Ashley and Alex married at a gulf country club in Florida in a small, intimate ceremony, photographed by Acromatico. When COVID-19 forced them to shrink their guest list and change venues, they kept the date and still had the wedding they wanted. These are favorites from that day.
When COVID-19 changed everything, Ashley and Alex made the choice many couples faced in 2020: rather than wait, they downsized their guest list and changed the venue they originally had in mind. They married at a gulf country club in a very intimate setting, proof that the wedding of your dreams can survive a year that rewrote everyone's plans.
Acromatico photographed the day. The images here are a few of our favorites from this special celebration, a smaller wedding that lost none of what mattered: two people choosing to spend the rest of their lives together.
“When you love someone and want to spend the rest of your life with them, nothing should stop you from doing so.”
Good to know
Florida's Gulf Coast runs along the state's western edge, from the Panhandle down through the Tampa Bay region, Sarasota, Naples and the barrier islands of Southwest Florida. Private country clubs in these areas are a popular choice for intimate weddings: many sit on or near the water, with manicured fairways, clubhouse interiors and golden-hour light over the Gulf of Mexico that suits both ceremony and portrait coverage.
For couples planning a downsized or smaller-guest-count wedding, a country club venue offers a contained, private setting where ceremony, dinner and dancing can happen in one place, an arrangement that became especially valuable for the COVID-era weddings of 2020. If you are searching for a photographer for a Gulf Coast country club wedding, ask how a studio approaches small, intimate days and how it handles changing plans.
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 "Brand Studio" aesthetic.
