planning to step into the surf, as this anniversary shoot did, should plan around the tide and bring a change of clothes — saltwater and sand are part of the look, but they are easier to manage when you expect them. Acromatico is a family-run photography and brand studio founded in 2004, working across South Florida and New York City with a dark fine-art aesthetic.
